Canyoning is Bali's adrenaline secret: hidden gorges, waterfalls and natural rock slides in the green north. Here's what to expect and how to plan the ride.

What a canyoning trip involves

PartWhat it means
AbseilingLowered on a rope down a waterfall or rock wall
JumpsOptional jumps into deep pools
SlidesNatural rock slides polished by water
HikingShort jungle walks between sections

Trips run with licensed guides and gear (helmet, harness, wetsuit). Fitness needs vary by route — ask the operator which level suits you. Prices vary and are set by the operator.

Planning the ride

Mountain roads to the north are steep and winding. A 155–160 cc scooter (NMAX or PCX) makes the climb easier, especially two-up.
