Charge downstream on Bali’s Ayung River for a three-hour whitewater run that mixes playful rapids, jungle corridors, and a riverside lunch. The trip pairs easy-to-moderate paddling with cultural stops at Tegalalang Rice Terraces and Ubud’s market.

The raft hits the current with a collective shout — the guide’s paddle cuts the water and the river answers in a staccato of foam. For three hours on Bali’s Ayung River, the island’s humid jungle seems to lean in and watch: palms brushing the riverbank, limestone outcrops punctuating the channel, and carved stone shrines cueing you to the human history threaded through the valley.

Reserve your spot on the Rafting Activity in Bali today and enjoy a trusted, highly rated experience designed to help you make the most of your adventure.
Arrive early for pickup
Book morning departures and expect a hotel pickup window about 60 minutes before your scheduled raft time to avoid Ubud traffic.
Secure electronics
Use a dedicated waterproof case or a small dry bag strapped inside the raft—phones in zip-locks are risky during splashes.
Wear closed-toe water shoes
Riverbanks and transfer walks are rocky and slippery; shoes with drainage and grip prevent slips and blisters.
Hydrate and protect skin
Tropical sun and exertion combine—carry a small water bottle and apply reef-safe sunscreen before launch.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after splashes and keeps you comfortable in tropical humidity.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protect feet on rocky riverbanks and provide traction when entering/exiting the raft.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps valuables dry and allows for hands-free photos during calm stretches.
Reef-safe sunscreen
Protects skin from intense sun without harming local waterways and marine life.
