Today, I will tell you about Tanjung Benoa, Bali.

Tanjung Benoa, like many other beachside destinations in Bali, used to be a fishing village and an old dock. The development of the peninsula has been very significant as most of the shore-side properties are now hotels, resorts and water sports operators.

Tanjung Benoa is home to Bali’s main water sports playground, and you can zip across the waves on a jet-ski or hover high up in the air for a breathtaking bird’s eye-view of the peninsula by a speedboat-towed parachute. Jet-ski rides are usually accompanied by an instructor on piggyback while you freely take the controls, and rides take between 15 to 20 minutes of fun and splashing thrills. Inflatable craft include banana boats and flying fish, both not for the faint of heart, with the latter gliding two-to-five metres high up in the air as it gains speed. Water jetpacks are the newest to enter the scene, which let you soar like Iron Man.
