Typical inclusions are private round-trip transport from Ubud, safety gear (helmet, life jacket), a professional rafting guide, and a set-menu Indonesian lunch.
Restrictions vary by operator—many accept children from around 7 with adult supervision; people with serious heart or spinal conditions and pregnant travelers should not participate.

The Ayung River has long supported irrigation and local villages in central Bali; the banks pass traditional stone carvings and small shrines tied to Balinese water culture.
