More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Misty palms press close to the riverbank as the first raft nudges into current; the Ayung slices through volcanic rock and jungle with a restless energy that dares you to row. Trees shade long pools, then open to short, punchy rapids where guides call cadence and paddles bite bright water. Along the way small waterfalls drop from fern-slick ledges and limestone walls carry the pale scars of river sculpting.
