Ultimate Guide for First-Time Adventurers in Bali
1. Know What Kind of Adventure Suits You
Before booking, ask yourself: What kind of adventure excites me?
- Bali offers a wide range of experiences for every comfort level:
- Mild Adventure: Scenic rafting, rice terrace trekking, waterfall walks
- Moderate Adventure: ATV rides, jungle cycling, river tubing
- High-Adrenaline: Telaga Waja rafting, sunrise volcano trekking, cliff jumps
If you're new to outdoor travel, start with guided, moderate-level adventures like Ayung River rafting or quad biking in Ubud. These are beginner-friendly and safe.
Tip: Read reviews and check for beginner options or adjustable difficulty levels.
2. Choose the Right Season
Bali has two seasons:
- Dry Season (April–October): Ideal for outdoor activities with clear skies and firm terrain.
- Wet Season (November–March): Rivers are stronger (great for experienced rafters), but trails can be slippery.
For first-timers, the dry season (especially June to September) is best.
3. Don’t Overload Your Itinerary
Avoid cramming activities. Adventures take energy, and unexpected delays can happen. Aim for 1–2 activities per day.
Sample Half-Day Plan:
- Morning: Ayung River Rafting
- Midday: Lunch + Relax
- Afternoon: Optional ATV ride or swing experience
Infinity Bali Adventure offers well-timed combo packages for a stress-free experience.
4. Pack the Right Gear (and Leave Some Behind)
Must-Haves:
- Quick-dry t-shirt & shorts
- Closed-toe shoes or trekking sandals
- Extra clothes
- Sunscreen & mosquito repellent
- Waterproof phone pouch or dry bag
- Refillable water bottle
- Leave Behind:
- Jewelry
- Unprotected electronics
- Flip-flops
No gear? No problem. Infinity Bali Adventure provides helmets, jackets, boots, and lockers.
5. Safety First—Always
Choose a provider based on:
- Certified and experienced guides
- Safety briefings
- Well-maintained equipment
- Emergency readiness
Infinity Bali Adventure prioritizes safety, with trained guides, clean gear, and included insurance.
6. Don’t Skip the Warm-Up (or the Cool-Down)
Stretch before and after activities to prevent soreness. Hydrate and enjoy a good meal post-adventure.
Bonus Tip: A Balinese massage is great for muscle recovery.
7. Respect the Environment and Local Culture
Adventure is also about connection. Respect Bali's sacred rivers, local customs, and nature:
- Take your trash with you

- Don’t disturb plants or animals
- Follow guide instructions
