Adventurous Ways to Experience Bali

By , October 28, 2009

Traveling to Bali is guaranteeing yourself relaxation and pampering.  And while there are beautiful stretches of beaches for long walks, spas to ease the stress of the real world, there are many people traveling now for the adventurous activities offered by may of the companies that are popping up along the Bali Beach.  Resort and hotel accommodations are plentiful, and many will offer suggestions one where to go for your particular adrenaline rush.

A bit of dangerous fun involves night surfing, but with my fear of sharks that does not sound exciting, terrifying yes, exciting no.  Many people have a fear of heights.  I myself would only go so close to edge of the Empire State Building, and there is a twelve foot fence surrounding the deck.  Bungee jumping in Bali may be one of those activities that will help people overcome their fears, and really get the heart pumping.

An adventure, perhaps not so thrilling of a rush, but an incredible experience none the less are the submarine tours.  In this way one may view the world under the sea, in the safety and the comfort of the cabin.  Another way to see the marine life is to walk along the ocean floor.  This reminds me a scene from the movie “Pirates of the Caribbean“, ) it just seems odd, but in Bali you will accompanied by a fully experienced guide and be equipped with the necessary equipment that will keep your feet securely on the floor.  One of the more well known companies offering this kind of ocean tour is Sea Walker.  And as long as your walk is not belong the depth of fifteen feet, no certification is required.

For an opposite view of the island, there are two activities that will give you a birds’ eye view.  Aerial tours of the island are provided by a number of helicopter companies and this is a great way to catch some incredible photographs.  From this perspective you will see the beaches that are more remote, the steps of the rice paddies, lakes and volcanoes.  For more of a work out, there are a couple of hikes up Gunung Agung.  Some of the hikes require a knowledgeable guide, and other less dangerous hikes just require common sense.  Either way, these are a few of the adventures to be had when spending time on the beaches of Bali.
