More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You start before the heat builds, engine rumbling as the jungle leans in: palms, bamboo stands and the humid scent of earth. The Gorilla ATV trail pushes you through narrow tunnels of vegetation and sudden clearings where rice terraces slip toward the valley. Later the Ayung River takes over, water tugging at the raft as it negotiates sculpted limestone banks and pulse-quickening Class II–III rapids.

Start early
Morning departures beat the heat and afternoon showers common in Bali’s wet season; cooler trails and clearer river conditions make for better photos and safer running.
Wear quick-dry clothing
You’ll switch from dusty trails to splashing rapids—synthetic layers dry faster and reduce chafing when wet.
Secure loose items
Sunglasses, phones and hats can disappear on rapids or on fast turns—use straps or a waterproof case.
Check health restrictions
Not recommended for pregnant travelers or people with serious heart or spinal conditions; operators typically list clear fitness and weight limits.
Sturdy closed-toe shoes
Protects feet on ATVs and during river entry/exit; sandals are not suitable.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after rafting and reduces chafing during long rides.
Waterproof phone case or dry bag
Keeps electronics and documents dry on the river and during sudden downpours.
Light rain shell
Useful during the wet season for post-ride comfort and sudden tropical showers.
