More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The first oar catch shivers the river into a line of white, and the canyon exhales—mossed volcanic rock walls rise while the Ayung threads between rice terraces and clove trees. Guests board from a near-Ubud launch, then push into a sequence of class II–III rapids that alternate playful drops with calm eddies where the guide points out carved rock faces and jungle orchids.
