WHITEWATER RAFTING
with Bali Adventure Tours
People holidaying in Bali are always asking me, “What else is fun to do here?” The one thing I always recommend is to go whitewater rafting through Bali’s interior. Up on the Ayung river, Bali’s longest river in Kedewatan just outside of Ubud, you are far away from the traffic and mass development that sprawls over much of southern Bali. The air is noticeably fresher and the climate is naturally cooler with the higher elevation. You don’t need any experience at all to go rafting and there are easy and more challenging rafting routes depending on what you are up to. The hardest routes are definitely not too hard at all for a first time rafter and are a nice rush as you charge down rocky rapids and water chutes surrounded by raw Bali flora and fauna towards the buffet lunch at the end of the ride. Bali Adventure Tours pioneered Bali rafting in 1989 and run a professional operation to this day. They have been copied by countless others yet have never been improved on or topped. They offer free transport with their rafting package and if you organize a morning rafting and then an afternoon walking around Ubud, dinner and a ride back, well that’s a perfect day off from the beach for anyone.
