About Bali

Bali is one of the best rafting destinations in Indonesia. The island has numerous rivers with serious streams and drops. Some rivers in Bali present enough challenges for beginners, while others are more suitable for the experienced. This adventure element makes Bali one of the most favorite destinations for world adventurers. Bali is situated in the western part of Small Sunda Islands, right between Java and Lombok. Bali consists of one main island and several smaller ones, such as Nusa Ceningan, Nusa Penida, and Nusa Lembongan. Denpasar, the capital city of Bali, is the second busiest city in Eastern Indonesia. It is not the main destination for tourists, but it serves as the main air hub for domestic and international travelers through Ngurah Rai International Airport. Most Balinese are Hindu, and they have been receiving travelers since the massive tourism campaign in the 1970s. Bali’s rich culture blends seamlessly with its beautiful nature, making the island a dream destination for many people. Bali is popular for backpackers, honeymooners, and high-budget travelers alike, offering everything from backpacker lodges to five-star resorts. Travelers in Bali can find mountains, pristine beaches, white rivers, challenging surfing spots, unique animals and plants, rich history and culture, intricate arts, and delicious cuisine. Bali also has family-friendly destinations and exciting nightlife. About 80 percent of Bali’s economy depends on tourism. Any travelers will find something that attracts their taste. The southern part of Bali is still the most popular destination for tourists. Kuta, Seminyak, and Legian are packed with domestic and international travelers every year. However, quieter areas like Ubud, Nusa Dua, Sanur, Lovina, West Bali National Park, Klungkung, Kintamani, and Nusa Lembongan also attract travelers. The diverse areas offer interesting activities that you can choose. Bali may be identical with a beach scene, surfing, diving, and sunset. However, it is also a place to learn about culture, tradition, and history. If you are bored with crowded tourist centers, head to Central Bali and join the river adventures like rafting, river boarding, and tubing.
