Bali travel guide — beaches, food, culture, and where to stay across the island
Bali · CANOES & KAYAKS
Between beach mornings and temple sunsets, one good booking makes the day. Here are 6 canoe & kayak tours that keep earning their place.
A small-group north Bali day: jungle trekking to Wanagiri Hill, canoeing on Buyan and Tamblingan lakes, and cooling off at Banyumala waterfalls.
“Excellent guide, well balanced tour, off the beaten track though not rugged. Absolutely loved canoeing!”
Paddle through Nusa Lembongan’s mangrove forest for about an hour with pickup, life jackets, and lockers. Kayak or SUP, great value.
“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”
A private jungle hike and canoe session on Bali’s Tamblingan Lake, with lunch and hotel pickup. Set your pace with a local guide.
“Superbes paysages et un guide de trekking extra qui sait nous faire profiter pleinement de la nature avec parfois beaucoup d humour Le seul regret est que le trekking et le kayak sont trop court. La prestation de prise en charge a l hotel et le retour est quelconque. En Résumé cette excursion est très bien”
Bali rainforest hiking plus canoeing at Tamblingan Lakes, Ulun Danu Temple, and a Banyumala waterfall stop with lunch and coffee.
“We had a very nice trip with Mr. Komang, everything was well organized and we had much fun. We saw different temples, we saw a rice terrace and many other things. I recommend it to everyone !”
Jungle trek around Buyan & Tamblingan, visit Ulun Danu temple, then canoe across calm water with water, tea, and guide.
“Perfect driver Putra and Kadek as amazing knowledgeable guide are the BEST!!!”
Paddle Bali’s mangrove waterways in about 2 hours with hotel pickup, wildlife spotting, and a small donation that supports local conservation.
“Great tour to see a different side of Bali. Easy paddling on smooth water. Guide Simon was very friendly and helpful.”
