Active Tours & Trips in Bali
A trip to Bali? It means getting to know the island better than just beach clubs. Go snorkeling with manta rays in Nusa Penida, take a bath with elephants in Ubud, go jet skiing and parasailing, interact with monkeys in the Monkey Forest, and visit the Bali Bird Park. Enjoy a mix of culture, wildlife, and water sports. The ocean, jungle, rice terraces, and temples are all close to each other, so there is a lot to see. Bali adventure is better than staying at a resort.

What our customers ask about Active Tours & Trips in Bali
When is the best time to go on an Adventure tour in Bali?
Plan your Bali adventure between April and October during the dry season when the weather supports outdoor activities. These months offer clear skies for the Mount Batur sunrise trek in Kintamani and reliable conditions for water activities. Surfing spots in Canggu maintain good waves throughout the year. As one TourRadar traveler noted: "The sunrise hike up Mt. Batur was absolutely breathtaking and the perfect weather made it even more special."
How many days should I plan for a Bali Adventure tour?
A well-paced Bali adventure needs 9 to 12 days to explore the island's diverse landscapes and activities. Take the Ultimate Bali Adventure as an example which allocates 3 days in Canggu/Kuta followed by 3 days at the Pertiwi Resort in Ubud and ends with 3 days at the Tir Na Nog hotel in the Gili Islands. As one TourRadar traveler shared: "Our 12-day tour was perfect - enough time to experience everything from surfing to volcano trekking without feeling rushed."
What are the must-do Adventure activities in Bali?
Key activities include the Mount Batur sunrise trek waterfall exploration at Tegenungan and surf lessons on Canggu's black sand beaches. The Gili Islands offer excellent snorkeling with sea turtles while the Tegalalang Rice Terraces provide scenic cycling routes. A TourRadar traveler commented: "The surfing in Canggu and snorkeling in crystal clear waters of Gili Islands were highlights - we even saw sea turtles!"
What fitness level is required for Adventure tours in Bali?
These tours need moderate fitness to handle activities like volcano hikes cycling and water sports. Expect challenges such as the Mount Batur trek with its 2000m climb and 9km distance or the 31km cycling routes near Candidasa. As one TourRadar traveler mentioned: "Be prepared for some early starts and some big days. The mountain climb is quite challenging and the snorkeling requires you to be a reasonably strong swimmer."
How are the accommodations on Bali Adventure tours?
Stays range from the beachside Kuta Bliss Surfer Hotel to island retreats like Guava Garden in Gili Trawangan. Most properties fall into the 3-4 star category with amenities suited for active travelers. As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "The Villa in Lovina was absolutely stunning with infinity pools overlooking rice paddies - perfect after a day of activities."
