The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning or late afternoon

Choose early starts or late slots to avoid strongest midday heat and choppier seas for parasailing.

Pack a dry bag and waterproof case

Protect phones and wallets during water activities and transition quickly after the zipline.

Wear closed-toe shoes for the zipline

Light hiking shoes or sneakers give secure footing on platforms and walking tracks through rice fields.

Check medical restrictions before booking

This trip is not recommended for pregnant travelers or those with spinal or serious heart conditions—notify guides of concerns.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Short rice-field walking tracks at U Fun Field for quiet views and photo booths
  • Beachside warungs in Tanjung Benoa serving fresh grilled fish after activities

Wildlife

  • White-breasted waterbirds along the rice paddies
  • Reef fish and occasional sea turtles in Tanjung Benoa waters

Conservation Note

Choose reef-safe sunscreen and avoid stepped-on coral; operators monitor weather and sea conditions to reduce risk and minimize reef disturbance.

The Ubud highlands’ terraced irrigation (subak) system dates back centuries and remains a cultural backbone; Tanjung Benoa grew into a watersports hub as tourism expanded in the late 20th century.
