The island’s secrets
On our Bali sightseeing tours, we will take you around and across the island and everywhere you may wish to go. Besides visiting the island’s hotspots, we also offer specialized tours to show you the “not-so-touristy” side of Bali Island. These exotic and unusual adventure package tours will drive you through the jungle of the island to reach secret waterfalls, unknown temples and hidden beaches. Our special waterfall tour package brings you to the impressive Aling Aling waterfalls where outdoor adventurists get to slide down a waterfall (yes, for real!) and make a 10-meter jump into a natural blue lagoon of the Balinese jungle. Culture lovers can go on a quest to see the secrets of the east, taking you to palaces, caves and cultural heritage sites in East Bali that not many island visitors know about such as the Goa Lawah Bat Temple, the Kerta Gosa Hall of Justice and the stunning Tirta Gangga water palace.

Water & Marine tours in Bali
Those who love the water will be thrilled to find out about our specialized water and marine tours. You don’t want to lie around on the beach all day long but you want to experience, see and do things above and under the surface of the sea. The outdoor water adrenaline junky, seekers of unique wildlife experiences and diving addicts, will get your fix! Our activities range from swimming with dolphins and surfing the waves of the ocean to flyboarding and underwater marine walks to island sailing cruises, ocean fishing trips and diving or snorkelling at the most amazing underwater hot spots surrounding Bali Island.

What lies beneath the surface
For sure, as Bali is surrounded by the deep blue Indian Ocean, there are many great snorkelling and diving spots to be found. Both in the east and in the west of Bali, there are some amazing spots not to be missed, like Menjangan Island, part of the West Bali national park, and the American Libertine shipwreck of Tulamben village in the east. This ship was torpedoed by a Japanese submarine back in 1942 and nowadays it is covered in live coral and surrounded by all kinds of colourful, exotic fish. It is easy to reach the ship as it lies just 25 meters from shore at a depth of 5 - 30 meters, making it a diving paradise for both beginners and advanced divers.

For those staying in the south of Bali, you can also go on a diving trip in Nusa Dua, great beginners spot to learn the tips and tricks of diving. Families with kids and even non-swimmers won’t have to miss out on these amazing underwater adventures either - they can do the ‘underwater marine walk’. Yes, it is really possible! With a special helmet on, making you look like an underwater astronaut, you can breathe normally while walking on the bottom of the sea where you can see and feed fish - a great underwater adventure for all ages! Talking about family activities, how about a trip that allows you to swim with dolphins? Nothing is impossible!

A healthy dose of Adrenaline
From wakeboarding to jetskiing and paragliding or all together in one fun adrenaline package - we can arrange it. Unleash your inner child and have lots of fun on the water with friends and family. You can also opt to try out something new and go Flyboarding, an activity where the water pushing you up, way high into the sky, and you can do some awesome moves and tricks. It certainly gives a kick and it is a unique watersport activity and experience!

Bali island became famous for its incredible surf breaks, and therefore, taking a surfing lesson is one of the things you absolutely must do during your holiday in Bali. Head over to the beaches of Canggu or Seminyak and you are up for some unforgettable surfing experiences for both the complete novice and the seasoned pro.

Boat trips
We also offer some amazing boat trips from traditional fishing trips to complete catamaran sail cruises. Our Waka Sailing Cruise to the island Nusa Lembongan promises an unforgettable day out at sea, fully inclusive of food, drinks (even sunset cocktails!) and activities such as snorkelling. Our Bounty Cruise combines a boat trip to Nusa Lembongan with fun, active watersport activities such as banana boat rides, canoeing, snorkelling and a 44-meter waterslide. There will be music, disco lights and a grand lunch buffet and you will visit a traditional village during the trip as well. Something different, but certainly another great outdoor boat adventure is the back to basic fishermen’s boat tour where you can catch some real big fish with the help of a local fisherman and grill it afterwards for lunch or dinner.

Diversity & unique experiences
Now you know, this island is truly an amazing place and there are many exciting excursions in Bali from elephant rides through the jungle, to swimming with dolphins or even having lunch on the slopes of a volcano. There is no other place on planet earth with this kind of diversity. The enchanting Balinese culture is visible and tangible all over the island, enchanting all visitors.

Think about the ancient Hindu Temples that are famous all over the world such as Tanah Lot or Pura Ulun Danu, the many colourful little handmade offerings for the Gods that are found at every corner of every street and the mystical ceremonies held frequently at the village temples and out on the streets all over the island. The Balinese culture, loosely based on the Indian Hindu religion that worships Vishnu, Shiva and all the other gods of Indian folklore, sure gives a unique twist that makes this island one of a kind in the whole wide world.
