An In-Depth Look at the Bali Sea Walking Adventure
While in Seminyak, here are other experiences we've covered
What’s Included and How It Works
The tour kicks off with a comfortable air-conditioned transfer from your hotel, guided by a professional, English-speaking driver. This makes the logistics smooth, especially if you’re unfamiliar with the area. Once at the site, you’ll be introduced to the safety instructions and equipment—most importantly, the large, full-face helmet that allows you to breathe normally while walking on the seabed.
The actual sea walking lasts about 10 minutes, but don’t let that short duration fool you. During this time, you’ll be able to walk on the sea bottom to a depth of around 15 feet, surrounded by exotic fish and coral. The helmet’s full view window offers a close-up perspective that’s much better than peering through a mask or snorkel, making it ideal for non-swimmers or those uneasy about traditional diving.
The Marine Environment
The site is likely chosen for its colorful coral reefs and abundant marine life, offering stunning views that you’ll want to photograph. While the tour doesn’t specify exactly what kinds of fish or sea creatures you’ll see, the emphasis on exotic fish and sea life hints at diverse and vibrant underwater scenes. The experience is designed to be safe and gentle, focusing on visual enjoyment rather than physical exertion.
Safety and Comfort
Safety is a top priority. Supported by professional instructors, the activity uses safety-approved equipment, and lockers, showers, and changing rooms are available. Since this is a group activity limited to 15 people, the focus on individual safety and support is clear. Still, there are some restrictions: pregnant women, those with lung or heart conditions, asthma, or respiratory ailments should skip this activity. The maximum age is 60, but most travelers under 60 should find it accessible and enjoyable.
The Lunch Experience
After your underwater adventure, you’ll indulge in a set menu lunch. The tour includes this delicious meal, which is a nice touch, giving you energy for the rest of your day. The menu’s specifics aren’t detailed, but the inclusion of lunch adds excellent value, especially since many similar tours don’t provide food.
