Take a guided 10–12 km white-water run down Bali’s Ayung River from Ubud — approachable Class II–III rapids, jungle cliffs with stone carvings, and a post-run buffet. Ideal for families and first-time rafters seeking scenic thrills.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from a shaded riverbank and the Ayung, wide and confident, immediately pulls at the raft. Jungle cliffs lean over the current; carved stone reliefs peer down like quiet witnesses. For the next stretch you trade the hum of Ubud for the river’s voice — playful surges, sudden ripples, and the steady, green hush of rainforest.
