We arrived at 8:45 AM as instructed to complete paperwork and store our belongings. Although advertised as a private tour, we were required to wait for additional participants, which was not clearly explained on Tripadvisor. We waited until around 9:40 AM before finally heading down to the rafting area. The rafting itself was the highlight and very enjoyable. However, the mid-way stop felt unnecessary, especially with people smoking and overpriced food and drinks. After finishing, we also had to wait about 20 minutes for transportation back, unlike other companies that were ready immediately. Overall, 3 stars. The tour guide was great. High energy and lots of personality.

Na rafting in Nepal vond ik de Ayung River echt uniek. De verborgen watervallen waar je onderdoor peddelt en de rustige stukken tussen de golven waren top. Onze gids Wayan was geweldig en vertelde over de planten. Het enige minpuntje was dat het op sommige momenten best druk was op de rivier, wat de flow een beetje verstoorde. Maar de uitrusting was goed en het was een superleuke, avontuurlijke ochtend!

Après d'autres raftings, celui-ci m'a bluffé par ses cascades cachées et ses rapides excitants. Le guide Wayan était top, très drôle et connaissait bien la faune et la flore. Le matériel était propre et en bon état. Un peu cher, mais l'expérience en vaut la peine. 4/5.

Honestly, the 10-12km paddle flew by! Our guide Ari kept it fun and safe, pointing out cool rock carvings and letting us swim at a waterfall. The buffet lunch with the rice field view was such a nice way to end it. Gear was good, transport smooth. Zero complaints, 100% worth it.

从第一个急流开始就超刺激!导游Made超有趣,边划边讲河岸石雕的故事。自助午餐面对稻田超放松,设施也干净。就是淋浴间人多要排队,但整体体验超值!

Booked the rafting & ATV combo for the thrill. Surya was a fantastic guide! Rafting the Ayung River was epic, and riding the ATV through the Gorilla Cave was unreal. Buffet lunch with the rice terrace view was perfect. Gear was good, felt safe. Totally worth it for the price!

Which river is best for rafting in Bali?

expand_more

The Ayung River near Ubud is the most popular rafting river in Bali — Grade II–III rapids over a ~12 km run through lush jungle gorges and small waterfalls. The current is gentle enough for first-timers and families, while still being fun for groups looking for a little thrill.
