Combine two classic Bali experiences—two hours of Ayung River rafting followed by Kintamani’s caldera views, Tirta Empul temple and Tegalalang rice terraces—in a private full-day trip from Ubud.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
At first light a private van threads through Ubud’s rice-lined lanes and deposits you at the Ayung River launch, where guides brief the group and inflate rafts beside a narrow white-water channel. Paddles dip, laughter cuts the air, and for the next two hours the river dares you around boulder gardens, through green canyons and under bridges carved with Balinese reliefs.
