Bali’s beaches are famous for their vibrant water sports scene, especially in Tanjung Benoa. Recently, we took a closer look at the Bali Water Sport Jumbo Packages offered by Bali Full Day Tour, and overall, it looks like a fantastic way to enjoy Bali’s aquatic thrills without the hassle of booking each activity separately. Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or just want to dip your toes into marine fun, this package might be a solid choice.
What we love about these packages is the convenience of round-trip transfers, the variety of activities included, and the safety measures that seem to be well taken care of. The package also scores points for group discounts and the ability to purchase souvenirs or photos afterward, making it a memorable and hassle-free experience. That said, a potential drawback could be the crowd during peak times and the short duration of each activity, which might leave some craving more time.
This tour is ideal for first-timers eager to try multiple water sports, families wanting a fun day out, or anyone short on time but wanting a comprehensive aquatic experience. If you’re looking for good value with professional guidance, this could be your Bali water adventure.

The emphasis on safety equipment—like life jackets, fins, masks, and snorkels—means you can enjoy with peace of mind. The package includes all necessary gear, and instructors guide activities like Jet Ski (with no extra cost for guides), while snorkeling includes fins, masks, snorkel, and boat.

The Schedule and Activities
The activities are grouped into a few popular options, such as parasailing, Jet Ski, banana boat, flying fish, and Seawalker diving. You can preselect your preferred “jumbo” package, which bundles activities for a more cost-effective and streamlined experience.
The reviews mention some of the highlights: the parasailing offers stunning aerial views, while Jet Skiing provides a rush of adrenaline. The banana boat and fly fish are described as super fun, especially since you’re guided and supervised at all times. Some reviewers, like William R., appreciated how efficient the process was — they managed to experience multiple activities in a short time.
Sea-walking is a unique feature that some upgraded packages offer, allowing you to walk on the ocean floor with a helmet and breathing apparatus. Reviewers highlight that this was a favorite activity, giving a different perspective of Bali’s marine life without needing diving experience.
Authentic Reviews & Insider Tips
A recurring theme in reviews is the professionalism of guides and staff. Many travelers praise knowledgeable instructors and friendly drivers like Ardika, who is noted for his entertaining personality. Guests also mention the high safety standards, giving them confidence even during adrenaline-pumping activities.
Some reviewers pointed out the crowding during busier times, which could make the experience feel rushed or chaotic. However, most agree that the activities are well-organized, and timing is efficient. One reviewer enjoyed having photos taken during activities, which they were able to purchase later via WhatsApp — a handy service for capturing memories.
The Value Proposition
At $70 per person, this package offers a solid deal, especially considering the inclusion of high-quality safety equipment, instructor guidance, and transfers. Individual activities could easily cost more if booked separately, and the convenience of a package saves time and planning. Travelers also benefit from the peace of mind that insurance coverage and tax are included.
The short duration—around 2 hours—means this is perfect for a quick day of fun, but if you’re craving extended time or a more relaxed pace, you might find the experience somewhat brisk. Still, for those who want a variety of activities in a single day, it’s hard to beat the value.
