Combine an adrenaline-fueled Ayung River rafting run with a cultural walk through Ubud Palace and a cooling visit to Tegenungan Waterfall. This six-hour private day trip mixes Class II–III rapids, market browsing, and a short waterfall hike — all within an hour’s drive of central Ubud.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The day begins with a pre-dawn pickup and a straight road into Bali’s green pulse — a one-hour drive that descends toward the Ayung River gorge. The river dares you from beneath a canopy of palms and teak; instructors fit life vests, hand you paddles, and the rubber boat takes four to six people downstream through a sequence of rapids and calm pools.

Morning pickup beats the heat
Start early—river levels and crowds are better in the morning and you'll avoid midday sun and the chance of afternoon tropical downpours.
Wear secure water shoes
Choose footwear with a grippy sole that stays on during paddling and handles wet, rocky paths at the waterfall.
Bring a small dry bag
Protect phone, cash, and cameras—operators provide storage but a personal dry bag keeps valuables secure during the run.
Know medical limits
This trip requires moderate-to-high fitness; it’s not advised for pregnant travelers or those with recent spinal or serious heart conditions.
Water shoes or secure sandals
Keeps grip on wet rocks and inside the raft during paddling.
Quick-dry swimwear and clothing
Dries rapidly after the river run and is comfortable under a life vest.
Small dry bag or waterproof phone case
Protects electronics, wallet, and documents from splashes and rain.
Lightweight rain shell or poncho
Useful during the wet season for transfers and brief downpours.
