Island Water Sports: Tanjung Benoa, Bali

Island water sports in Tanjung Benoa, Bali, is a good offer if you are not a person who is easily satisfied by luxurious, minimum physical activities like Castaway Cruise. Professional instructors in this southern peninsula are ready to help you test your skill. If you are a first timer, they will rush your adrenalin with their challenging yet safe sets of equipment.

You sensed the sea even when you had just entered the entrance of the harbor where you would start your island water sports adventure. Travelling south, to the direction of the harbor and the sea, you saw upright trees lining along the straight road with dark green mangrove at the background. Further south, the dark mangrove started to lighten up and eventually opened to the bright sky.

The shore was less than two meters distance from the road that led to the island water sports operators. At some intervals of the lining trees, you saw people sitting on the tidily-arranged rocks that border the shore, attending their fishing rod patiently. They were not local fishermen. They came here on motorbikes to fish. You saw their motorbikes, of the latest productions in the country, parked along the edge of the road.

You stopped for a while when a smiling fisherman rolling the string of his rod: you could not see the fish but you were sure he has got it.

For a moment, you forgot about the island water sports that would give you your own adventure. Glancing east, you saw three island water sports vehicles at the distance, flashing on the beach on high speed. You felt your heart beating faster than before: soon you will be on one of those vehicles, showing off your skills. You recounted your plan: in this island water sports venue, you would show your friends your expertise in parasailing.

In any other island water sports venue in the world, you would want the parasailing. At 80 meters over the surface, you loved the feeling of mastering the height even only for four minutes and only for one round – how you always wanted to fly again. But you know that you would not get stuck with one adventure only. And you were happy that today you would have many options to try: Jet Ski, banana boat, snorkeling, scuba diving, glass bottom, water ski, sea walker, wake board, and rolling donut.

Castaway Cruise: A Bali Tour Experience

Castaway Cruise Bali Hai Cruises is an effort to re-evoke the free-of-stress live environment and renew the energy of anyone who joins the tour. The Aristocrat, a 64ft luxury sailing catamaran, will bring you to Crystal Beach, a tropical, remote island south of Bali Island.

It is a quiet noon in Crystal Beach. You are swaying in your hammock, eyes closed and one foot in the sand, half-sleeping, half-daydreaming of anything. You hear the faint sounds of the Castaway Cruise Bali Hai Cruises crews working with laughter and chatters. But almost all the time you only hear the perpetual sounds of the waves.

Under water scenery

Someone calls you from the direction of the sea. You hate if it is someone from the Castaway Cruise Bali Hai Cruises telling you that the one-day tour is over. But the calling keeps on coming. You eventually open your eyes lazily and see your friend coming out of the water, still with the goggle dripping the gleaming water in his eyes.

He waves at you. Suddenly you are not sleepy anymore. Suddenly you have, almost instinctively, reached for your own goggle lying under the hammock. And suddenly you find yourself snorkeling with your friend in the crystal-like water. Sometimes you take a solitary dive to talk with the colorful corals and the various small fish.

Oh, it is really a castaway. You are far away from the buzzing main land of the well-known Island of the Gods, further away from your stress-packed, overwork-filled hometown, farther -- as the poet Pablo Neruda would say -- from anything. And back from the snorkeling, you will not want to part from the volley ball and your friends.

Or you want to trace the route to meet with older women of the village, may be just to give them a smile for which the women will respond sincerely, or to sit with them and knowing what they are doing. And in the sandekala, or the evening, you want to enjoy the blessing of the Gods for the people who are making their offerings.

When you are returning to the main land, you have relaxed and your energy renewed. Gone is your stress. And during your journey back, you look to the west and see the sun sets in a gorgeous procession like the closing of a colossal drama.
