Travelling to the lush and exotic island of Bali is on most peoples’ bucket list. There is a wide range of things to do here to make your holiday fun and memorable, from swimming through turquoise waters to partying the night away in one of many leading nightclubs in the city. Most travellers will of course spend time on the stunning white sand beaches and tackle some of the water sport activities available year round.
Almost all the Bali Beach Resort and hotels, such as the Holiday Inn Resort Bali Benoa for example, provide packages for adventurous excursions, among those, parasailing on the beach. You can also find several independent operators located around the beach that offer parasailing and other beach activities. Parasailing is definitely one of the most popular water sport activities in Bali, successfully combining the thrill of speed with an altitude that delivers panoramic views of sparkling azure waters and palm fringed beaches. And unlike diving or surfing, you don’t need training if you’ve never tried it before. Even though many people consider parasailing to be an extreme sport, it is actually very relaxing and safe.
There are two ways to enjoy parasailing in Bali, depending on the instructor and his equipment; you might be harnessed to a vehicle that speeds along the beach or to a boat that takes you out past the shoreline before sending you up. Some operators allow groups of two to three people to be attached to the harness at once while others strictly keep to one per parachute. The entire experience can last from 15 to 30 minutes, depending on your operators plan. Either way, all you have to do is get strapped in, sit back, relax, and enjoy the experience!
