About this tour

What to expect
Early pickup from your hotel heads you straight to the Ayung River put-in. After a 20-minute safety drill with your guide, you'll launch into fast-moving sections separated by calmer stretches where the jungle closes in overhead. The paddle lasts roughly two hours. Back on dry land, you'll rinse off in provided shower facilities, then travel into Ubud town for lunch and a guided walk through the monkey forest—watch your belongings around the primates. The afternoon includes time browsing Ubud's central streets and art galleries before returning to your accommodation by evening.
