A low rumble in the valley tells you the river is alive before you see it — water carving a route through volcanic rock, palms leaning to watch. On this Ubud-area rafting run, guides clip life jackets, give a quick paddle lesson, and the group pushes off into a sequence of rapids that alternate between playful surges and wide, reflective pools.
