Our Top 12, Ranked
- 1
Parasailing Adventure
The clear number one. You fly above the ocean on a parachute towed by a speedboat, with panoramic views of the Nusa Dua coastline. It feels like floating, not falling — and no experience is needed.

Jet Ski
Pure speed and freedom. Skim across the calm lagoon on a jet ski with an instructor, choosing 15 to 60 minutes of open-water fun. The most booked activity in Nusa Dua.

Flyboard
The biggest adrenaline hit. Water pressure rockets you above the surface and lets you dive back like a dolphin. The instructor controls the power, so beginners fly within minutes.
READ ARTICLE - 4
Sea Walker
Walk the seabed with a helmet that keeps your head dry and lets you breathe normally. No swimming or diving certification required — a surreal, one-of-a-kind experience.
READ ARTICLE - 5
Scuba Diving
Explore the reef up close with a tank on your back. Our beginner intro dives are guided, need no certification, and stay at a shallow, controlled depth.

Snorkeling
The easiest way to meet Bali’s marine life. Float above coral gardens and tropical fish with a mask and snorkel — calm water, life jacket provided, no experience needed.
READ ARTICLE - 7
Fly Fish
A splashy, airborne thrill for adventurous groups. The inflatable catches air as the speedboat pulls it, lifting you briefly above the water. Big fun for teens and groups.

Banana Boat
The classic group ride. Climb on with family or friends and get pulled across the lagoon — safe, splashy, and guaranteed laughter for all ages.
READ ARTICLE - 9
Donut Boat
A gentler spin on the group ride. Sit in a donut-shaped inflatable and enjoy a bouncy, splashy tow — perfect for families who want fun without the intensity.

Speed Boat Trip
A scenic ride along the Nusa Dua coastline. Less about adrenaline, more about the views — a great way to see the coast and feel the ocean spray.
READ ARTICLE - 11
Glass Bottom Boat
Stay dry and still see the reef. The glass panel lets you watch coral and tropical fish from inside the boat — ideal for small children and non-swimmers.
READ ARTICLE - 12
Turtle Farm Tour
Meet Bali’s sea turtles up close. A calm, educational stop that pairs perfectly with the glass bottom boat — the most relaxed item on the list, and a favorite with families.

How we ranked them
We ranked these 12 watersports by a mix of thrill, memorability, and how easy they are for first-timers. The top spots go to activities that deliver a one-of-a-kind experience with minimal effort — parasailing and sea walker score high because they feel unlike anything else.
The lower ranks are not lesser activities. Banana boat, glass bottom boat, and the turtle farm tour are the safest, most relaxed choices — perfect for families with young children or anyone who wants to stay dry.
