Expect wet shoes
Closed water shoes or sturdy sandals with straps make moving on slippery riverbanks and in the raft far easier.
Bring a change of clothes
Operators provide showers and towels but pack dry clothes and a quick towel for the ride back to your hotel.
Mind the season
During Bali’s rainy months the river can be much faster—if you have heart or mobility issues consider scheduling in the dry season.
Secure small items
Use the water-resistant bag provided or leave valuables at your hotel; phones and cameras should be in waterproof cases.
Water shoes or grippy sandals
Protect feet on rocks and keep traction while launching and exiting the raft.
Quick-dry clothing
Dries fast after swims and prevents chafing during extended paddling.
Waterproof phone case or small dry bag
Keeps valuables safe during splashes and brief swims.
Biodegradable sunscreen & hat
Protects from sun at river breaks without harming aquatic life.
