White water rafting, trekking, cycling, ATV ride, horse riding, surfing, scuba diving, water sports, hiking, golf and more...

A wide selection of activities are available:

Whitewater rafting

The Ayung rapids are rated Class 2, very ideal for rafting novices who want an adrenaline rush without being scared to death. Although there are more challenging rapids in the world, the 11 kilometer (7 mile) run in the deep & steep Ayung River gorge near Ubud is breathtakingly beautiful. You pass isolated rice terraces, dangling jungle growth and high waterfalls. Your 4 to 6 passenger rubber raft is stirred by an able skipper while you and your mates do the paddling.

Surfing, Snorkeling and Diving

Bali has world class surfing, snorkeling and diving. These sports draw over a hundred thousand enthusiasts per year. It's easy to rent good equipment, charter boats with guides and - if a beginner - find competent instructors.

Surfing

Bali's superb surfing draws enthusiasts from around the globe. The premier surfing spot for skilled practitioners is Uluwatu (situated at the southern tip of the island). Accomplished surfers also praise the nearby Padang Padang surf - and the surf at Canggu (between Kuta and Tanah Lot).
The surfing at Kuta Reef (which lies out to sea from Kuta Beach) also receives accolades. However, its waves can become overpopulated with surfers due to its proximity to the bustling tourist town of Kuta.
June, July and August are the ideal months for surfing the above spots.

Snorkeing and Diving

May to September is the best period for snorkeling and diving.
Bali is ringed by many clear-water reefs rich in live coral, colorful tropical fish and other marine life. At one site - Tulamben - you can explore a sunken World War II ship.

Snorkelers and divers can relish two of Bali's small off-shore islands named Menjangan and Lembongan. The first is Bali's best overall site. The second makes an interesting day trip from Bali's tourist centers.
