Misting jungle closes over the river as the raft slips into the first current — palms whip past and the Ayung’s green water pushes you forward. On this half-day run out of Ubud, the river alternates open, boulder-strewn rapids with narrow, cliff-lined channels where small waterfalls spill into clear pools and kingfishers flick at the surface.
