A Thorough Look at the Experience
Location & Setup
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Nusa Dua or Jimbaran, removing the hassle of finding your way to the activity center. Once there, you’ll find a comfortable waiting area, shower facilities, lockers, and restrooms—making it easy to prepare and relax before and after your activities. The Tanjung Benoa area is specifically chosen for its calm, safe waters and the concentration of water sports activities, ensuring you’ll be in expert hands.
The Jet Ski Ride
The jet ski experience lasts about 15 minutes, which is perfect for a quick adrenaline rush. Under the watchful eye of local instructors, beginners are guided through the basics, ensuring they feel confident before hitting the water. We loved the way the instructors emphasized safety while encouraging a bit of fun—after all, jet skiing is about feeling the wind and splashing through waves.
Visualize cruising across the water, the engine humming beneath you as you leave behind the shore. The views of the coast and the bridge are spectacular from your vantage point, making the brief ride feel like more than just a quick thrill—it’s a chance to enjoy Bali’s natural beauty from a new perspective.
Parasailing Adventure
Following the jet ski, you’ll strap into a parachute harness connected to a fast boat. The flying segment lasts about 6 minutes, during which you’ll hover over the sea, floating effortlessly with a panoramic view of Bali’s coastline.
The view from above is breathtaking—seeing the entire Tanjung Benoa Peninsula, the long bridge stretching between Kuta and Nusa Dua, and the shimmering sea below. The sensation of hanging in the air, feeling the wind and looking down at the turquoise water, is truly exhilarating yet surprisingly peaceful.
A briefing and safety equipment, including a life jacket, are provided beforehand, so you can focus on the thrill rather than logistics. For many, this moment of floating above Bali’s waters becomes a highlight—something you’ll likely remember long after the tour ends.
