At once relaxing and reviving, a Bali yacht charter will leave you reinvigorated and excited to return. Tour sacred temples at the foothills of towering volcanoes, try out the huge choice of surf breaks along the tropical coastline, or trek through pristine jungle and bathe in a refreshing waterfall.
Spiritual, beautiful and friendly, a Bali yacht charter will be sure to delight and surprise with a new adventure each day. Nature lovers can hike through lush jungle to swim in reviving waterfalls, drive up to volcanic lakes or explore richly populated reefs.
Those on the hunt for culture and history should make their way to the temples and local markets of Dalam Loka to immerse themselves in Balinese life. Famous for its surfing spots, find the perfect wave along Bali’s coastline, whether you’re a total novice or a seasoned surfer.
The waters around Bali are home to the mimic octopus, discovered in 1998. Divers may be able to spot this amazing creature that can imitate the physical likeness and movements of 15 other species, including snakes, crabs, stingrays, jellyfish and shrimp.
Bali is famous for its range of volcanoes, the highest of which is Mount Agung, reaching over 3,000m into the sky to the east of the island and dominating the landscape with its conical and occasionally smoky peak. The most energetic of your group can head off on a challenging night ascent of the peak, which takes up to five hours setting off from the Pasar Agung Temple at 1,700m, arriving at the summit in time for the spectacular views of the sunrise. For a less demanding volcanic experience, but no less breathtaking, head to the three coloured lakes of Kelimutu on Topa by four wheel drive, and you won’t be disappointed.
Komodo Island is perhaps most famous for its resident ‘dragons’, huge lizards that reach up to three metres in length. The Komodo National Park has been designated as one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and is a great excursion for the whole family. Other animals in the park include wild horses, water buffalo, wild boar and monkeys galore. There are also some superb reefs off Komodo Island that are worth exploring; as part of the Coral Triangle, the waters have the richest marine biodiversity on Earth.
Bali is a mecca for surfers, with a range of breaks to suit all abilities. Kuta Beach is a great spot to start out, though it can get a little crowded. Try Canggu beach close to Seminyak for something to suit all levels, or head to Uluwatu to watch the pros in action. Located near the Uluwatu temple and accessed through a famous cave, only the brave and skilled should attempt to get in the water here.
