Rafting Ubud Bali Ayung River — Local services in Pulau Bali

Exciting rafting adventure through the Balinese jungle: The entire tour was organized very well. Our family was picked up directly at our hotel. At the rafting base there were changing rooms and it was possible to store our stuffs in a locker. Everybody got a life jacket, a helmet, and a paddle of course. We wore our wetsuits and aqua shoes for convenience, but you can easily do the tour in casual clothes - but you'll get wet completely in any way. Next we were driven to the starting location, where we had to descend about 10 minutes through the jungle down to the river. Before accessing the boats the guides   gave us some instructions how to act during the tour. The rafting itself is comparatively relaxing - you neither need any experience in rafting nor you have to be very sporty. The guides steered us safely along all obstacles and rapids. There was enough time to enjoy the  awesome beauty of the pure wilderness: we saw some monkeys as well as some lizards. In the middle of the tour, we had a short break, where we could buy some affordable snacks and drinks. After about 2 hours we reached the destination, where we had to ascend back to the waiting vans which brought us back to the rafting base. There, we received free towels and could take a shower. It was possible to buy some photos and videos that were taken during the tour from the riverside. Finally, we were offered a very delicious buffet which was also included in the tour packet. Full and happy we were dropped off at our hotel later on.

One of our best entertainments of all time with a great price performance ratio and...

Book everything via WhatsApp (from the rafting fees per pax and transportation arrangement from airbnb)

Driver arrived very timely to our airbnb to pick us up, friendly and responsible to as we left our belongings inside the car as per suggested by him while we are having our water rafting session (able to save some locker fees so we give him some tips as well for his good hospitality)

There is quite a long pathway from sitting a 4x4 hilux to the destination entrance, holding onto your own paddle and helmet and walk your way downwards to the riverside (mini hiking journey).

We are lucky to be assigned with a highly experienced and skilled instructor named Ahyung (muscular and handsome man with tattoo). The whole water rafting journey is so exciting, full of laughter and surprises which all these are made possible with his passionate and friendly personality. We did give him some tips as well as we recognise his effort in making sure we have a unforgettable journey.

The pictures are capture by their team in different stops during the rafting hence we spend some money purchase it and they send the softcopy to us. Videos are available but we didn't purchase it.

They do serve foods and drinks like a mini buffet style, 3-4 dishes with rice and surprisingly the food is quite good as well! It definitely exceed my initial low expectation haha

Overall it is a very pleasant and fun journey! Totally worth it to give this exciting activity a try and definitely you will be able to create some unforgettable...

We had mixed feelings about our rafting experience with this company. We were told to arrive at 9 AM, which we did. However, the welcome drink we were promised was never offered. Instead, we were rushed into a car with the others and quickly taken to the starting point of the rafting trip.

The ride down the river was beautiful — the surroundings are stunning. The rafts are reliable, and so are the guides. The rafts feel like bumper cars on the river, which can be fun, but for us, the guides’ behavior came across as rather childish. They were constantly splashing everyone and trying to turn it into a competition with the other rafts, which felt a bit immature.

About three-quarters into the trip, we stopped to rest and were offered drinks for purchase. What really didn’t fit the atmosphere was the pushy attempt to sell us beer — at 10:30 in the morning. It felt very out of place, especially considering the type of guests present. Loud party music was also blasting from a speaker at this stop, which clashed completely with the serene beauty of the river surroundings. It was a shame they chose to create such an atmosphere — it didn’t feel like Bali at all.

The rafting itself lasted about an hour. Including breaks, the entire experience took around 1.5 hours. All in all, the setting was incredible and the rafting itself was fun, but several aspects really took away from...
