The raft slides into the river with a soft lurch and the forest closes in—green walls of fig and bamboo leaning toward the current as water dares you forward. Early on, the Ayung hums and teases; later it will push and roll over smooth volcanic boulders, delivering a sequence of Class II–III rapids that keep paddles busy and laughter louder.
