Sports in Bali
There are quite a few sporting options that range from golfing to tennis to paragliding and white water rafting.
Bali Handara Kosaido Country Club is the most famous destination for golfing as the nature is really rich here. But there are other courses too such as the Nirwana Bali Golf Club, the one at the Grand Bali Beach Hotel and the Bali Golf & Country Club that is close to the Hilton.
There are some wonderful tennis and squash courts (both indoor and outdoor) that are spread over the island and many of them come complete with fitness facilities as well. Not an expert in the games? Not a problem! You can hire a trainer who will show you the basics.
Paragliding is a fascinating way to see the rugged coastline of the island. It is a great adventure sport too as you try to negotiate the winds. But do make a booking in advance – call up 703-060, to confirm your 20 minutes of adventure. There are professional instructors who will accompany you when you are up there.
Bungy jumping and horse back riding are some other sporting activities at Bali . There are some wonderful deserted beaches that you can explore on the horse.
White Water Rafting in Bali
This needs a special mention as you should never miss this when you are at Bali . White water rafting is a great way to check out some of the remote villages of the island and slowly drift through the calm waters and the picturesque rice and paddy fields. But the entire stretch may not be as smooth as you have to pass through deep sided gorges, volcanic cliffs and waterfalls. The tours will make you pass through grade 4 rapids.
Bali Scuba Diving
If you want to get closer to the under sea world, you may want to book your seat in one of the diving tours. Take a dip at Candi Dasa, Tulamben, Nusa Penida and at Amed in the east coast. You can see a lot of colorful fish, sharks, corals and even some ship wrecks too. PADI certified divers are there to help you at all times.
Fishing at Bali
This is another activity you can do while you are at Bali . There are basically two options – you can either book a yacht that will cost you US$ 500 for a day or smaller boats that cost US$ 40 for an hour. Some of these vessels even come with sonar and satellite navigation facilities that let you locate the spools of fish. Your catch may include Coral Trout, Mackerel, Tuna, Mai-Mai, Snapper and Wahoo.
Spa, Beauty Treatment and Wellness Care at Bali
Bali offers some wonderful packages that include a range of treatment options both for the luxury traveler and for the one who is looking for budget alternatives. The ones that are famous are located at The Legian, the Nusa Dua Beach Resort and at the Kirana. Feel refreshed after a great massage and therapy at the spa or the wellness club.
