Indonesia · KAYAK & PADDLE TRIPS
Good kayak & paddle trips fill up in dry season and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Snorkel Nusa Penida for manta rays, then reset on Nusa Lembongan with mangrove kayaking and a buffet lunch. Optional massage after.
“Absolutely outstanding fantastic day Helped by the fact are guides found 5 giant manta rays all together we jumped in it’s unbelievable experience 👌👌 Also big thank you to all the guides super professional and helpful 👏👏👏👏”
Kayak or paddleboard through Nusa Lembongan mangroves, with transparent boat views and hotel pickup. $10, one-hour on the water.
“Great trip! It was just us in kayak and our guide in the next one. We went from mangroves to open water and could see many starfish. Beautiful and relaxing experience :)”
Munduk jungle hike, Lake Tamblingan temples, canoe on Twin Lakes, then swim at Banyumala twin waterfalls. Pickup and guide included.
“This is a must ! The guide Dharma and the driver Budi were perfect. They were kind, humorous and took excellent care of me. The jungle was beautiful and Dharma can answer any questions you can think of ! The waterfalls were absolutely stunning and the perfect swimming temperature, I didn’t want to leave! The walk is very manageable and Dharma will go at your pace and keep you entertained the whole time. This is a hidden gem and I could not recommend it highly enough - definitely go to the coffee farm as well if you can 🤩”
Nusa Penida snorkeling at Manta Bay, Crystal Bay, and Gamat Bay plus mangrove kayaking and GoPro gear from Bali.
“Vi kunne ikke komme over til de store fish, og der var virkelig meget skrald i vandet”
1-hour kayak or SUP through Nusa Lembongan mangroves with hotel pickup, life vests, lockers, and a calm reef-side experience.
“Pick up on time at the hotel. Free drinks on site. Unfortunately, the trip with the transparent boat did not take 1 hour as indicated, but only 45 minutes. The boater was very nice. Unfortunately on the route a lot of oncoming traffic with other boats.Auto-translated”
Dawn SUP or kayak in West Nusa Tenggara, guided beginner lesson, waterproof gear, and drone photo and video for sunrise memories.
“We did sup at dawn and we had a great time, beautiful sunrise and super friendly staff. We recommend taking photos and videos with a drone, it's a great way to capture the moment”
SUP on Gili Trawangan with a beginner lesson and drone shoot at sunrise or daylight, about 1 to 4 hours, from $14.
“Juste pour tes postes Instagram, pas d’activités vraiment sportive”
Speedboat to Nusa Penida for 3 snorkeling stops with possible manta rays, plus mangrove kayaking and GoPro footage, from $40.
“Schlechte Organisation vor Beginn und auch während der Tour. Schnorchelplätze enttäuschend. Riffe größtenteils zerstört. Guide und Touristen die lebende Korallen und Meereslebewesen für Fotos in die Hand nehmen + die Fische mit Brot anfüttern. Komplett überfüllte Gruppen und lange Wartezeiten. 6h sollte die Aktivität sein, aktive Altivität 1,75h, Schnorchelzeit lediglich 60min. Die drei Schnorchelorte lagen nah beieinander. Fahrt mit dem Schnellboot nach Nusa Hin- und zurück 1.5h. Ingesamt also nur knappe 3 Stunden. Nicht zu empfehlen!”
3-hour Sanur stand up paddleboard with a beginner lesson option, lockers, towels, and mineral water. Small group, easy start.
“Zelf zee op en vrije keus waar ik heen ging. Jammer van de vele boten die aan de kust lagen.”
Volcanoes, reefs, temples and workshops — and the lists behind each.
