The day begins before most of Ubud has finished its first coffee: a quiet road, a driver, and the river narrowing into a cleft of green. On the bank the Ayung kneels away from the tourist map — clear, cool and quick — and the guide clips the last life jackets into place. For the next two hours the river does the talking: runs of Class II–III rapids that rock the raft, long glides beneath ficus overhangs, and sudden slices of open water where the current brightens and a kingfisher darts to a stone.

Wear grippy water shoes
The raft and waterfall access paths are slippery—closed-toe water shoes or sandals with straps provide traction and protect toes.
Protect electronics
Bring a waterproof case or dry bag; phone cameras are popular but need secure storage when you hit the rapids.
Hydrate and layer
Start with a light, quick-dry top and have a dry change of clothes for after the raft and showers.
Plan for pickup time
Pickup windows are tight—be ready at least 10 minutes before the scheduled pickup to keep the day on track.
Water shoes
Grip and toe protection for raft boarding and slippery waterfall rocks.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after splashes and is comfortable during humidity.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and valuables safe during rapids and waterfall visits.
Sunscreen and hat
