Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Ubud, built around Ayung River. It is run by Hire Bali Driver, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

White-water rafting near Ubud runs on the Ayung river, about twelve kilometres of class II to III water through a gorge below Payangan, taking around two hours on the water. Telaga Waja in the east is steeper, class III to IV, and used by operators who want more of a run. Both rivers rise sharply after rain, which makes the wet season, November to March, the faster ride and the dry season the calmer one; operators cancel when the river is genuinely too high. There is a walk down steps to the put-in and up again at the end, and everything you take gets wet, so leave phones in the dry bag the operator provides.

The price covers Safety equipment, Lunch and instructor. It does not cover Alcoholic drink, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Ayung Dewata Rafting. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Hire Bali Driver before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Thank you this was a fantastic experience! We walked down to the river ( many steps) and then started the journey down the river in the boat- at one point we floated down the river out of the boat! We stopped for a break and had a coconut drink. Our guide was knowledgeable and we felt safe as he guided us along the route! Highly recommend!!

I really enjoyed the tour, it was a lot of fun! Our guide was amazing and always made jokes. I highly recommend the rafting experience! Just keep in mind that you have to walk a lot of steps to get down to the water.

It’s a really nice experience, although getting down to and climbing up from the river is quite tough. However, it’s definitely worth it! I recommend carrying a waterproof mobile neck pouch so you can easily take photos. We opted for the package with lunch included — the food was average. Both the tour operators and the booking agent were friendly and easily reachable.
