Bali Water activities

The rafting company I booked was much cheaper than the one recommended by the Ubud resort staff, and I booked it trusting the many reviews! LILA, a Sun Tour employee, contacted me via WhatsApp the night before to provide pickup information, and the round trip transportation was safe and comfortable. The staff at Tarantula Rafting, the rafting and ATV company, were very fun and friendly. The rafting was calmer than Korean rivers, but still fun, and the ATV was really fun!!! Indonesian buffet was served for lunch, and my wife and I enjoyed it quite a bit.

As someone who’s rafted in multiple countries and tried both of Bali’s main rivers, Telaga Waja River (often called Waja River) is hands-down my favorite for white water rafting. Located in eastern Bali near Mount Agung, this is the island’s longest and most exciting rafting route—perfect for adrenaline seekers wanting more than a gentle float.

this is one of the highlights of our ubud bali experience! red paddle bali adventures and our guide, Di, was very kind and accommodating. he gave clear instructions before we started the activity. we had fun during the rafting and he really has a way to help us enjoy. he also takes good photos and had so many fun facts and interesting stories to share. he also brought a dry bag for our stuff and assisted us with everything we needed. during the rafting, there was a stop where we could get drinks and some snacks. Di paid it for us so no need to bring money, we just paid him back afterwards. for the services, red paddle has a good and clean place for changing to rafting clothes and also for shower after the activity. they also give nice smelling towels and bath gel. our buffet lunch felt like a homecooked indonesian meal! overall, it was a really nice experience and definitely a core memory for us! the klook price is also very affordable esp with hotel transfer. so glad we booked it!

The 2-hour course felt a little long at times, but it was fun to see the various waterfalls and the upper part of the river where the currents were stronger.

First of all, as a tourist from China, I want to say I'm not a shill! The experience was amazing. The Indonesian guys have a natural feel for the waves, catching each one with remarkable accuracy. Because I had some experience beforehand, my success rate for getting up and riding was basically 100%, and it wasn't tiring at all. They have professional equipment to take photos for you. Safe! Fun! It was my favorite surfing experience, and I'll be back again on the 27th!!!!

I wanted my kids to learn surfing, so I compared reviews on Klook and made a reservation. What I was most satisfied with was that they prioritized the safety of the children and, on the day of the reservation, the waves were too high and dangerous for the children, so they told us to come back early the next morning. Sure enough, when we went early the next day, the waves were not high, so the kids could safely take surfing lessons, and both teachers were friendly, so the kids enjoyed the class. I was impressed with their focus on safety and the manager watching over the students during the lesson. The kids really enjoyed it, and they plan to come back for surfing lessons while staying in Bali. Thank you for the great class ^^

Snorkeling in Nusa Penida, I was lucky enough to see manta rays that day, but the waves were big and I felt very dizzy. Because someone on the boat was seasick and vomited, we only snorkeled at three spots. Each spot was only about ten minutes, which was a little short and regrettable, probably because the waves were so big. The driver I booked in the morning was half an hour late, which made me a little angry, but luckily I made it to the departure boat on time. From the big boat to the small boat, the changing area on Nusa Penida was too dark. At first, they even asked for a tip to use the toilet, which was really outrageous. They want a tip for such a dark place? The rest of the experience was good. I suggest bringing a towel on the small boat, as it gets a bit cold when the wind blows after snorkeling. The instructors took good care of us, but the changing facilities were too basic. The other service staff were very friendly.

A well organised tour with 4 snorkelling spots, thought the day we went was too windy and the sea was so rough that we missed the Manta Bay, but we were guided to go another 3 snorkelling spots where we met turtles, colourful corals, fishes and different varieties of sea creatures! Amazing! the tour guides were friendly and helpful. The Island tour was super nice too taking us to a few photo scenic spots! one improvement I would recommend is to make the shower place better!

Did parasailing, banana boat, and jetski here and had such a fun time! The timings on Klook were accurate (3 mins parasailing, 15 mins banana boat, 15 mins jetski). Waiting between activities was only about 10–15 mins since there were other groups too. We asked them not to flip the banana boat (nope 😂) and they really didn’t—but it was still super fun and exciting. Parasailing gave amazing views and jetskiing was the highlight for me. Toilets are a little run down but that’s common at beach spots. Phones aren’t allowed, so we took their photo package (400k) and managed to haggle a small discount. They took lots of good quality shots; around 130 photos with 2 videos of the banana boat ride Overall, awesome staff, fun activities, and good vibes—definitely worth trying if you’re looking for some beach thrills!
