Take a private, instructor-led run down 12 km of the Ayung River near Ubud. This beginner-friendly white water trip mixes class II–III rapids, waterfalls, and riverside villages with shuttle pickup and post-raft showers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You push off from the riverbank and the raft answers with a soft lurch; sunlight filters through tall riverine trees while the Ayung threads past cliff faces and rice-terraced slopes. The current picks up, water hissing against the hull, and the rhythm of paddle strokes becomes the language of the trip.
