About this tour

What to expect
You'll be collected from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle and driven to the Ayung base. After a safety briefing and gear fitting, you'll launch into the river with a professional guide. The 2.5-hour paddle alternates between stretches where you paddle actively and calmer sections where you float and take in the steep jungle banks, occasional waterfalls trickling down rock walls, and bird calls. Rapids pick up intensity during wet season but remain manageable for beginners. After landing, towel off and head to the duplex restaurant perched above the valley for a proper lunch buffet before the drive back to your accommodation.
Good to know
The tour isn't suitable if you have spine injuries, are pregnant, or have heart conditions. All fitness levels manage it fine. Bring water shoes or sandals that won't slip wet. Cameras and photo packages cost extra. Public minibuses run near the base if you prefer your own transport.
