Indonesia Tours and Activities

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago with an incredible array of activities for travelers to indulge in amongst the islands. Bali and Lombok offer adventure in the lush tropical jungles and rice paddies or underwater in the flourishing coral reefs. Indonesia’s rich history also invites travelers to immerse themselves in perspective-shifting cultural and educational experiences. But if you’re most in need of rest and healing, you’ll find plenty of peaceful spots to kick back and enjoy health and wellness in yoga studios and spas that harmonize with the richness of the landscape. Taste the freshness of the landscape on culinary tours that bring you to award-winning restaurants, engaging cooking classes, and visits to bustling outdoor markets.

Frequently asked questions

What Adventure Activities Are There in Bali?

Bali has many kinds of adventure activities on land and sea. You can find tours that are suitable for travelers with some experience, as well as lessons tailored to beginners. Plenty of these activities are perfect for people who have no experience but just want to have some fun. The surfing in Bali is considered some of the world’s best, with waves for all skill levels. Famous breaks are located on the Bukit Peninsula. Kite surfing is popular on the east coast. Diving and snorkeling spots can be found at Nusa Penida, Lembongan, Tulamben, and around Menjangan Island in West Bali National Park. The watersports hotspot Tanjung Benoa offers wakeboarding, jet-skis, water jet packs, undersea walks, and inflatable banana boat and flying fish rides.

Travelers can find adventure activities just north of Ubud. Greet the sunrise when volcano trekking on Mount Batur and Mount Agung. Mountain biking tours peel down the slopes of Batur through villages and forest single track, or through scenic rice fields. If you prefer motorized exploration, there are ATV tours through the jungle surrounding Payangan village, or wilderness dirt bike tours in a variety of locations around the island.

There’s white water rafting on the Ayung River and Telaga Waja outside Ubud, or waterslide-like canyon tubing on the Siap River near Payangan. Go trekking in West Bali National Park for an authentic jungle experience.

I Haven't Tried Some of These Activities. Is That A Problem?

Anywhere connects you with reputable tour providers who use reliable, up-to-date equipment. With a small amount of preparation and common sense, you will be able to safely enjoy most adventure sports. If you’re not sure if an activity is suitable for your activity level, feel free to check with one of our travel planners and put yourself at ease.

It’s always great to try new things and push yourself while on holiday, but when it comes to adventure sports, it’s best to exercise caution. Always check with the tour company or provider to see if there are certifications needed (such as for diving), as well as fitness, age, or experience requirements. Be aware of weather and environmental conditions while adventuring outdoors. If you’re surfing, realize that most breaks in Bali do not have lifeguards, so stay within your limits.

Be sure to have travel insurance and/or medical insurance that will provide coverage in case of an accident. Check your policy before you participate to verify coverage. The adventure you don’t want to experience is an expensive hospital visit in a foreign country.

What Should I Wear or Bring to a National Park?

While visiting West Bali National Park, it is a good idea to bring ample water supplies, insect repellent, sunscreen and sun protective clothing, and comfortable walking shoes. Rain jackets or ponchos may be required during the rainy season. If you are visiting the marine areas, check with your tour operator to see what equipment is provided and what is recommended. There is no place to buy water or food within the national park, so come prepared. Be sure to check the local weather forecast before your visit and dress accordingly.
