Tanjung Benoa Activities
What to Do in Tanjung Benoa
Tanjung Benoa is a popular Bali destination for various marine recreational activities. Further along Jalan Pratama you’ll find water sports businesses of every size and genre. Most of these operators use certified equipment as well as professionally trained instructors and many provide insurance.
Bargaining is not common but it can happen and you’re in line for discounts if you bring along a group of people or choose several activities in one go. Make sure you book beforehand as things get crowded during school holidays, and start early in the morning. Spas come second in terms of what to do in Tanjung Benoa. Cooking courses and a trip to a seafood market can also be interesting options.

Glass-Bottom Boat Rides
Glass-Bottom Boats are perfect for those of you coming to Tanjung Benoa water park with toddlers! The boat’s number one feature is its view of the underwater beauty. You can also scatter pieces of bread over the water surface then hundreds of colourful fish will show up. Afterwards, you will be taken to the Turtle Island (Pulau Serangan) to visit a turtle breeding pen, a journey of approximately 20 minutes. In addition to observing various turtle species of all ages, you will see wild animals such as sea eagles, hornbills, bats, and snakes there.

Jet-Skiing
Jet-skiing through the waves in the sun is a truly exhilarating experience. In Tanjung Benoa, beginner's riding a jet-ski without an instructor is not allowed since the water park is busy with moving and stationary crafts. Don’t worry, an instructor will get on the back seat and leave the handlebars to you when you’re far enough from the beach and they’re sure that you understand the basic techniques as well as precautions. Now that you’re in control, enjoy the 15-minutes of fun speeding on the water or even making crazy turns if you’re an adrenaline lover!
Location: Along Jalan Pratama, Tanjung Benoa
Speedboat Towing Activities
A lot of the marine recreational activities in Tanjung Benoa involve being towed by a speedboat. The Banana Boat, the Rolling Doughnut, and the Flying Fish are inflatable rides; the first two are rough rides, even sometimes throwing you off into the sea, while the Flying Fish rises two-to-five metres high in the air on a rubber float like a kite. Water skis and wakeboards are also available along the beach, as well as parasailing up to 100 metres above the water surface. You can request for an instructor to guide and accompany you if you don’t want to do it on your own. Speedboat-drawn rides last approximately 15 minutes, while parasailing lasts up to five minutes.

Tanjung Benoa Spa Centres
Tanjung Benoa is sprinkled with five-star hotels and resorts, most with spa centres ready with calming, rejuvenating, and revitalizing treatments. Thalasso Bali at the Grand Mirage Resort claims to be more than just a spa, offering healthy interventions and therapies using elements fresh from the sea. The trained masseurs at the four-star Bali Tropical Resort & Spa will help you regain your youth and uplift your spirit, while Mahalaya Spa at the Bali Khama aims at relieving your tension as well as indulging you in beauty treatments.
For options outside hotel complexes, you will find a wide range of soothing spa places along the main road. Baliwis Spa is the biggest stand-alone Balinese spa centre to rebalance your mind, body and spirit with its private rooms (VIP and standard), villas, beauty salons, Jacuzzis, sauna, as well a jet pool. Jari Menari stands out for its blend of ‘long massage strokes’, rocking, stretching, and palm pressure therapies.
Underwater Activities
Observing the underwater world is one of the marine recreational activities in Tanjung Benoa. Scuba diving and sea walking will allow you to enjoy the beautiful scenery on the sea bed, while snorkelling gives you the views beneath the waves with relatively little effort. The business operator will provide you with the appropriate equipment depending on your choice of activity: masks, fins, vests, snorkels, wet suit, underwater helmet, weight belts, gloves, boots, and the breathing apparatus. Underwater cameras can be hired.
