Jet Ski, Parasailing, Banana Boat and Bali Spa Packages
Book on Viator →Operated by Bali Rafting Tours · Bookable on Viator
Five hours of water fun and spa calm.
This Bali package strings together the big-ticket water thrills in Tanjung Benoa—jet ski, parasailing, and banana boat—then finishes with a one-hour spa and massage session (2 hours total at Bali Orchid Spa) in a Balinese-style setting. I like that it’s built as a simple full-day plan: you’re collected, you ride, you eat, you relax, and you’re back.
I also like the way it keeps the stress low. You get a private vehicle for your group, plus an English-speaking driver to handle the flow, and the watersports site provides safety gear, lockers, towels, showers, and changing rooms. One heads-up: the day runs about 6 to 7 hours, and the tour depends on good weather, so if the forecast turns rough, timing can shift or plans can change.

Key Things That Make This Package Worth Your Time

- Private ride, not a cattle-car: your group uses an air-conditioned vehicle with an English-speaking driver.
- Jet ski guidance is included: you’ll be guided by an instructor (no extra cost for the instructor).
- Two different moods in one day: loud water sports followed by a 2-hour Balinese spa massage at Bali Orchid Spa.
- Comfort basics are handled: lockers, towels, shower access, and life jackets are part of the setup.
- Lunch is included: an Indonesian set menu keeps you from scrambling for food between activities.
Entering The Tanjung Benoa Water-Sports Machine
Most Bali water-sport days in this area boil down to one thing: get you to the beach, get you on the equipment, keep you safe, then get you back out before the sun gets mean. What makes this package feel practical is the tight structure. You’re picked up from your area (Seminyak is the anchor, but pickup is offered from many neighborhoods across south and central Bali), then you go to the water-sports base for your main activities, and you end with the spa.
The location matters too. Tanjung Benoa (where these water activities are centered) is one of Bali’s more established zones for boats and sea rides. That usually translates to smoother operations on the water day: clearer stations for gear, a defined activity area, and a predictable sequence.
And yes, you’ll be doing multiple activities, not just one. This plan includes Jet Ski, Parasailing, and Banana Boat as the core set. If you’re the kind of person who wants variety in one hit, that’s a big win.

Price and Value: Why $110 Usually Works Here

At $110 per person, you’re paying for more than a single activity. The package bundles:
- Watersports admissions and activities (jet ski, parasailing, banana boat)
- Safety-related items like life jackets, plus on-site basics (lockers, towels, showers, changing rooms)
- A 2-hour spa and massage session at Bali Orchid Spa
- Indonesian set-menu lunch
- Watersport insurance, tax, and service
That matters because Bali water activities can get expensive fast once you add transport, separate tickets, and food. Here, the idea is to simplify the day into one price. It also helps that most people book this about 10 days in advance, so it tends to align with how the day is scheduled at the water-sports and spa sites.
Is it cheap? No. But for a single day that mixes adrenaline and relaxation with transportation and meals handled, it can be good value—especially if you’re traveling with someone else and you’d otherwise pay for separate tickets and a separate driver.
Pickup That Covers a Lot of Bali (and Saves Your Energy)

The pickup pattern is one of the most helpful parts of the design. It’s private, and it’s offered from a wide list of locations, including Ubud, Sanur, Denpasar, Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Tuban, Kuta, Legian, Seminyak, Kerobokan, and Canggu. If you’re in the Seminyak area, you’re close to the action—but if you’re staying elsewhere, you still can get a door-to-door experience.
Why you’ll care: a day like this lives or dies by timing. With pickup and drop-off set, you don’t need to coordinate taxis between the water-sports base and the spa. You just show up, check in, and follow the plan.
The vehicle is air-conditioned, which is worth noting on a hot Bali day. And the driver is professional English-speaking, so you’re not stuck guessing at what happens next.
Stop One: Jet Ski, Parasailing, and Banana Boat at Bali Water Sports
Your watersports stop is at Bali Water Sports (listed as Bali Dolphin Shop in the schedule). The ticket is set for about 1 hour, so think of this as a concentrated burst rather than a slow hang on the beach.
Here’s what you should expect:
Jet Ski
Jet ski is included, and the setup includes instructor guidance. For this activity, the schedule explicitly notes that jet ski must be guided by an instructor, and there is no extra charge for that instructor. That’s a practical safety and confidence booster, especially if you don’t have prior experience.
Parasailing
Parasailing is also included, and it’s typically one of the best “one-time bucket list” rides. You’re up in the air (with safety equipment in place), and the payoff is the change of perspective over the water.
Banana Boat
Then you’ll switch back to surface-level thrills with a banana boat ride. It’s usually more chaotic, in a fun way, and it doesn’t require any special skill beyond being ready to hold on.
Safety and on-site basics
This package covers the practical side: safety-approved equipment, life jackets for water sport activities, lockers, towels, shower and changing room access. That means you can arrive, get suited, do the activities, rinse off, and move on without turning the day into an extra shopping mission.
Energy levels and age range
The minimum age allowed is 9, and the maximum age allowed is 60. The activities are also described as appropriate for a wide age range, and one customer noted it isn’t overly challenging. Still, you should be ready for sun, wind, saltwater, and the physical routine of getting on/off equipment.
One more reality check: the experience requires good weather. If conditions aren’t right, plans can shift or the operator may offer a different date or a full refund. That’s not a small detail; it’s the main driver of whether a water-sports day is smooth.
What I’d Bring (and Why It’s Mentioned)
The package asks for a few essentials: sunscreen, a camera, and a change of clothes. That’s not just a checkbox. After jet ski and banana boat, you’ll want to get out of wet gear and reset before the spa.
Smart casual is the dress code. On a hot day, that usually means breathable tops and shorts or lightweight clothes that won’t make you miserable while waiting. Also, because lockers and towels are included, you’re not trying to solve that problem mid-day.
If you want photos, bring a camera you can manage with wet conditions in mind. If you use a phone, I’d keep it in a waterproof case or bag if you have one.
Lunch Break: Indonesian Set Menu Lunch That Keeps You on Schedule

Between watersports and the spa, you’ll be served lunch at a restaurant. It’s an Indonesian set menu, and there’s a vegetarian option available if you advise during booking.
Why lunch matters here: without it, this kind of schedule can turn into a hunt for food while you’re already tired and sun-warmed. With lunch built in, your day stays controlled. You can eat, cool down, and then transition into the massage phase without losing time.
Stop Two: Bali Orchid Spa’s 2-Hour Massage and Holistic Care
The ending is what makes this package feel worth it even if your water activities run “just fun” instead of life-changing. You go to Bali Orchid Spa for a 2-hour spa and massage treatment.
The spa experience is described as true enjoyment of Balinese holistic care, with Balinese-style spa rooms, an exotic open tropical garden setting, and a waterfall effect in each room. In plain language: it’s designed to switch your brain from ocean noise to relaxation.
A nice detail: this is guided by Balinese therapists, which tends to mean the massage experience is the focus, not a rushed add-on. One of the standout themes from customer feedback is that ending the day with the massage is the right move.
What to do during the spa time
Keep it simple: arrive ready to relax, and let the routine take over. If you’re the kind of person who wants to share preferences, you can ask. But even if you don’t, the point is that you’re getting time carved out specifically for recovery.
The Human Touch: Drivers and Activity Staff Make or Break the Day
One of the strongest praise points in the provided feedback is the quality of the people running the show.
A highlight name is Wayan Grata, who handled the day with a level of smoothness that people clearly noticed. Another mentioned staff member is Bagiarsa, credited with handling the activities perfectly. When you’re doing several water rides in a row, good coordination really matters—especially for timing, safety instructions, and keeping you from feeling lost when it’s busy.
You also get a jet ski instructor during that segment, with no extra cost for the instructor. That’s a smart safety structure, and it helps reduce that awkward feeling some first-timers get when they’re not sure what’s expected.
Who This Works For (and Who Should Think Twice)
This package fits best if you want a full-day mix of action and calm.
You’ll likely enjoy it if:
- You want three water activities in one morning/afternoon window
- You prefer pickup and drop-off so you’re not coordinating transport across Bali
- You want a massage finish rather than a long scramble for dinner and a late return
- You’re traveling with family or friends in the allowed age range (minimum 9, maximum 60)
You might pause if:
- You’re sensitive to sun, wind, and getting wet (it’s water sports, so be honest with yourself)
- You need lots of downtime built in—this schedule is fairly full for 6 to 7 hours
- Your travel window is tight and weather uncertainty could cause stress. The experience depends on good weather, and if it’s canceled due to poor conditions, you’ll be offered a different date or a full refund.
Practical Tips to Keep the Day Easy
Here’s how I’d set you up for the smoothest experience using only what’s supported by the package details and common-sense timing.
- Bring sunscreen and a change of clothes. The included lockers, towels, showers, and changing rooms help, but you still want your own dry clothes for the ride to the spa.
- Wear smart casual for pickup, but don’t treat it as your “final outfit.” You’ll change for the water day and then need to reset before the spa.
- If you eat vegetarian, tell them at booking so the vegetarian lunch option is ready.
- If you’re unsure about jet ski, lean on the fact that an instructor guides you. You don’t need to figure it out on your own.
- Plan your expectations for photos. The rides give you chances to capture views, but you’ll also be in a water environment, so keep your gear protected.
One small “ask at the right time” tip: take a moment with your driver right after pickup to confirm the pace you’re comfortable with. Since it’s private for your group, you can generally align with your own comfort level.
Should You Book This Bali Water Sports and Bali Orchid Spa Package?
If your ideal Bali day looks like: water thrills first, then a real massage finish, this is a strong option. At $110, you’re bundling multiple activities, lunch, and a 2-hour spa session, plus a private ride and included basics that reduce friction. The overall rating is very high (4.8 with 24 reviews), with 96% recommending the experience.
Book it if you want value through structure, and you like the idea of ending the day feeling better, not just louder. Don’t book it if you’re likely to panic about weather-dependent schedules or you’d rather do one water activity at a slower pace.
If you do book, my advice is simple: come prepared with sunscreen and a change of clothes, show up for the day with energy for both phases, and let the spa be the payoff you’ve been waiting for.
