More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first paddle pulls you through a corridor of limestone walls and jungle where the Ayung River narrows and the current begins to speak. Water slaps the raft, guides shout commands, and the valley’s green slopes push the landscape forward like a living map.

Prepare for stairs
There are roughly 400 steps down to the launch and 250 back up—bring good slip-resistant shoes and budget extra energy for the climb.
Respect river conditions
Water levels change quickly in the monsoon—if guides advise reduced activity or cancellations, follow their instructions for safety.
Secure belongings
Use a small dry bag or leave valuables at your hotel; pockets don’t stay dry during rapids and swims.
Eat and hydrate after
Buffet lunch follows the trip—rehydrate first and choose salty carbs to restore electrolytes after paddling and stairs.
Closed-toe water shoes
Protect feet on slippery steps and rocks and keep them secure in the raft.
Quick-dry clothing and swimwear
Dries fast after swims and keeps you comfortable on the river and at lunch.
Small dry bag or waterproof pouch
Keeps phone, small wallet and sunscreen dry if you must bring them on the raft.
Reef-safe sunscreen and a hat
Tropical sun is strong even with intermittent shade—protect skin before and after the run.
