About this tour
Pack a full day combining adrenaline and scenery: two hours navigating the Ayung River's rapids through jungle-clad gorges north of Ubud, followed by a drive to Mount Batur where you'll take in views of the crater lake and volcanic cone. The route loops back via Tegalalang's stepped rice paddies, Tegenungan Waterfall, and finishes at Celuk village. A buffet lunch breaks the action midway. Nine to ten hours total from hotel pickup to return.
Highlights
- Two-hour white-water run down Ayung River with professional guides
- Mount Batur crater and lake vistas from Kintamani plateau
- Tegalalang rice terraces—photogenic and working farmland
- Tegenungan Waterfall for landscape shots and cooling off
- Private vehicle and guide throughout; no group mixing
- Buffet lunch at the rafting station included
What to expect
You'll start early from your hotel and head straight to the Ayung River put-in. The rapids are manageable for most fitness levels—think Grade II–III sections rather than heart-stopping drops. Safety gear and a spotter-trained guide keep things in check. After emerging, you'll dry off, shower, and refuel with a hot meal at the riverside restaurant. The afternoon leg is less strenuous: a scenic drive with stops to walk through the sculpted rice fields, snap photos at the waterfall, and browse Celuk's silver workshops before heading home.
