Bali White Water Rafting from Ubud

The Ayung is the gentler of the two and the one most people book. It is Bali's longest river, it runs close to Ubud, and the trip is as much about the jungle gorge, the waterfalls and the carved stone walls along the banks as it is about the rapids. It suits families and first-timers.

The Telaga Waja sits in eastern Bali and is the faster, steeper ride. Take it if you want the adrenaline rather than the scenery, and if you do not mind the longer drive to get there.

The rapids are grade II to III, which is the range commercial rafting runs on worldwide. It is genuinely exciting without being technical, and no experience is needed. A certified guide is in every raft, briefs you before you launch, and calls the paddling the whole way down.

If anyone in your group is nervous in water, or you have questions about age, health or mobility, tell us before you book and we will give you a straight answer about which river suits.

Rafting puts your whole group in one inflatable raft with a guide steering and everyone paddling together. It is the social option and the easier one.

Kayaking is smaller and more hands-on. You are much closer to the water and you are steering yourself, which is the appeal if you want more control over the run. We offer kayaking on the same Ayung stretch, so the scenery is the same and only the boat changes.

Safety equipment, a certified river guide, lunch, and free hotel pickup. Changing rooms and showers are available at the finish so you are not driving back to your hotel soaked.

Combo packages include whatever the other activities need as well. If something matters to you and you cannot see it listed, ask before you book.

The river section itself takes up most of a morning or an afternoon once you add the drive in, the briefing, the walk down to the launch point, and cleaning up at the end.

Most of the packages on this page pair rafting with something else, so they run as full days. If you want the river and nothing more, book one of the standalone Ayung or Telaga Waja trips.

Most people do, and the ATV pairing is the popular one. Mud in the morning, river in the afternoon. Rafting also combines well with the rice terrace zipline and jungle swing, Monkey Forest, the holy water temples, a Cretya sunset, and even a Mount Batur sunrise if you want a very long day.

If you would rather spread things across two days than pack them into one, tell us your dates and we will plan it that way.

Completely wet. That is not a risk, it is the activity. Wear swimwear or quick-dry clothes with sandals that strap on, and bring a full change of clothes, a towel, and sunscreen.

Leave anything you cannot get wet at your hotel. Phones and cameras only come on the river in a proper waterproof case with a strap, and even then it is at your own risk.

Book straight from any package page, or message us and we will sort it. Tell us your dates, how many of you there are, and whether you want the calmer river or the fast one, and we will point you at the right trip.
