Float the Ayung River on a guided tubing trip from Ubud: a 1–1.5 hour river run framed by jungle cliffs, rice terraces and village shrines. This half-day tour includes transfers, safety gear and lunch—ideal for travelers seeking an easy, scenic water escape with local context.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a small riverside staging area and the Ayung takes you — a cool ribbon of water threading through steep, forested ravines and rice-terraced slopes. Leaves slap the tube; sunlight spears through the canopy; the current tugs playfully at the edge of your grip.

Bring secure water footwear
Use closed-toe water shoes or sandals with straps — river rocks are slippery and protection keeps toes safe during shallow pulls.
Use a dry pouch for valuables
Keep phones and small cameras in a waterproof pouch; guides typically keep a communal dry box but personal protection is faster.
Time it for the dry season
Visit April–October for lower flows and clearer water; wet-season runs are faster and can be muddier.
Follow guide instructions on reboarding
Guides coordinate group movements downriver—wait for signals when re-entering or exiting to avoid snagging on rocks.
Closed-toe water shoes
