Bali activities
Posted by pamela hayes on Tuesday, June 02, 2009
Bali offers travellers of all ages a wide variety of leisure activities to enjoy - regardless of your interests and budget. Whether you want to throw yourself from high altitudes, hurtle down frothing rapids, explore the wonders of the deep or just lie back and take it easy, Bali is the place. Being an island, the beach is a major factor in any holiday. Bali offers every possible water activity, including surfing some of the best waves in the world, swimming with dolphins, cruises, snorkelling, diving, sailing, bungee jumping and paragliding. Non-beach related outdoor activities include river rafting, mountain cycling, observing local artisans create their arts and crafts, and visiting museums and zoos. Large swathes of Bali's countryside are accessible to visitors in the form of National Parks. Waterfalls with spectacular drops as high as 100m, and often pools suitable for swimming at the bottom can be found all over Bali.

The culture of Bali is unique. People say that the Balinese people have reached self-content. The Balinese people are proud of having preserved their unique Hindu culture against the advance of Islam, the dominant religion throughout Indonesia. This is still reflected in days to day life and can be seen in the numerous ceremonies, Balinese festivals and magnificent temples and palaces. The Balinese are skilled artisans, particularly in woodcarving and in fashioning objects of tortoiseshell and of gold, silver and other metals. The Balinese are noted for their traditional dance, the distinctive music of the gamelan and for their skills in weaving cloth of gold and silver threads, Songket, as well as for embroidering silk and cotton clothing. Stone and woodcarvings, traditional and modern paintings and intricately designed jewelry in gold and silver are readily available in shops and galleries throughout the island.
