Tours / Rafting · Ayung River, Ubud
Ayung River whitewater rafting
A guided Class II–III run through the Ayung canyon with lunch, helmet, life jacket, and insurance. Rp 450.000 per person for two or more guests. Pickup is extra.
The Ayung canyon near Ubud is a Class II–III paddle: jungle walls, waterfalls, carved stone panels on the riverbank, and a handful of splashy drops. It suits first-timers. A crew guide steers every raft, and you paddle on command. This is a raft with a team, not a sit-on tube.
The list rate is Rp 500.000 per person; with two or more guests it is Rp 450.000 each. A raft needs at least two people, so a solo seat is not sold. Lunch after the run, helmet, life jacket, English-speaking guide, and insurance for ages 6–65 are included. Our private shuttle is Rp 400.000 from Ubud or Rp 650.000 from the south coast, once per booking, or you meet at the river base.
Departures are usually 08:30, 11:00, and 12:00. The last rafting booking is the 12:00 departure — there is no afternoon rafting departure. Morning water is often clearer; the 11:00 or 12:00 slot is easiest after an ATV ride because the Sedang arena is only about 15 minutes from the Ayung base.
