More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The raft rocks as your guide counts down; the Ayung River narrows, trees closing in as currents dare you forward. Spray cools your face and the jungle looms — palms, mossed rock faces and steep riverbanks slicing through Bali’s uplands. For two hours you work with your crew: paddle, brace, laugh, and read the river as eddies push and pull the boat.

Morning departures beat the heat
