Bali Day 3: Adventure Tours

For our third day we opted to partake in the many adventure tours that Bali offers. There are so many activities you could do in this island that includes Scuba Diving, Surfing, Yachting, Safari and more... Due to the limited time we have we decided to do Water Rafting and a Cycling tour.


Morning: White Water Rafting with Bakas Levi


This was a very fun activity and I highly recommend it especially for beginners who has never been water rafting. The trip lasted for about 90 minutes where we went through drops and waterfalls as we meandered through the rapids with our guide.



The course of the river is apparently not man-made and all-natural according to the guide.

FYI about this activity:

1. Lockers are provided for you to put your personal belongings

2. Bring your cameras as the guide will put it into a water-proof bag. That way you can snap shots along your journey

3. It's not that physically demanding. If you're lazy don't paddle. The guide can do all the work haha

4. Request to be capsized. You won't drown and it's quite fun to play in the water

5. Cost for the both of us was USD $75 which included lunch. We did not take our lunch as we wanted to try something else, so I don't know about the quality of the food


Lunch at Bebek Tepi Sawah
We wanted to eat Bali's famous Bebek Goreng (Fried Duck) for lunch. Ade brought us to Bebek Tepi Sawah which is a famous restaurant known for the dish. The atmosphere was nice as the restaurant overlooked the paddy fields. The duck was really crispy and quite tasty. For more food pictures of this place click here




Cycling Tour of Ubud Village


This is quite a physical tour but if you would like to see a part of the "real Bali", this is a fun way to do it. The tour takes about 2 1/2 hours where our guide took us around Ubud. Besides the usual paddy fields, scenic forests we had the opportunity to chat with some locals and see how they lived their daily lives.







FYI about this activity:

1. Bring Water
2. Wear shoes
3. Mountain Bikes are used but they are quite worn out
4. Let the guide know if you would like to stop to snap pictures
5. Tour includes some uphill cycling and rough terrain


Dinner at Rajas
We were really exhausted by the end of our tour and decided to eat at a famous Balinese Restaurant called Rajas in Nusa Dua Hotel. Conveniently located right next to our Hotel the restaurant serves up a really good Balinese Meal. This in our opinion is the best Restaurant we tried so far in Bali. The Bebek Betutu (Roasted Duck) is amazing! Check my food blog for more information.
