Bali is an island with various well-maintained rivers. The traditions and myths in Bali play a role in preserving the rivers as one of their life supports. That’s why the rivers in Bali are well-maintained and even used as tubing tourism facilities. For those of you in Bali, you might want to try Tubing Bali, as one of the challenging games and adventures of navigating the swift river currents. We will provide complete information!
What is Tubing?
Tubing is a river sport that utilizes the swift flow of rivers. At first glance, Tubing is similar to whitewater rafting, but the difference lies in the equipment used. Whitewater rafting uses rubber boats with paddles that are ridden by 8 to 12 people or adjusted according to the size of the rubber boat. Meanwhile, tubing is done by riding inner tubes or pool floats shaped like tires.
While whitewater rafting is done together, tubing is only ridden by one person. Both still utilize the river current to propel the boat or inner tube along with the swift river current. Tubing also sometimes uses paddles, but this is quite rare; most tubing is done by riding inner tubes alone. This game is also sometimes referred to as river tubing because it is done in rivers.
Tubing in Bali is a popular river game in Bali. Many local and foreign tourists want to try this game to experience the adventure of navigating the river with its swift currents.
Nevertheless, this game is quite safe even if you have never experienced it before. This is because Tubing Bali uses complete protective equipment such as helmets and life jackets. Besides, you will also be supervised by experienced guides.
