Bali Activities & Adventures

Active Bali runs Bali adventures from US$56 to US$430 per person, including canyoning, white-water rafting, quad biking, kite surfing, PADI diving, and hiking and snorkelling day trips. Local guides lead every tour, and most activities suit beginners.

You can start the day canyoning in Gitgit and end it by paddling at sunset in Sanur. Bali adventures run from adrenaline-heavy to properly relaxed, and you don’t have to choose one. Pick a single activity, or combine two for a full day. Local guides who know the area lead every tour.

A few of our activities double as a tour of the best places to visit in Bali. You can canyon through jungle valleys near Ubud, snorkel the water off Nusa Penida or ride a quad bike across Kintamani’s volcano scenery. Browse by category below, or read our complete guide to the best places to visit in Bali and the things to do in Bali.

• Land: canyoning near Ubud and Gitgit, quad biking around Mount Batur and Kintamani, hiking, mountain biking in Amed, horse riding and golf.
• River and sea: white-water rafting, surfing, kite surfing at Sanur, stand-up paddleboarding, sea kayaking, jet skiing and Hobie Cat sailing.
• Underwater: scuba diving, including a PADI Open Water course in northwest Bali and day trips in Amed, snorkelling around Nusa Penida and hike-and-snorkel days.
• Sky: tandem paragliding and helicopter flights.

• Match your energy. Paddling and snorkelling are relaxed. Canyoning and quad biking are not.
• Combine two activities. Trekking and snorkelling work well together, and so do ATV and rafting. Tell us what you like, and we’ll build the day.
• Think about who’s coming. Kids, friends and couples enjoy different things. Some activities have age and height limits, and each activity page lists them.
• Book early. Canyoning, ATV tours and diving trips fill up fast, so reserve several days ahead.
• Pack light. Bring swimwear or quick-dry clothes, sunscreen, a change of clothes, closed or water-friendly shoes and a waterproof phone pouch. Your guide will confirm the list for each activity.
