Get ready to push out of your comfort zone and discover the true meaning of having fun.
5GX Bali
This ride is one hell of an adrenaline booster! You will be seated and locked inside a metal ball before catapulted high up into the air, slicing through the sky, bouncing and spinning wildly for a few minutes. The machine fires you 60 meters’ vertical at ludicrous speeds in just over 2 seconds, reaching up to 5G force. You will feel the wildest of excitement while being hurled in the air up and down.
A few pointers you need to keep in mind is that do not take the ride on an empty stomach as it might make you nauseous. Also do not have a heavy meal since you might end throwing up. Please bear in mind that you will be tumbled up and down, and therefore either pregnant women, heart patients or those with blood pressure issues are not allowed to take this ride. This is an extreme form of adventure sport, and utmost care needs to be taken. Last but not least, make sure to scream out loud as you will be recorded in a GoPro video.
Alas Harum Bali

Bali Paragliding
Contrary to what many would believe, paragliding is an activity that is suitable for everyone, from children and the elderly to people with functional diversity. If you have never flown a paraglider before and want to try it out, the easiest way is to do a tandem flight. However, as this sport requires a high level of technical knowledge and important practical training, the best option is to be accompanied by an expert pilot.
The tandem paraglider is designed to carry the weight of two people, the pilot and the passenger, without the need for the passenger to have any prior knowledge. As mentioned before, there are no age or physical limitations and it is only necessary that the person has a minimum health condition (no heart diseases or scared of heights, for example). Minors must have a minimum weight and have the authorization of their parents.
Canyoning Bali
Cliff jumping is among one of our all-time favourite activities in Bali. Cliff jumping goes from scary to exciting in a second flat and allows you to soar in the air just before you bury yourself in water. There are so many jumping spots on this island. However, we need to be wise in choosing the safest spot.
Canyoning Bali combines cliff jumping with hiking and swimming into one epic adventure. These activities, also known as canyoning, range from a fun and interesting way to embrace nature to an extreme sport. Where you fall on the spectrum of difficulty is entirely up to you. It is no secret that Wildthentic loves outdoor activities but they don’t necessarily have to be demanding or require Olympic training. You can spend the day descending rigorous gorges or discovering leisurely paths with occasional difficulties along the way. They are even compatible with younger children.
Canyoning will change your perspective and way of thinking because we are usually focused on going up or moving forward, never climbing down. Canyoning, especially cliff jumping, require psychological preparedness. These activities teach you how to be mentally aware and focused while in nature, where anything can happen. Canyoning is a full experience of the senses and engages your entire body, including the mind.
G Swing
In the heart of Canggu, Bali, G Swing stands as Indonesia’s largest swing, promising an unforgettable adventure for thrill-seekers. Towering at 40 meters, this exhilarating attraction offers breathtaking views of Bali’s lush landscapes, creating the perfect backdrop for a heart-pounding experience. As you ascend into the sky, anticipation builds. The moment of release is pure magic—suspended between earth and sky, you feel the rush of adrenaline surge through your veins. The wind whips past you, and for that fleeting moment, all your worries fade away, replaced by an exhilarating sense of freedom.
G Swing is more than just an attraction; it’s a celebration of daring moments and personal triumphs. Whether you’re an experienced adventurer or a curious traveler, this iconic swing invites you to confront your fears and embrace the joy of pushing your limits. So, gather your courage, take a deep breath, and let the G Swing propel you into an unforgettable journey. It’s a thrilling experience that will leave you breathless and craving more adventures. Don’t just visit Bali—dare to fly high and make memories that will last a lifetime!
Go-Kart Bali
Go speed up on the smooth asphalt track, keep your feet on the pedal in long clearing turns and feel the G-drive as you attempt to the hustling line while flying around twists at top speed! Petrolheads and adrenaline junkies are very familiar with Go-Kart.
To be able to drive this 4-stroke, single-cylinder engine of a mild plastic-body kart, you must be at least 10 years old and 140 centimetres tall to race at full speed. For younger or shorter kids, ask the crew to reduce the maximum speed. Helmets are mandatory during the race and available at no charge, as well as driving gloves and jacket. For those who have never go-karted before, this can be a bit scary experience, but well-assured this will also be both fun and easy.
Graha Adventure Rafting
Beautiful scenery and relaxing vibes, floating down a river is always a fun activity to do. Now, can you imagine hours upon hours rafting?
