A video from the picturesque cliff on Nusa Penida is going viral on Indonesian social media now. It features Niluh Djelantik, a well-known activist and senator from Bali province among Russian-speaking expats, approaching the edge of a cliff and trying to break metal beams. She then takes hold of a heavy post and makes repeated attempts. The woman did not succeed in her plan, which made her even more frustrated…
Many thrill-seekers immediately recognized the location. The footage was shot at Extreme Park Bali, where until recently you could jump with a rope from a 130-meter cliff. The cost of a jump was 2.7 million rupiahs for cash payment and 3 million rupiahs by card. The attraction was launched more than a year ago.
However, the check arrived at the park only now. And, apparently, after visiting the scandalous lift construction site at Kelingking Beach, which is a kilometer away from Extreme Park Bali. The mood of the commission members was accordingly.
The inspection was led by the head of the TRAP commission I Made Suparta and the Chief of Public Order Agency of Bali Province Dewa Dharmadi.
Suparta stated that the facility would be temporarily closed as the owners lack several necessary permits.
"Many documents are missing. According to regional land use regulations (Perda RTRW), the minimum distance should be 100 meters. Therefore, activities are suspended until the owner can present all permits – only then can the possibility of reopening be considered," stated Suparta.
He also noted that Extreme Park Bali is located right at the cliff's edge, which poses a danger to visitors' lives.
"Who will take responsibility if an accident happens? It's clear that the cliff is unstable, it already has many cracks, so we continue to assess its condition and safety," explained the head of the commission.
"The facility is closed until they can provide official documents. If it turns out in the future that there have been violations, the permit may be revoked," emphasized Suparta.
Niluh Djelantik also posted a video of the park's closure on her Instagram. She claims to have discovered large cracks in the load-bearing walls of the rope jumping platform and some elements of the construction supposedly in emergency condition. According to her, such structures are absolutely unacceptable for use, especially for extreme entertainment requiring international safety standards.
"How did they even dare to provide such appalling conditions and sell tickets for millions of rupiahs? Imagine if this cracked wall collapses? It could cost someone their life!" exclaimed Niluh.
She also urged the police, especially the Klungkung and Nusa Penida police departments, to take immediate action:
"I urge the police to remove the metal structures from the cracked walls. It's extremely dangerous if left. Don't wait for people to die before you start scrambling," she said firmly.
Operations at Extreme Park Bali are currently suspended pending an official approval letter from local authorities. The team expects to resume activities once the necessary documentation is finalized and permission is granted.
According to the inspection results from Jakarta — originally focused on the well-known glass lift — several missing documents were identified, including the environmental certificate. It later turned out that the park’s legal advisors had been misinformed about the documentation level required to operate such a facility.
BaliLive reminds entrepreneurs interested in launching projects in Indonesia that proper legal preparation and a thorough document review by the experts at Legal Indonesia can help avoid compliance issues and unexpected business interruptions in the future.
