Early light on Bali turns the jungle a deep green; the Ayung River cuts a silver line through the valley, daring you forward as guides check life vests and toss a welcome drink your way. From a shaded put-in, the raft slides into current—two hours of Class II–III rapids that alternate playful drops with long, scenic floats past carved cliff faces and rainforest canopy.
