What to expect
You'll meet your guide and kit up with safety gear at the river start. The 2-hour float is steady-paced—you're paddling but not fighting rapids. Your guide points out the landscape and stops at inviting spots to jump in and cool off. Around midway or end, you beach the raft and eat lunch at a local restaurant set back from the water with jungle backdrop. Expect splashing, some paddling technique tips, and plenty of photo moments. Water temperature is warm and refreshing.
Good to know
Bring sunscreen, a camera, and dry clothes. Pregnant travellers and those with spinal injuries should skip this. Small children ride on an adult's lap; infants can go in a pram if you arrange it. Poor cardiovascular health is a concern—check with your guide. Most packages include hotel pickup from Ubud, Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta and nearby towns.
