4 Best Places to Go Flyboarding in Bali

Flyboarding in Bali takes surfing to the next level by powerfully propelling you over the water’s surface using a kind of jetpack. You can even ride, or “fly”, up to 32 feet high. The mechanism is similar to what you’d find in a jet ski, but the nozzles are instead strapped to a pair of special boots, allowing you to maneuver in an upright position, as if levitating. First attempts can be challenging as good balance is key.

One of the best places to go flyboarding is Tanjung Benoa, Bali’s water sports playground. There are plenty of operators, so you can enjoy this extreme sport with professional supervision and guidance. Rides along the coastline usually take around 15 minutes.
