I have always loved to go with the flow regarding holidays and travel. So when I found myself strolling along the beaches of Tanjung Benoa Bali in Indonesia, I wasn’t surprised that I hadn’t made any specific plans for what to do next.

There, I met a local man looking to organise some water activities on the bay. He was kind and accommodating, and it didn’t take long for me to join his group and try my hand at some of the exciting water sports on offer. That’s the beauty of travelling without a set plan; you never know what exciting experiences and adventures may come your way.

I finally caved to their persuasive powers and decided to go for it – the low prices were just too tempting to pass up. After some tough negotiations, I paid a few dollars for the events on Tanjung Benoa Beach and prepared myself for serious action on the water. As I looked out at the waves, excitement coursed through my veins.

Parasailing and Jet Skiing in Tanjung Benoa would be an adventure. And besides, even with the cost of the beach activities factored in, it was still a fraction of what I would have paid back home in Australia. With a grin, I dove in and let the adrenaline lead the way.

Adventure Parasailing at great heights to begin the Bali Water sports

Transferring from one boat to another, there is a little bit of a wait as others have their turn in front of you, but no more than 20 minutes which any person in a hurry can live with, not that I was in a rush, of course. Being the last to go meant I got to look at their terrified faces before being hoisted into the sky, bringing a smug smile to me.

It’s my turn to go, and sorry, there is no camera for the gorgeous view. I am hit with upon rising high into the almost clear sky; if only I had a go-pro at the time. There are a few clouds about, but it doesn’t hurt the moment. The view is breathtaking, and the experience is more than worth it, especially for the cost I paid, while you relax sky-high and take it all in. It’s all over in about ten minutes, too quick; I could have spent much longer taking in the surroundings of Benoa Bali.

 

 

Jet Skiing The Bay on the busy beaches

Time is never wasted on Tanjung Benoa. As soon as I am off the boat for the Parasailing, I am on the jet skis. This fantastic experience raises the hair a little more because the Tanjung Benoa beach is always crowded with boats and other jet skis everywhere you look; at times, you wonder if this is safe, you only hope it is, I suppose.

But you are not alone the whole time. An experienced instructor is with you since I have zero experience with the jet ski. Yes, I am in my thirties and have never gone jet skiing; the instructor negotiates the busy beach area until I am virtually isolated in the ocean alone. Then it’s my turn, and it’s full throttle on my own as I negotiate the sea’s swells and enjoy every moment of the first experience. The adrenaline of the whole thing is such a rush; I am like a kid on Christmas day; the smile can’t go away.

 

 

 

 

Checking it off the bucket list

Being out on the water always makes me feel more alive than ever. And when I hear the engines of a jet ski revving up, or I feel the wind in my face as I soar above the sea while parasailing, I can’t help but smile from ear to ear. Sure, some people might think it’s strange for a guy in his thirties to get so excited about these things, but I don’t care.

These experiences are new and thrilling, and I’m just grateful to be able to try them out. Who knows, maybe one day I’ll even overcome my fear of heights and try skydiving too. But for now, I’m just enjoying the rush of the water and the excitement of trying something new.

 

 

What else goes on in the Tanjung Benoa Beach

When I first arrived in Tanjung Benoa, Bali, I was overwhelmed by the number of exciting things to do. I was drawn to snorkelling and scuba diving, where I explored the beautiful underwater world of Bali.

Of course, there are classic tourist activities like Parasailing and jet skis, but there’s so much more than that. dBoat tours are also a must-do, taking you to stunning attractions around the island. And if you’re looking for a thrill, don’t miss out on the keyboard or banana boat rides.

The best part? There are so many beach activities to choose from; you’re guaranteed to have a blast no matter what you decide to do.

1. Parasailing
Parasailing is an activity where you are attached to a parachute and towed behind a boat. It is a popular activity in Tanjung Benoa, giving you stunning views of the coastline and the island.

2. Jet skiing
Jet skiing is another popular water activity in Tanjung Benoa. You can rent a jet ski and explore the coastline quickly. Be sure to wear a life jacket and follow the safety instructions provided by the rental company.

3. Snorkeling
Snorkelling is a great way to see the underwater world without scuba diving. There are many snorkelling spots in Tanjung Benoa with various fish and coral. Wear sunscreen as you will be in the water for extended periods.

4. Scuba diving
Scuba diving is an excellent option for those who want to explore the underwater world more. Many scuba diving schools in Tanjung Benoa offer beginner courses. Once you have completed a class, you can go on diving trips with a certified instructor to see some of the best dive sites in the area.

5. Banana boat
The banana boat is a popular activity for families and groups of friends. You will be towed behind a boat while sitting on an inflatable banana-shaped raft. Be sure to hold on tight, as you will likely get wet!

Don’t forget your travel Insurance before any beach activities

As someone who has travelled to Bali multiple times, I cannot stress enough the importance of purchasing travel insurance before embarking on extreme movements. While the beaches in Tanjung Benoa are stunning, accidents can still happen, and it’s better to be safe than sorry.

As you plan your itinerary and start compiling a list of things to do in Tanjung Benoa, don’t forget to factor in the cost of travel insurance. Trust me; it’s a small price to pay for peace of mind knowing you’re covered in case anything goes wrong. So book that parasailing adventure or jet ski ride, but make sure you have your travel insurance ready before you hit the beach.
