Morning light slices between steep walls of green as an inflatable hull finds the current and the river begins to pull you downstream. On the Ayung River, paddles beat in unison, spray pinpoints the air, and the gorge pushes the group forward across class II–III waves for roughly 2–2.5 hours of on-water action.

Wear closed water shoes
Rocks and wet riverbanks make sandals unreliable—secure water shoes with good grip protect feet on and off the raft.

Secure loose items
Use a small dry bag or waterproof case for phones and wallets — anything lost in the current is likely gone.

Guides manage navigation through rapids; following their timing and commands keeps the group safe and the ride fun.

Reef-safe sunscreen
