What to expect
You'll launch from a river base in the jungle, where guides brief you on paddle technique and safety before entering moderate rapids. The Ayung delivers steady current and scenic rock formations rather than extreme whitewater—expect splashing, not flipping. After disembarking, you'll shower and change, then visit the monkey sanctuary where hundreds of long-tailed macaques roam temple ruins and forest trails. A guided walk shows their social structure and habitat. Halfway through, stop at a coffee farm to taste fresh brews and local teas before returning for a shared buffet lunch.
Good to know
Bring a spare shirt and shorts; water will drench you. Pack sunscreen and reapply after the river. Not suitable for pregnant travellers or those with spinal conditions. Minimum two people per booking. Soft drinks at lunch and riverside rest stops cost extra.
