There is no shortage of experiences to seek out
while traveling in Bali, and the island certainly isn’t lacking of a
comprehensive range of marine activities. Whether it is just simply a relaxing
swim on the beach or even dancing with the shark in the ocean wild, sometimes
it is tough to figure out which experience is right for you. The key is to push
out of your comfort zone and discover a true meaning of traveling by having
once in a lifetime experience. Perhaps you could find these appealing water
activities to your inner sense of adventure.
Surfing still remains as the prime water
activity in Bali because of the waves in this island are challenging, which
make them a perfect fit between fun and precarious that will pump up your adrenaline
to its maximum limit. Internationally known for its perfect waves, surfing in
Bali offers the chance to ride and conquer the high waves while at the same
time enjoying the perfect sun. For the first timer, be prepared to get your
body sores.
The stand-up
paddle is another way to enjoy the waves. Paddle boards are specially
designed to support your weight and their large size makes it easy for you to
cruise through the waves safely and at the speed that you desire. Here, you get
to control your movement and work out a little. Larger than the regular surf
board, the paddles allow you to ride over the equally larger swells. This is
definitely something that you could get addicted to. Seeming a little complicated
at the beginning, but it only needs to get used to and you will have another
cool way to sightsee or enjoy the beautiful ocean of Bali.
How about doing yoga on the stand-up paddle
board? Your mat is a stand up paddle board while the world is your studio. The
combination of sun, wind and water adds a unique sensation of balancing your
body and adapting to the motion of the board beneath you. Stand-up Paddle Yoga will teach you to breathe properly, sync your
mind and at the same time build your stability.
Kitesurfing is not very popular in Bali, but
this new sort of extreme sport is becoming quite popular in the western
countries these days. It is actually like regular surfing, only that a kite is
added to the equation, which allows you to fly over those complicated waves
that you cannot easily ride over. Kite flying by itself is already exciting
enough, but when you combine it with another sport, it is going to be
explosive. This water sport combines wake boarding with surfing, so in essence
you get two water activities for one price. That's nice, don't you think?
If you enjoy something a bit faster to trigger
a little bit of adrenaline, you might want to try fly boarding. This water activity allows you to actually fly across
Bali coastline. All you have to do is strap on the kit and off you go. The
instructors will of course have to take you through how the controls work, but after
that, you will be on your own and free to enjoy the ride. The devices attached to
your body can move you in any direction you want and lift you up in a stationary
position, all aimed at ensuring your maximum satisfaction.
Now, this next water activity feels like taking
you back in time when you wish you could ride your bicycle above the skies. Jetovator is the new thing to be ridden
above Bali beaches. This water sport accessory extends the ability of a normal jet
ski and redirects the water thrust from the jet unit to the Jetovator body.
It’s like defying gravity by balancing on a water bike powered by jet
skis. You can take the Jetovator through
the air in comfort for long distances. Or, for skilled riders, you can go under
water for a few seconds before creating some awesome tricks in the air. Don’t
worry if it’s your first time because the machine is incredibly easy to ride. Simply
grab your controls, find your balance, and that’s it. You will have an
excellent view of Bali’s clear skies, riding your water propelled bike.
Next up, the real experience that you doubtlessly
don’t want to miss. The Seabreacher
will take you to dive a few feet under water before breach the water surface
and launch the entire vessel 6 meters in the air. Using a supercharged engine
that will put you in high speed, this aggressive shark style hydrodynamics boat
will certainly get your heart pumping. For those who wants to soar in the air
while gliding over Bali’s blue waters, take your time to experience the most
exhilarating water activity adventure and live in a unique moment full of
adrenaline.
One of the oldest water activities that has
been enjoyed by generations of human is fishing.
No matter what age you are, this relaxing sport never seems to get old. It
relaxes the brain and at the same time excites you when a fish is finally
caught. The best thing about fishing is that you can make it as much fun as you
want it to be. It could be a way for the entire family to enjoy together or the
time when you need to be with yourself. While fishing gives your body some
fresh air, the fish itself will supply the Vitamin D.
If you love to watch the marine life in its
natural habitat, you should try snorkelling.
This water sport allows you to see a glimpse of underwater life, without the
need to carry a heavy oxygen tank on your back or have any special training,
definitely fit for everyone. A professional guide to ensure your safety is
available at most of the touristy areas, but for sure you can carry your own
gear and off you go to see the beautiful coral reefs! Most of these sites in
Bali can easily be safely accessed for this activity.
And if you want to explore deeper into the
Indian Ocean, to get the wonderful experience of swimming with the fish and
other sea creatures, then diving is
what you need. Armed with safety gadgets and accompanied by experienced divers,
you will get to look at the deep blue sea in a whole new light. Getting to see
the fish from the biggest to the smallest in their natural habitat is unlike
any other experience. The guides will not only watch over you, but will also
hand you fish feed to attract the fish. Get to see the different types of fish
that you have read about.
Speaking about swimming with fish, how do you
feel about swim with the shark? Of
course, some of you will think twice to be around sharks. However, being human,
many people cannot help to be curious as to what it would feel to be close to this
amazing, yet scary beast. This is what this activity will do for you, the
possibility to be nose to nose with these deadly giants, yet be safe at the
same time. The adrenaline thrill is amazing and it is also a once in a lifetime
experience. This is completely safe though, as the instructions will be given before
you go off swimming. If you say you are an adrenaline junkie, this is
definitely something to get your fix.
With so many water sport activities to choose
from, there are more than one way to enjoy the water activity in Bali. Even
when you cannot swim, there are definitely heap of things to do in Bali. All you have to do is choose and let the fun begin.
