Rafting on the Ayung river
Rafting trips are a wonderful way to see some of the wilder parts of Bali. Discover hidden waterfalls and enjoy the view of scenic rice paddies and stunning gorges. Swim in the pristine water and feel the thrills of the paradise river.
Central Bali is scoured by rivers, which are fed directly by both rainfall in the central highlands of Bali and by springs from the hillsides. Sungai Ayung is not only the most holy river of Bali but also the longest and most popular for white-water rafting on the island. Hence, most operators are located near Ubud where there are between 19 and 27 class II and III rapids. The best time for rafting in Bali is from October to March when the rivers are most swelled.
Sungai (river) Telagawaja near Muncan is also popular. It is more rugged than the Ayung and the scenery is more wild.
Rafting in Bali means fun for the entire family. Dress to get wet !
