14) Kite Boarding
Some great wind and lift, as well as the equipment for rental is available at Nusa Dua beaches.But make sure you have a great story lined up for your insurance company!Keep in mind, this really is an Extreme Sport.
19) Surfing
If you've come with your board you'll know where to go! If you are keen [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] to learn, there are many schools to choose from, just head for the beach! Whilst Kuta is a good all rounder, Uluwatu, Padang-Padang, and Balangan can provide some great tubes to test the more experienced. (some offer surfing lessons for ages 5+, so the whole family can enjoy surfing all together)
11) Golfing
A number of 18 hole courses are available across Bali.As you would expect, each more beautiful than the other. Relax on an easy course, or challenge yourself to one of the more demanding courses designed by professionals.Either way, don't miss the spectacular views over the Indian Ocean or one of Bali's great volcanoes.Most courses in Bali are to international standards, and many offer clubhouses and recreational facilities for the rest of the family.12) Helicopter Tours
Go on, splash out for that once in a life-time experience! Spectacular views [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] over Bali even Lombok. Take in the gentle rice terraces from the best vantage point, [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] or get up close and personal with a volcano! Not cheap, but certainly an experience never to forget. (Air Bali)13) Horse Riding
Enjoy one of the equestrian centres [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] at your doorstep! Selection of horses, with courses for the beginners. Wonderful escorted tours through the rice terraces and tide permitting down the beach. (Umalas or Saba Bay Stables)
4) Designer Shopping
No, I am not talking about the ‘fake originals' that litter the streets of many other Asian locations. In the recent years, Bali has attracted some of the most talented original designers, and artists from around the world (both the East and the West). This coupled with the inherent artistic capabilities of the Balinese, means that Bali today enjoys a large number of original designer shops.You can find anything from post-modern lighting installations, to Imperial Chinese style sideboards, and from original water fountain designs to some of the best jewelry designed and manufactured anywhere in the world.
Today you can also add to my list above, the [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] attraction of a myriad of activities catering to both the action oriented holiday maker and the more staid.
16) Mountain Cycling
If you like cycling, why not enjoy a leisurely cycle with views of the Batur volcano! Lots to see, lots to learn, all on two wheels with an experienced guide. (Bali Adventure Tours)
 Elephant Safari Park
Arguably, one of the best in [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] South East Asia!Great location and landscaped gardens. Don't forget to do the elephant safari ride.
10) Go-Karting
Only for those who get withdrawal symptoms from being away from the hustle and bustle of big-city life!All the noise, thrills and danger of the real thing! Choice of single or double carts.
24) Wind Surfing
Maximise the almost continuous winds found in Nusa Dua or Sanur. You can rent a board, and head out, or take one of the courses designed for beginners.
23) Waterbom Park
Water slides and rides galore, both kids and adults will have a blast! World class park, with well trained staff. Go early to make the most of your day! (open 09:00 - 18:00 daily)
6) Dolphin Watching
Enjoy these all-time favourites in their natural habitat. They are at their best first thing in the morning. Also, the soft hues of the sun-rise provide amazing colours for the photography enthusiasts. However, you will need to plan ahead for this one, since Lovina is in the North of the island, and you will more than likely be staying in a hotel or a rental villa in the south.7) Fishing
Go after that marlin or try your hand at yellow fin tuna! Most boats provide full tackle, bait and a running commentary, a friendly, giggly banter which makes the day out that much more enjoyable. (fishing boats from Benoa Harbour or Sanur)
Here is a starter [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] list of 25 new things you may want to try when you are next in Bali:1) Bird Park
You don't need to be a bird watcher to enjoy this colourful park. Take a morning off, and discover the beauty of an array of tropical birds Bali has to offer. Even better, arrive later in the afternoon, and enjoy some amazing sun-set melodies. A great choice for enthusiasts and families. (located at Taman Burung - open 08:00 - 18:00 daily)
21) TennisChoose from one of many open or some covered courts! Whilst most better tennis courts are located at major hotels, you canuse these facilities on a pay-per-use basis. Many will provide a partner to match your skills.
One final thought. If you are attempting something new, or slightly dangerous, please make sure to [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] check that you are fit/suitable enough for the adventure ahead, and that the organisers have the necessary experience/safety record so as not to spoil your wonderful Bali adventure.
22) Wake Boarding (or Knee Boarding)
Have a go at that double flip, or [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] just learn to stand up!Whilst most beaches are more suitable for surfing, you can enjoy wakeboarding at the Condrad Bali Resort, and surrounds.
15) Monkey Watching
Experience mischievous macaques in full action! Also, some good restaurants and eateries nearby.However, be careful of your cameras, glasses and the like! (The Sacred Monkey Forest - Ubud)
5) Diving
Put your PADI license to use, or if you are a diving newbie, just do it, and get your PADI certificate in Bali! A range of dive organizers for the experienced, and dive schools for the new comers are available to choose from. Some offer PADI ‘Youth Scuba' courses for ages 5+.
3) Dance Performances
Be enthralled by unique Balinese [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] dances! Try to catch one of each of:Kecak, Legong and Fire Dances, at least. There are dozens of different troupes to choose from, each with their own following. Keep in mind, shows in hotels and tourist [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] restaurants offer vanilla flavour, and sometimes mechanical re-creations of the real thing.Head out to some of the villages, and you will be handsomely rewarded with the authentic fare.
Like me, if you manage to fit in five of these activities into your schedule, every time you visit Bali, you will still want to come back for more.Because, at the end of the day, it is the people of Bali, with their welcoming smiles, and willingness to help, which will make mere adventures into even more precious memories.
9) Jet Skiing
Re-create those favourite Baywatch moments!Due to their environmental impact, only available at some selected beaches across the island. (available at Grand Hyatt Nusa Dua).
1 Slingshot (Reverse Bungee)
Defy gravity Bali style, with some spectacular 50m views! (That is, if you remember to open your eyes!) Not for the faint-hearted. Organisers follow international safety standards.
25) White Water Rafting
A thrilling experience through 8 kilometers of rapids! (believe it or not, still suitable for ages 5+) Organisers follow international safety standards. (Bali Adventure Tours)
2) Cruising
Pick a boat of your choice, and head for the high seas! Nowadays Bali has a great selection of safe boats to choose from. Go for a fun filled family outing or go more adventurous with some of the latest cutting edge crafts which deliver the speed. (Bali Hai Cruises, Sea Safari Cruises, Bounty Cruises)
Many happy returns to the Island of the Gods!
However, as I have been discovering in my recent trips, there is more to this tropical paradise than meets the eye.
17) Paragliding
Throw yourself off the sheer cliff faces of Uluwatu into the Indian Ocean! As a beginner you can enjoy great tandem jumps with well qualified professionals with great safety records.
As they say, ‘one trip to Bali is never enough'.Vast, seemingly endless beaches, beautiful tropical landscapes, the fascinating culture, amazingly hospitable people and shopping for local crafts continue to attract repeat visitors to Bali, time and time again.
20) Temple Ceremonies
Few visitors to Bali realise that in most instances [link widoczny dla zalogowanych] you will be welcomed to attend local ceremonies as an observer. The great thing is, there is a temple ceremony every single day of the year in Bali, just ask around to find the nearest one during your stay.If you are lucky enough, you may be able to catch one of the Full Moon or Dark Moon ceremonies which attract devotees from far a field and are some of the most colourful events on the island.Please remember that a sensible dress code, and polite/respectful behaviour are essential for continued hospitality towards foreign guests.(Also, please note that women are not allowed in the temples during their menstrual period.)
