You step off the minivan in Tampaksiring and the river is already speaking — a narrow band of green water threading between rock shelves and rice paddies, daring you to trade solid ground for a drifting circle of inflatable rubber. Guides fit your tube and helmet, give a crisp safety briefing, and lead you down a short trail where the current takes over.
