Discover Bali's best watersports with this affordable package on Tanjung Benoa Beach, offering thrilling activities, hotel transfers, and safety features.
If you’re dreaming of splashing around Bali’s famous waters and trying a bit of everything—jet skis, parasailing, snorkeling—this watersports package might catch your eye. Offered at a very reasonable price of $45 per person and lasting around four hours, it promises a fun-filled half day on Tanjung Benoa Beach, a hotspot for marine adventures. The tour is well-suited for solo travelers, couples, families, or groups eager to sample Bali’s ocean magic in one go.
One thing we like about this experience is the inclusive transport from many Bali hotel areas—say goodbye to the hassle of finding your way to Benoa Beach. Plus, the variety of activities available means no matter your taste or thrill level, you’ll find something to enjoy. The biggest plus? The safety measures, such as high-quality equipment and insurance, are in place to help you relax and focus on having a good time.
However, it’s worth noting that some reviews point out that the facilities might be a bit “run-down” and that safety instructions could be clearer. This could be a consideration if you’re more sensitive to comfort or safety guidance. This tour feels ideal for those wanting adventure on a budget, especially if you’re staying within Bali’s more central areas like Ubud, Canggu, or Seminyak.

Booking this package generally requires planning about 35 days in advance, which suggests an organized and popular activity. It’s offered as a private tour, so only your group participates, helping keep things intimate and tailored. The start time is set at 9:00 am, a good choice to beat the crowds and the midday Bali heat.
Once confirmed, the tour includes hotel pickup and drop-off from most major areas—Sanur, Nusa Dua, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Jimbaran, and Canggu—covering most of Bali’s tourist hubs. This convenience is a big plus, especially if you want to avoid the hassle of arranging transport yourself.
The main stop is Tanjung Benoa Beach, which is a renowned spot for water sports. Here, you’ll find a bustling scene of boats, jet skis, and eager adventurers. The tour promises around two hours of water activities, meaning you’ll have ample time to sample multiple experiences, though some reviews hint that the facilities might be a bit “hidden” or less polished.
At the beach, you’ll have access to top-quality safety gear and medical insurance, according to the tour details. Safety is crucial since activities like jet skiing and parasailing can be risky if not well-managed. The equipment quality and safety protocols are meant to give peace of mind, although some travelers, like Mia, noted that the facilities could be “run down” and safety instructions “not very instructional.” Still, the overall emphasis is on fun and safety.
The package includes a selection of popular activities:
– Parasailing: Offering a bird’s-eye view of Bali’s coast, this is a favorite for thrill-seekers and those wanting a unique photo op.
– Jet Skiing: Fast-paced and exciting, jet skis are perfect for adrenaline junkies.
– Snorkeling: For those who prefer to stay closer to the water’s surface, snorkeling offers a glimpse into Bali’s marine life.
– Dolphin Watching: Watching dolphins in their natural habitat is often highlighted as a highlight, giving a sense of connection with Bali’s wildlife.
– Banana Boat & Fly Fish: These are often described as “fun and family-friendly,” providing laughs and splashes for all ages.
One of the reviewers preferred flying fish, parasailing, and jet skiing, ranking them from most to least thrilling. The flexibility to choose your activities makes this tour adaptable for different preferences, whether you’re craving adventure or a more relaxed water experience.
Facilities at Tanjung Benoa are reportedly basic or worn down, with some reviews indicating that the location can be somewhat “hidden.” While the focus is on fun, travelers should not expect a luxury resort vibe. Locker, shower, and changing facilities are available, which helps if you want to freshen up after activities.
The tour’s reviews touch on staff like driver Darma, who was praised for willingness to adapt the schedule in response to weather conditions, such as postponing activities after rain. That flexibility shows a certain level of attentiveness, even if language barriers occasionally limited communication.
At $45 per person, this package offers a cost-effective way to indulge in multiple watersports in Bali. When you consider the included transport, safety gear, and insurance, it becomes a sensible choice for budget-conscious travelers seeking variety. However, the fact that photo or video documentation isn’t included might be a drawback if capturing memories is a priority.
While the value for money is clear, some may find the facilities and safety instructions less professional than at higher-end operators. The “run-down” description can be subjective but is worth considering if comfort and clear guidance are priorities for you.
This watersport package is best suited for travelers who love ocean adventures without breaking the bank. Families with kids, groups of friends, or couples looking to pack multiple activities into one day will appreciate the variety and convenience. It’s also suitable for those staying in central Bali areas, thanks to the included pickup service.
If you’re a thrill-seeker eager to try parasailing or jet skiing, you’ll likely find this experience satisfying. However, if you prefer highly polished facilities or detailed safety briefings, you might want to explore higher-end options.
