About this tour

Follow that with lunch overlooking the Tegallalang rice terraces, a tour of a local coffee plantation to see traditional roasting methods, then finish with ninety minutes of traditional Balinese massage to ease sore muscles.

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel and driven north to the Ayung River, where guides kit you out with helmets and life jackets before launching into two hours of moderate-to-challenging paddling. The river cuts through lush valley walls; you'll paddle around bends, dip into pools between rapids, and swim if you fancy it. Once back on dry land, head to a restaurant in Tegallalang for Indonesian lunch with unobstructed views across the stepped rice paddies. Mid-afternoon, visit a working coffee farm to watch beans being roasted the traditional way. Finally, you'll arrive at the spa in Ubud where a therapist will work through your whole body with oil and pressure, focusing on tight shoulders and lower back.
Good to know
Bring a change of clothes and secure shoes for the river. Avoid this if you're pregnant, have spinal issues, or serious heart concerns. Water levels vary seasonally; the best conditions are during dry season (April–October). All safety gear, meals, taxes and transport are included.
