The experience
The Ubud Rafting Experience on Ayung River
The Ayung River stretches over 68 km from the Mount Batur area to the south coast. Your route covers 12 km of it — the most scenic stretch, threading through tropical rainforest, past hidden waterfalls, and beneath dramatic canyon walls carved with traditional Balinese stone reliefs.
Along the way you’ll paddle through 30+ Class II–III rapids — energetic enough to feel like a real adventure, gentle enough that first-timers, families, and kids from age 6 raft it comfortably every day.
Whether you’re searching for river rafting in Ubud, white water rafting in Ubud, or simply the best rafting in Ubud, the Ayung River route consistently ranks as the top choice for its balance of adventure and accessibility.
💡 Local tip: The Ayung River runs fullest during and just after rainy season (November–March), giving the most exciting rapids. Prefer calmer water? June–September offers gentler, more relaxed rafting — better for young kids or first-timers trying white water rafting in Ubud for the first time.
