About this tour
Navigate the Ayung River's whitewater course through Ubud's lush landscape on a six-hour rafting expedition. You'll tackle a series of moderate rapids carved through dense riverside vegetation, paddling through narrow gorges and past rocky outcrops that define this northern Ubud waterway. The journey combines technical paddling with scenic payoffs—steep banks frame the route as you work downstream, stopping midway for a buffet meal before heading back out.

What to expect
You'll meet your guide early, collect your life jacket and helmet, then drive to the put-in point. Expect 2–3 hours of active paddling in a small group raft, reading the water and timing your strokes through legitimate technical sections. The river moves steadily rather than aggressively—you're working, not fighting for survival. Midway through, you'll beach the raft and eat lunch onshore. The return leg follows similar terrain. Bring a change of clothes; you will get wet.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal injuries, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. Photography services cost extra. The six-hour window includes transport, briefing and lunch—actual time on water is roughly three to four hours. Water levels vary seasonally; confirm conditions when booking.
