About the experience

One bay, three kinds of adrenaline.

Tanjung Benoa is a narrow peninsula north of Nusa Dua and Bali’s water sports centre. The bay is protected by reef, so there is almost no swell — everything that would be risky in open ocean can be done safely here.

Three activities fit into one session. Parasailing: towed behind a boat at around 80 metres above the bay for a few minutes. Banana boat: you sit on an inflatable and get pulled fast, and it usually ends in the water. Jet ski: an instructor rides behind you along a marked line.

None of it requires experience. Life jackets are mandatory for every activity, every boat carries a crew member, and the order is set by the group’s pace. If you’d rather skip one, we add a second run of another instead.

“A bay closed off by reef — the open ocean is right there, but the swell never gets in.”

Highlights

Three things to expect from this session

Parasailing

Towed behind the boat at about 80 metres over the bay. Take-off and landing are from the boat, so you stay dry. Solo or in pairs.

Banana boat

The most fun part, done as a group. Falling in is part of the plan; life jackets are mandatory.

Jet ski

An instructor sits behind you and the throttle is yours. No licence needed and the line is marked.

Good to know

Small, important notes

The bay is calm

Tanjung Benoa is reef-protected, not open ocean. There is almost no swell, which is why it suits beginners.

Wind

Parasailing depends on wind. If it’s too strong that part is postponed or swapped for another activity.

Belongings

Leave your phone and glasses on the boat. Lockers are provided; underwater photography is charged separately.

FAQ

Common questions

No. None of the three requires any; an instructor is either with you or on the boat for each. On the jet ski the throttle is yours but the instructor rides behind.
Yes. Life jackets are mandatory and the bay is calm, but falling off the banana boat is part of the programme and you need to be able to right yourself.
Children 12 and up can do all three. Younger children can ride the banana boat with an adult; parasailing and jet ski have age limits.
Take-off and landing are from the boat, the height is around 80 metres and the line is under constant control. If heights don’t bother you it’s a calm experience — most guests name it their favourite part.
Hotel transfer, three activities, life jacket and all equipment, instructor and showers. Photo package, drinks and tips are not included.
No. We swap any activity you’d rather skip for a second run of one you liked, at no extra charge.
