This has to be one of the top things to do in Bali with the kids. You can choose between braving the Telaga Waja River on the slopes of the Mount Agung volcano, or the Ayung River, which is near the centre of Ubud. Both are excellent, but Ayung is calmer and less demanding, so ideal for non-swimmers and little ones.
This epic two-hour journey will see you pass an abundance of natural beauty, from rice fields and deep jungle to stunning plantations and stone carvings.
