Things to do in Ayung River

Had such a great experience with Bali Tarantula! We did both the ATV ride and Ayung River rafting, and honestly everything was so well arranged from start to finish. The timing, preparation and overall flow were really smooth. We didn’t have to worry about what to do next because everything was clearly organised. The staff were also helpful and made the whole experience feel easy and enjoyable. Both ATV & water rafting route was super fun and surprisingly long with different types of terrain! Definitely worth trying if you’re looking for some adventure in Bali. Would highly recommend Bali Tarantula! 🤍

Before rafting, you'll put on a life vest and helmet. After a short drive, you'll need to climb many stairs, both up and down, to reach the rafting area, so you'll likely be out of breath and sweating. The actual rafting lasts about an hour and a half, with a 30-minute break in the middle where you can buy drinks (NT$120). Afterward, there's lunch, which is decent. I recommend sitting in the front left for the best photos, as you won't be blocked. There will be people taking photos and videos at various spots, and at the end, they'll ask if you want to buy the video and photos for around NT$800, which is quite expensive. I suggest splitting the cost with your rafting companions to make it more affordable. This was my first time rafting, and it wasn't too scary or prone to capsizing; it was genuinely thrilling and fun! I'd definitely want to go again!

⭐️Gemini perfectly summarized my review for easy readability!⭐️ 🚣‍♂️ [Bali Honeymoon] 200% Enjoyment: Traga Waja River Rafting - A Real Review We chose Bali for our honeymoon! As a couple who loves activities, we opted for the more exciting **'Traga Waja River'** and it was the best moment of our trip! 🌿 Into the Avatar Jungle (with Avatar Rafting) From the moment we started with the zipline, our excitement exploded! The weather was fantastic, and the Avatar Rafting instructor was so cheerful that we couldn't stop laughing the entire time we were paddling. The lush jungle and waterfalls truly felt like a scene from a movie. 💡 Foolproof 'What to Wear & Gear' Tips 1. Attire: Definitely 'long-sleeved leggings & a rash guard'! There's a risk of getting scratched by branches, but thanks to these, I didn't get a single scratch. A cap for face protection is also essential. 2. Footwear: Be sure to wear **'sandals with a back strap'**. I personally witnessed foreigners whose flip-flops floated away down the river. 3. Waterproofing: A waterproof pack is included, but bringing your own **waterproof bag (dry bag)** and rolling the opening about three times to seal it will perfectly protect your belongings! 🚿 Honest Review of Facilities & Food While the shower facilities were a bit basic, I was touched by how clean and fragrant the provided towels were. The local buffet after the activity was also incredibly delicious! 🚕 [Important] Transportation: "Company Vehicle is the Answer!" We took a Grab, but this area is where Grabs are hard to find. We were lucky our driver waited for us, but it will be much cheaper and more convenient to pre-book a company vehicle (pickup/drop-off) service. 🎒 Checklist ✅ Change of clothes & underwear (essential after showering!) ✅ Waterproof bag (dry bag) & sunscreen ✅ Sandals with a back strap & a cap Every part of the experience was perfect, and the chemistry with our instructor was the best! If you want to create unforgettable memories in Bali, I highly recommend Traga Waja River rafting ❤️

Thank you so much to Oktova, our wonderful guide! He picked us up at 7:00 a.m., and we started the day with an ATV ride. After that, we stopped at a coffee shop, where we enjoyed nasi goreng, mie goreng, and a coffee tasting experience. Next, we visited the rice terraces, changed into beautiful dresses, and tried the swing. Oktova stayed with us throughout the day and took lots of photos and videos for us, which made the experience even more memorable. We also really enjoyed chatting with him in the car. He taught us some Indonesian words and recommended some great local restaurants. Thanks to Oktova, we had such a fun and memorable day in Bali. Thank you so much for making our trip even more special!

The driver picked us up exactly on time. It was great that we only had to walk down stairs for about 7-8 minutes to reach the rafting starting point, and then we could immediately transfer to a truck at the end point. The guides were cheerful and fun, and thanks to them, we laughed a lot during the rafting. Individual lockers were provided, which made storing our belongings convenient. For lunch, we had fried rice, noodles, three side dishes, and chicken soup, which was decent. The showers weren't bad, and it was nice that large towels were provided.

Unforgettable Bali Adventure Day This was hands-down the highlight of our trip to Bali! We booked the combo package for the ATV ride, river rafting, and the jungle swing (which came with a complimentary fancy dress) ATV Ride: Thrilling, muddy, and super fun! The tracks take you through incredible natural landscapes and tunnels. River Rafting: The river scenery was stunning, the water was refreshing, and the raft guides (Johnny Walker) kept us safe while making the whole experience hilarious and energetic. Jungle Swing: The staff made sure we were totally secure, and the views over the valley were breathtaking. Special shoutout to our tour guide and driver, Kadek! Kadek was an absolute gem—punctual, super friendly, and an incredibly smooth driver. He kept us on schedule without ever making us feel rushed and made sure we felt comfortable from pickup to drop-off. If you're thinking about booking this, do it! Ask for Kadek if you can—he made a great day truly unforgettable!

We had the most amazing time water rafting Ayung River and visiting the waterfalls with our driver Purna who was so patient and accommodating to our needs. He never said no to our requests even if it was for coffee or having lunch that was not on the itinerary. He never asked for anything in return and he was genuinely willing to show us and make us feel how Balinese people are. Thank you Purna and for everything you did for us! We really really enjoyed our tour with you!!!! Highly recommended to anybody looking for a good tour guide in Bali! And also a good bonus he is a very good photographer and videographer! 🫶🏼♥️

We had a great time rafting and riding the ATV today! Our driver was very friendly, and everything was well organized and went smoothly. I especially recommend the rafting. The scenery along the Ayung River was beautiful, and our rafting guide was very energetic and made the whole experience so much fun. Highly recommended!

After checking out of the Bali Beach Hotel, we took an 8-hour guided car tour to experience Sobek Ayung River Rafting. Our reservation was for 1:30 PM, and we naturally assumed we would go directly to the starting point. However, we first went to the endpoint, and then, with our rafting guide, proceeded to the starting point. We were a bit surprised at first, but the clear instructions helped us proceed without any issues. Best of all, we were the only family booked for 1:30 PM, so my two sons, aged 9 and 13, and I (their mother) had a boat all to ourselves, allowing us to enjoy the experience at our leisure. We had a truly wonderful time admiring the beautiful scenery of the Ayung River. Our veteran guide led us safely and expertly, so we felt completely at ease enjoying the rafting with our children. The shower facilities after rafting were clean, and the meal was delicious. We made truly great memories with my 9-year-old and 13-year-old children. Thank you to Sobek and our guide for providing us with such a safe and enjoyable rafting experience!
