Kuta’s kayak and canoe scene offers solid options for both adventurers and beginners. The standout choice is Bali Trekking Tour’s jungle paddle through Tamblingan Forest – it’s well-organized, includes lunch, and the guides really know their stuff.
I love how they handle all the transport details, letting you focus on the experience.
For calmer waters, the Stand Up Paddle Boarding tour at Rip Curl School of Surf gets my vote. It’s perfectly paced and shows off Kuta’s quieter side.
First-timers should consider their 60-minute private lessons – the one-on-one attention means you’ll be standing and paddling confidently in no time.
