Review by : Yuli SE., MM

Talking about Bali, it means talking about the tourism spot. There are at least hundreds tourism spots available you can explore. Many hotels and villa you can choose to stay and many restaurants you can try to taste. Then you arrive in Bali, you will be confused which place you should go first, and what will you do there. Moreover, while you don’t prepare your to do list pretty well before having holiday. Here are the recommended lists of interesting activities in Bali.

Flyboarding in Tanjung Benoa

Want to experience like Iron Man flying on the water? You can try playing flyboarding in Bali. You will wear a pair of shoes, then you will be “pushed” by high pressure water, so you will fly up to 5-15 meters.

It’s not like a seawalker or underwater scooter (which seems to look easier), playing flyboarding is more difficult because you have to balance your body and get used to it by the pressure of the water. Not infrequently, one must try many times until he can fly stable and perform various interesting attractions.

Just like other water games in Bali, you can try flyboarding in Tanjung Benoa. The cost is quite expensive, it cost start from IDR 550,000 to fly for 15-20 minutes. But the experience will be amazing, especially if you can already try several styles.

Underwater Walking

If you want to see the natural beauty of Bali’s underwater, but you cannot swim or dive, Bali Seawalker can be an option. Now you can do it quickly, easily, and don’t need to practice. You will wear a helmet (like an astronaut’s helmet) that keeps you breathing and seeing clearly underwater. Then, you will go down to the seabed up to 3-5 meters deep. During the next 1 to 1.5 hours, you can play with fish or admire the beauty of the coral reefs below.

This underwater walking experience can be found in several tour operators in the Sanur area or Tanjung Benoa area in Nusa Dua. The price varies, starting from IDR 350,000, depending on the choice of package you take. Our advice, make an order online to get a cheaper price, because if you go directly there, you can get a price of 2 to 3 times more expensive.
