Short, splashy and social: the donut boat at Tanjung Benoa is a 15-minute high-speed inflatable ride pulled by a speedboat. Expect quick bursts of thrills, life jackets, and a front-row seat to Bali’s busy water-sports scene.

The speedboat zips away from the soft sand of Tanjung Benoa and the donut-shaped tube tugs at its tether, spinning riders into choppy laughter as spray cuts the midday light. The experience is short — about 15 minutes — but intense: the inflatable flips and slides across the lagoon, the sea daring riders to hang on as the current and wake push them forward.
