We had a great time here on New Year's Eve before catching our flight back home, blessed with sunny weather and clear skies. We had cable skied before but needed a refresher - there was a separate system just for this purpose - before joining the main cable. We got the day pass to the cable park but in hindsight 2 hours would have sufficed given that we were exhausted by then and you can simply linger on the premises for free, having a drink or watching the other wakeboarders. It was not crowded at all and there were enough benches and tables to go around. There is a pleasant enough infinity pool which offers a great view of the main park. A great place to be as entry to the park is free and you can come with friends even if they do not want to cable ski; they can just chill out in (or by) the pool.
The food is not great but at least not priced to rip off given that there are not many other options for lunch in the vicinity (or at all). Very much appreciated. Nothing unexpected given that is not the point of this place.
Our GoJek driver was very excited when he took us here in the morning and asked if we wanted him to take us to the airport in the evening for Rp 500,000. We said no and booked our GoJek to the airport (around 4.30pm) for Rp 120,000. It takes about 15-30 minutes to the airport depending on the traffic. There are also lockers and showers available, which makes this the perfect place to hang out if you are looking for something to do before catching an...
Read moreFacility is good but staff and manager attitude were disappointing. The beginner area is supposed to be manned but when the hour came for the slow main line, everyone gets channeled to the main line.. and obviously beginners fell at the first corner. Then the buggy that's supposed to go round and round to do the ferrying, parked themselves at the last corner. So beginners like my 2 sons has to walk back in the hot sun on hot tarmac/gravel. When questioned, the woman managed said the "rule" is that people must "progress" and the beginner station will close when the hour for slow speed is on regardless of customers want to practice or not. I asked where are the rules written and she said not everything is written. And she said the rule is buggy will park at the last corner because that's where people fall but clearly the buggy was waiting and waiting and picked up no one. I am all for chill.. but this has crossed the line of "chill"... so if you are a semi-pro in wakeboarding this is the place for you. If you are a beginner, perhaps you should keep your money. Clearly the manager and them are not really working for your money.
Also, the chance of getting cut by rocks are almost 100%.

Read moreWe were looking to try wakeboarding and could only find this close to the area where we were staying. Ticketing entrance fee is required, and for the price and time, I think it's rather worth it. There are fast and slow cable pull timings, so beginners are advised to get the slow timings. We came in the morning so the crowd levels were very low and the weather was nice.
Beginners are encouraged to try the knee boards first, followed by the wake boards just to get used to the obstacles. Having to go through the red bouy markers was quite fun already. But for advanced wake boarders, the obstacle courses seem quite fun.
My hands & biceps really hurt after a while because I have a bad grip and no upper body strength, but boy, was it fun!
There is a cafe and a souvenir shop here as well. The cafe serves some nibbles and coffee at 40K for ice latte. Would recommend getting your coffee fixed elsewhere, though.
Saw someone got injured, right before our very eyes, and I'm comforted by how swiftly the crew acted. Apparently, the boarder landed incorrectly and hurt himself. His friend called for help and a troop of at least 6 workers came running to him with first aid kits and a water stretcher, each doing what they can to assist with the situation 😊 Hope...
