INSPIRATIONS
Meeting the fire gods
Meeting the fire gods
Climb one of Bali’s volcanoes.

From the easy but scenic Mount Batur, to the longer and more challenging climb of Gunung Agung the views from the summits are well worth the effort. Gunung Agung is usually climbed in darkness and timed to reach the summit for sunrise. On the neighbouring island of Lombok, the stiffer challenge of Mount Rinjani will suit true enthusiasts.

Enjoy a rafting experience.

The grade II-III 8 kilometre rapids of the Melangit River are ideal even for beginners, whilst the slightly more challenging routes of the 11 kilometre Ayung and 15 kilometre Telaga Waja Rivers provide for more experienced rafters, especially the latter, with its grade III-IV journey.

Child's play
Child's play
As parents will know, the world of Scuba diving is well beyond the realistically achievable reach of most kids, but at Bali Hai Aquanauts a brilliant family friendly underwater experience is enabled via a unique underwater ‘space helmet’ fed with air from the surface providing both a dry face without the encumbrance of a mouthpiece and a great visual field.

The experience features an exhilarating and completely safe walk along the seabed at Lembongan Island, taking in the myriad of colourful fish found here and is a real treat for kids or indeed anyone for whom the technical aspects of diving are discouraging. The experience is part of a day cruise to the island that also includes other activities such as canoeing and banana boat riding.
