About this tour
Paddle the Ayung River, Bali's longest waterway, on a half-day white water adventure just outside Ubud. This 6–7 hour outing takes you through class II–III rapids (potentially IV in wet season) with a qualified guide steering you past river cliffs, rice paddies and jungle. You'll swim in clear pools, spot hidden waterfalls and navigate genuine rapids without needing prior experience—just bring clothes happy to get soaked.

What to expect
You'll start at a riverside base where guides fit you with life jacket, helmet and paddle, then run through basic technique before launching onto moving water. Expect 2 hours of active paddling split across several rapid sections interspersed with calmer stretches where you can swim, cool off and absorb the landscape. The river's mood shifts with rainfall—dry season feels manageable, wet season demands more muscle. Between paddles you'll beach, grab lunch and change into dry clothes. Finish with a shower and debrief at the base.
