Most visitors on holiday in Kuta come for pure leisure and pleasure, drawn by Bali's laid-back atmosphere and the stretch of sandy beach, which at Kuta is somewhat dangerous for swimming because of an extremely strong undertow. However, the area is renowned for its surfing, the several-mile long beach break between Kuta and Petitenget offering a range of waves, and there are a number of surfing schools for beginners. Scuba diving and game fishing excursions are also sought-after and freely available. Kuta also offers bungy jumping on the beach, and boasts a beautifully landscaped waterpark full of thrilling rides and slides. Horse-riding along the beach at sunset is a popular pastime.Most hotels and resorts in and around Kuta encompass spas, which offer massages and beauty treatments. The larger hotels usually also offer a variety of sports facilities which can be used by non-residents. Day cruises to off-coast islands are also available. Some other holiday activities offered by private operators include paragliding, submarine tours, whitewater rafting, paintball war games and guided bird-watching expeditions.
