Learn to tame the waves at surf schools

Bali rose to prominence mostly due to its idyllic surfing spots. Decades ago, many tourists from Australia found Bali to be beautiful and peaceful yet has lots of great rolls and surf breaks. That reputation catapulted Bali’s popularity worldwide so it becomes what it is now. You can still find those glorious surf spots.

And if you have never surfed before in your life, worry not, Bali has many surf schools that you can enroll yourself and your family in.
