Bali, a tropical island in the Indonesian archipelago, is so picturesque and immaculate it could almost be a painted backdrop. It has rice paddies tripping down hillsides like giant steps, volcanoes soaring up through the clouds, dense tropical jungle, long sandy beaches, warm blue water, crashing surf and friendly people who don’t just have a culture but actually live it. In Bali spirits come out to play in the moonlight, every night is a festival and even a funeral is an opportunity to have a good time.

If there is one thing Bali is known for, are its beaches. Some of their beaches do have waves. And with waves come, yes you guessed it, surfing. If you are a beginner and would totally like to learn how to ride the waves, then Exotissimo’s Surfing Experience is the day trip for you and is ideal for everyone, regardless of age. Surfing is considered by many as being the most fun and challenging Bali activity while you are in Kuta Beach, Bali! As with any beach activities, bring proper gear. Swim wear, suntan lotion, hat and shades are recommended. A change of clothes should also be packed.
That’s right, you’ll head out to Kuta Beach, one of the most famous destinations in the island. It is on the southernmost tip of the island. Once a quiet fishing village, the town was one of the first destinations to openly cater to visitors and tourism. And that’s right; the fist visitors here realized the surfing potential of Kuta. Along with the breaking waves, it is also renowned for its white sandy beaches and ocean floor as well as its waist deep water: the perfect and suitable place to learn surfing.
The experience starts off in the morning around 8 or 9 am, depending on the tide. But before hitting the ocean waters, learn the basics in the pool. It takes about 15-20 minutes.
