Bali #7, Benoa Watersports

There is lot of activity in Benoa; the most popular is watersports such as banana boat, Jet sky, Parasailing, Snorkeling, Scuba Diving, Flying Fish and Glass Bottom Boat to Pulau Penyu. And we picked banana boat and Glass bottom boat to pulau penyu, since we have planned to go to another place and do not have sufficient time for another games.



First we picked Glass bottom boat to pulau penyu, since some of the recommendation is to go to pulau penyu before noon time to avoid low tide, otherwise you will have a long walk to the island. Is not really island actually since is located on the delta on the other side Benoa peninsula.

Tip: There is lot of Waterspot company scatter along Benoa Coast, and you may free to pick one of them. Some of them are working as hotels partner and some of them are working alone, but once you go out to the benoa hotel beach most likely you will find at least one of their agents. In average they are professional, and according to Bli Komang Website, it’s been already 4 years run without any accident. So it is quiet safe to play with them.

So, back to Glass Bottom Boat, we got very good boat, very clean and dry. The boat bring us to the first destination ,which is where the Benoa Coral reef belong, there also snorkeling area but today we do not want to go for it. So just have a look on the glass bottom to see the reef and indeed ……….. It is very beautiful. The interesting part is, you dump bread pieces and lot of fish will came over to fight about. It should be more interesting there down below.




After spending few minutes on the fish, we start rolling to next destination, which is pulau penyu. The boat start increasing it speed and passing benoa harbour, before arrive at the final destination.

Several local guides welcomed us aboard, and bring us to the turtle pond. It’s a large pond with lot of big turtle fooling around; they will approach if there’s somebody in. Seems That this buddy has been trained very well ….. Eh??






There also few other beast such as a large Python, a bat, an Eagle and others. The interesting one is the local guide is able to speak in four languages Spanish, Japanese, English and Russian ………… woowww!!!!!
