Full description

This is a 3-hour experience from Ubud, built around NUKUWERA & PANDAWA. It is run by Best Ubud 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.

Walking around Ubud means the river gorges and the terraces. The Campuhan ridge is the easy one, two kilometres on a paved path. The hidden canyon at Beji Guwang, in Sukawati, is a river walk through a narrow sandstone gorge with a guide, waist-deep in places, closed after heavy rain. Longer treks head into the hills above Sidemen or Munduk or up Batur and Agung before dawn. Mornings are the time for all of it: by 11:00 the humidity is heavy, and wet-season afternoons, November to March, bring rain from about two o'clock. Carry a litre of water per person and shoes with grip.

The price covers Private hotel transfer, Cave river tubing experience, Tubing equipment, Safety gear and local guide. It does not cover Personal expenses and Tips / gratuities, 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.

Hotel pickup in Ubud. Best Ubud Driver confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Best Ubud Driver before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had a great time tubing today! Our driver, Karma, was fantastic – he arrived early and was super helpful, which made everything easy from the start. The tubing itself was great fun. It’s a fairly short activity (around 45 minutes to 1 hour), but it’s perfect if you’re looking to fill a bit of time with something enjoyable. Lunch was included and was tasty, with a choice of fried rice or fried noodles, plus water or iced tea. Overall, it was a fun and worthwhile experience. I’d definitely recommend it if you’re looking for a short, enjoyable activity

Es war wirklich ein tolles Erlebnis. Das einzige was schade war, es war so schnell vorbei... tolle Anlage, nettes Personal. Putu war für unseres kleinsten Mitglied,6 Jahre alt, ein richtiges Erlebnis, da er sich sehr viel Unfug gemacht hat mit ihr. Tolle Guides!

Our guide Krisna made the whole experience incredibly fun and all of the river tubing crew were hilarious! I believe there is no other rafting companies that offer this many caves to go through either. The cafe at the end had incredible food and views! We sat here for almost 2 hours happily in awe. Well worth the money 👌
