A quick wind tug, the boat's wake widening into white teeth, and you lift—suspended above a strip of turquoise that seems to push back at the horizon. From the harness the island shrinks into neat strokes: dark reef, pale sand, clusters of umbrellas and scooters threading Kuta's shoreline. The flight itself is brief—about five minutes—but the panorama feels larger than the moment.
