Enjoy a scenic white water rafting adventure on the Ayung River in Ubud — 12 km of exciting Grade 2–3 rapids surrounded by tropical jungle, hidden waterfalls, dramatic canyon walls and traditional stone carvings. Creating unforgettable memories for your Holiday in Bali
TRIP OVERVIEW
Looking for the best rafting in Bali? Ayung River Rafting, also known as Ubud Rafting, is one of the most popular rafting adventures in Bali — and it’s easy to see why. Located in Kedewatan, Ubud, the Ayung River takes you on a scenic 12-kilometer journey with fun, beginner-friendly Grade II–III rapids that the whole family can enjoy, from kids as young as 6 to adults up to 65.
For around 2 hours on the river, you’ll paddle with our experienced local guides through a beautiful side of Ubud that most visitors never get to see. Along the way, you’ll pass lush tropical jungle, dramatic river cliffs, hidden waterfalls, and traditional stone carvings. There’s also a fun riverside waterslide that kids especially love — and usually brings plenty of laughter along the way.
This isn’t just a rafting trip. It’s a chance to discover a different side of Ubud — its jungle, river valley, waterfalls, and hidden corners that you simply can’t experience from the road. Whether you’re planning a family holiday, or a fun day out with friends, Ayung River Rafting offers a great mix of fun adventure and beautiful scenery, all just a short drive from central Ubud.
