The day opens with a humid Balinese morning and the Ayung River already calling—gurgling, eddying, daring you into whitewater. Participants meet at a shuttle point in Ubud and are driven through rice terraces and plantation roads until the jungle tightens and the river’s canyon appears. The rafting section runs roughly two hours with a professional guide, paddling through class II–III rapids, rock-edged bends, and quiet pools where the current nudges the raft forward.

Hydrate before and during the trip
Bring a refillable bottle—operators provide bottled water but staying hydrated before rafting and ATV prevents cramps and fatigue.
Wear secure, closed-toe footwear
ATV tracks and river landings have mud and rocks; athletic shoes or river shoes with straps work best.
Protect electronics in a dry bag
Expect splashes and muddy spray during rafting and ATV; a small dry bag prevents ruined phones or cameras.
Schedule morning departures
Early starts avoid midday heat and often give calmer river conditions and better light for photos.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after rafting and keeps you comfortable during the ATV portion.
