More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Steam hangs above the river as the driver drops you at the Ayung’s carved rock lip and guides hand out life jackets. Paddles catch bright water; the raft surges forward, currents nudging you around boulders and under jungle canopies. Over 7.4 miles (12 km) of river, Class II–III rapids swap steady stretches for playful chutes—enough adrenaline to feel earned but not extreme.
