Ayung rafting from Ubud: drive time, shuttle, and meeting point
Updated · By the Bali Activity Tours desk in Ubud
Short answer
Ayung River rafting starts in the Ayung canyon near Ubud, about 30 minutes from central Ubud depending on traffic. Add the private shuttle for Rp 400.000 once per booking from Ubud (driver waits), or self-meet free with your own car or an online ride. Exact base pins are sent with confirmation. The ticket is Rp 450.000 per person for two or more, lunch included.
How long it takes to reach Ayung rafting from Ubud, when to book the private shuttle vs self-meet, and how the south-coast drive differs.
Distance from central Ubud
The Ayung canyon sits west of central Ubud in Gianyar. Most hotel pickups take about 30 minutes in light traffic. From Canggu, Seminyak, Kuta, Sanur, Nusa Dua, or Uluwatu, plan about 1–1.5 hours and leave early for the 08:30 slot.
The map on the fare page marks the canyon area. The exact put-in can shift with the day’s water level; we send the pin with your confirmation so Grab or your driver is not guessing.
Private shuttle or self-meet
From Ubud the private shuttle is Rp 400.000 once per booking: a car and experienced driver for your group only, who waits through the run and returns you to the same hotel. From the south coast it is Rp 650.000 once. Self-meet is free on this ticket.
Swings on this desk require the shuttle. Ayung rafting does not — you can arrive yourself if you prefer.
