Ubud Ayung River Rafting with Meeting Point or Pickup

About this tour

Paddle 12 kilometres down Bali's Ayung River in an eight-hour outing that combines moderate rapids with scenic gorge rafting. Based near Ubud, this Class 2+ run winds past carved cliff faces, cascading water, and emerald rice paddies that slope toward the riverbanks. You'll tackle two hours of active paddling sandwiched between briefings, a leisurely lunch, and time to shower and change. Hotel pickup and return are included, making it accessible whether you're a first-timer or returning paddler.

What to expect

You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to the put-in point, where guides brief you on technique and safety before distributing helmets and paddles. The actual rafting lasts roughly two hours of steady paddling through moderate rapids separated by calmer sections where you can absorb the carved rock walls and jungle-clad gorge. After landing, facilities include hot showers, a changing room, and lockers. Lunch is served on-site before your return drive to Ubud. The pace suits all fitness levels—no extreme whitewater or technical portages.
