Join a guided white water rafting day on the Ayung River near Ubud. You paddle a scenic stretch of gentle to moderate rapids through rainforest, cliff carvings, and waterfall pockets, with hotel transfer and a riverside lunch included.
After hotel collection you travel to the river base for a safety briefing and kit fitting. Expect around two hours on the water with a guide in the raft, covering about 10 to 12 km of gentle to moderate rapids through green valleys and carved cliff faces.
After the take out you change into dry clothes and enjoy the included buffet lunch before the return transfer. Wear swimwear or quick dry clothing and bring a towel plus dry clothes. Keep phones and valuables in a waterproof case, or leave them secure if you prefer not to take them on the water. Water levels can change with rainfall, and the team may adjust if conditions are unsafe.
The Ayung River runs through Central Bali near Ubud, with steep green banks, stone carvings, and short waterfall sections along the route. It is one of Bali's best known rivers for a half day rafting outing.
You meet via hotel transfer rather than making your own way to a public trailhead. The put in sits within easy reach of many Central Bali hotels via the included transfer.
Guests should be at least 12 years old, comfortable in moving water with a life jacket, and able to sit in a raft and paddle under guidance. A moderate fitness level helps for the paddle and the short walks at the put in and take out.
No prior rafting experience is required. If you have recent injuries, limited swimming confidence, or pregnancy, check suitability before booking.
You get an English speaking guide team, full safety kit, and a clear day plan from collection through lunch and drop off. Hotel transfers and lunch are already in the package so logistics stay simple once you confirm your address.
The focus is a well briefed, beginner friendly river day with practical support so you can enjoy the paddling without organising transfers yourself.
Your driver collects you from your hotel or villa within the service area, usually around 08:00 depending on location. Use the drive to settle in and check you have swimwear, a towel, and a dry change of clothes ready for after the river.
At the river base you meet the guiding team for a clear safety briefing covering paddle calls, raft positions, and what to do if you enter the water. Helmets, life jackets, and paddles are fitted before you walk down to the put-in.
You spend around two hours rafting along roughly 10 to 12 km of the Ayung River. Expect gentle to moderate rapids, rainforest banks, cliff carvings, and short waterfall views as your guide sets the line and calls the paddle strokes.
After the take-out you change into dry clothes and enjoy the included buffet lunch. When the group is ready, the transfer returns you to your hotel, typically wrapping the outing by early afternoon.
Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included for guests staying within the service area. Share your hotel or villa details after booking so the driver can confirm a pick-up time.
If your stay is outside the usual pick-up radius, contact the host before booking to confirm whether a transfer can still be arranged or whether an alternative meeting point applies.
Plan for around 5.5 hours from hotel pick-up to drop-off. That usually includes travel time, kit fitting, the safety briefing, about two hours on the river, lunch, and the return transfer.
Pick-up and drop-off times shift with your hotel location and traffic. Your confirmation will give a clearer window for your stay once the host has your address.
Yes. Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included for guests staying within the usual service area. After booking you should send your hotel or villa name so the driver can set a morning collection time.
If you are staying farther away, ask before you book. Transfers outside the standard radius may need a different arrangement or may not be available on every date.
The minimum age is 12. Younger children cannot join this rafting product even if they are strong swimmers.
Adults booking with a 12+ child should stay close on the day and help them follow the guide's instructions during the briefing and on the water.
No prior rafting experience is required. The guides brief you on paddle commands, seating, and what to do if you leave the raft, then stay with you for the run.
You should still be ready for an active morning. Expect to paddle as a team, get wet, and walk short distances in sandals or water shoes at the start and finish.
Yes. A buffet lunch is included after you finish rafting. It is served at the riverside area once you have changed out of wet kit.
If you have allergies or a strict diet, tell the host when you book. They can advise what is usually available that day and whether you should bring a small supplement snack.
Wear swimwear or quick-dry clothing you do not mind getting wet. Bring a towel, dry clothes for afterwards, waterproof sunscreen, and a bag for wet items.
Secure glasses with a strap if you need them. Leave expensive jewellery at your accommodation if you can. A waterproof phone case is optional if you want photos on the water.
The Ayung stretch used for this tour is generally gentle to moderate and is aimed at beginners and families who meet the age rule. You still need to listen carefully and paddle when asked.
Water levels change with rainfall. On higher days the run can feel more energetic, and the team may adjust timing or cancel if conditions are not safe enough.
Rafting depends on river level and local weather. Heavy rain or unsafe conditions can mean a delay, a route change, or a cancellation for safety.
If the outing cannot run, the host will contact you about the next steps under the booking cancellation terms. Do not assume the day is cancelled just because there is light rain in the morning.
Yes, if you bring a waterproof phone case or camera and keep it clipped or stowed securely. Guides focus on safety first, so photo stops are not guaranteed at every scenic bend.
Optional photo packages are sometimes offered separately and are not included in the tour price. Ask on the day if you want that add-on.
Many guests who are not strong swimmers still enjoy the day because you wear a life jacket and stay in a guided raft. You should still be comfortable around moving water and happy to follow instructions.
If you have very low water confidence, a recent injury, or a medical condition that affects balance or breathing, speak to the host before booking so they can advise honestly.
