Tanjung Benoa Watersports in Bali

Tanjung Benoa Watersports Bali: Packages, Prices & Activities

Tanjung Benoa watersports Bali is where most visitors head for their first taste of jet skiing, parasailing or banana boat rides, and it’s easy to see why. This stretch of coast on the Nusa Dua peninsula stays calm and shallow, so it works well for beginners, kids from age 7, and anyone who’d rather not battle waves before their first parasail. We run 15 packages here, each one built around a mix of activities so you can pick based on what you actually want to try rather than piecing things together yourself. Every package includes insurance, a certified instructor, safety gear, and a bottle of water, and pickup is free if you’re staying in Nusa Dua, Jimbaran, Kuta, or near the airport, with pickup available from other parts of South Bali too.

The Activities: What Each One Feels Like

Parasailing adventure

You’re strapped into a harness, the boat picks up speed, and within seconds you’re airborne with Tanjung Benoa spread out beneath you. Most rides run around 5 minutes in the air, long enough to take in the view without your arms getting tired from the harness. It suits first timers well since you don’t need any skill going in, just a willingness to be pulled up.

Jet ski

This is the one people book again once they’ve tried it. You get a set amount of time, usually 15 minutes, to ride the water at your own pace with an instructor nearby if you need guidance. Couples often go for this together, and it works whether you want to go fast or just cruise.

Banana boat

A group of you sit in a row on an inflatable banana, get towed behind a speedboat, and try to hang on when the driver decides to swerve. It’s less about skill and more about laughing when someone falls off first. Good option if you’re travelling with a group and want something everyone can join without much explanation.

Flying fish / fly board

Flying Fish straps you and a friend onto an inflatable that lifts off the water as the boat accelerates, giving you a couple of short flights rather than one long ride. Fly Board is the more physical version, using water pressure to launch you upward on your own. Both need a bit more balance than banana boat or jet ski, so they’re better suited to people who’ve done watersports before.

Sea walker

You walk along the seabed wearing a diving helmet that keeps air flowing, so no swimming or diving certification is required. It runs longer than most other activities, giving you time to look around at the marine life without rushing back up. This is usually the pick for people who want to see underwater life but aren’t comfortable with scuba gear.

Snorkelling

A straightforward swim along the surface with a mask and snorkel, guided to spots where you’re likely to see fish without needing any training beforehand. It’s the easiest activity on this list to slot in with kids or anyone who just wants to float and look. Sessions typically run for an hour, which is enough time without wearing anyone out.

Donut boat

Similar setup to the banana boat but on a round inflatable, towed behind the boat at speed. It’s shorter and a bit more of a straight adrenaline hit than a shared laugh, since you’re usually on it solo or with one other person. Pick this if you want something quick between other activities rather than a main event.
