water sports in asia
For those looking for adventure and who have a love of water sports, there are great options all over Asia.
For snorkelling and diving we recommend Raja Ampat, Menjangan, Komodo National Park in Indonesia. Then the Perhentian islands off the east coast of Malaysia, the Similan islands off Thailands west coast, the stunning Andaman islands that belong to India and, of course, the Maldives.
The East Coast of Borneo is fantastic too but unfortunately is under FCDO restrictions as of March 2021.
For surfing, we love Ulutwau on the southern tip of Bali, Arugam Bay on Sri Lanka’s East Coast and again the Maldives.
For those looking to raft our favourite locations are Kitulgala in Sri Lanka, the Padas River in Sabah, Borneo, Rishikesh in northern India and the Ayung river in Bali.
There are of course other great places for water sports in Asia, so don’t hesitate to get in contact with us to ask.
