Sobek-White-Water-Rafting-Bali

Whitewater Rafting with Sobek

Bali-Paintball-Area

Hunt Down Rivals at Bali Paintball Arena

Grab some friends and family, don your protective combat gear, develop a strategy, and hunt down and defeat your enemies in an epic battle through natural undergrowth, man made bunkers and challenging obstacles at the Bali Paintball Arena. The team here starts your session with target and training practice with their state-of-the-art paintball guns, so you can learn the ropes before you head out onto one of the three playing fields to run, duck, take cover and aim to outwit and take down your enemies.

Bali Quad Biking

ATV quad biking in Bali is a high-energy way to explore the island’s wild side. Starting from areas like Ubud or Gianyar, riders rev through muddy jungle trails, lush rice fields, and even hidden tunnels and small waterfalls. No prior experience is needed—after a short safety briefing, you’ll hop on and follow a guide through rugged paths that blend natural beauty with off-road fun. Tours usually last around 1.5 to 2 hours and include all the gear you need. It’s a muddy, thrilling escape that gives you a raw, unforgettable look at Bali’s countryside.
