Bali is a tranquil paradise that is ideal for a relaxing vacation. The Indonesian island is a terrific place to try yoga, meditation, and even spa treatments. The local beaches are pristine strips of white sand surrounded by crystal clear waters, and are ranked amongst the best in the world. There are plenty of gorgeous landscapes found far away from habitation, just waiting to be explored. The island is also a highly spiritual place and is full of ancient temples. For those craving a break from the traffic jams, crowds and noise of the big city, the island of Bali is the perfect retreat.
Of course, there are those who desire a little excitement in their vacation and Bali has something for them too. White water rafting is an extreme sport that is quietly gaining traction on the island. It has two major rivers where the activity is conducted – the Telaga Waja, which originates from the Mount Agung; and the Ayung, which is situated outside of Ubud. Both rivers have been given a Grade III rating, so one can expect to navigate modest waves and small drops. Although a little paddling experience will be handy it is not always necessary.
More experienced rafters may not find these rivers a challenge (although the beautiful scenery may make it worthwhile for them) but first timers will definitely find a ride highly exciting. Rafting during the rainy season, when the rivers are at their most forceful, can be quite thrilling. There are several outfits licensed to carry out these expeditions, so tourists have plenty of options.
As a world famous tourist destination accustomed to receiving plenty of visitors, Bali has very good infrastructure. The public transport system still requires some tweaking but shops, restaurants, and accommodation are easy to find. When it comes to luxury hotels in seminyak the W Retreat & Spa Bali – Seminyak is an excellent choice. It is a 5 star hotel seminyak that is situated right next to the beach. Guests can choose between beautiful garden or ocean side views. The hotel has a warm and friendly staff ready to help guests feel at home.
