This Ayung River water rafting adventure isn’t just about the rapids — instead, it’s a journey through some of Bali’s most beautiful hidden corners. As you glide downstream, your raft will take you past steep jungle walls, soft waterfalls, and stone carvings tucked into the cliffs.

Along The Way, Keep An Eye Out For:

  • Intricately carved rock panels that tell stories from Balinese mythology.
  • Water that gently splashes down from small, shady waterfalls.
  • Dense tropical greenery, with the occasional rice terrace suddenly revealing itself through the trees.

Because of this immersive scenery, locals call it “jungle rafting” — calm, scenic, and full of quiet surprises.

  • Additionally, if you’re planning the trip with kids or older parents, don’t miss our Tips for Rafting with Children in Bali for extra preparation.

Does Ayung River Rafting Ubud Include Hotel Pick-up?

Only a few operators, such as Mason Adventure, include pickup in the base price. Hotel transport is available for others, like Graha, Sobek, and Payung, but may require a small extra charge. Always confirm during booking.

Areas Covered for Pick-up

Pick-up is typically available from:

  • Ubud (central and north).
  • Kuta, Legian, and Seminyak.
  • Sanur.
  • Canggu (limited providers — confirm first).

When to Confirm Your Pick-up Time

You should confirm your hotel pick-up time:

  • At the time of booking (via WhatsApp or booking form),
  • Again, the day before your trip, for the exact timing.
  • Most pick-ups happen 60–90 minutes before your rafting session. Be ready early to avoid delays.

Ayung River Rafting Ubud Safety – For Kids & First-Timers

Getting to Ayung River Rafting, Ubud – Location & Transport Tips

Ayung River rafting starts in Kedewatan Village, north of Ubud, Bali — a scenic area surrounded by jungle and rice fields.

Address: Jl. Raya Kedewatan, Kedewatan, Ubud, Gianyar, Bali 80571

Coming from Ubud or South Bali?

Fortunately, getting to the rafting site is easy and flexible. You can choose from several transport options, such as:

  • Grab or Gojek (online taxi app).
  • Private driver or hotel transport.

However, the most recommended option is booking pick-up and return transfers through your Ayung River Rafting operator — it’s hassle-free and ensures you’re on time.

Travel time from Kuta, Seminyak, or Sanur: 60–90 minutes, depending on traffic.

Type your operator name in Google Maps (e.g., Sobek, Mason Adventure, Payung, Graha Rafting)—they are all pinned and easy to locate.

Best Time to Go Rafting on the Ayung River in Ubud

What’s Rafting Like in the Rainy vs. Dry Season?

Your Ayung River water rafting adventure runs all year, though the experience changes with the season:

  • Rainy season (Nov–Feb): The water flows faster, making the rapids feel more exciting — a solid pick if you’re up for a splashier ride.
  • Dry season (May-Oct): The river is calmer, and the weather is clearer. It’s a popular time for first-timers, families, and relaxed paddlers.

Are you unsure which vibe best suits you? Ask us on WhatsApp—we’ll help you choose based on your comfort level and travel dates.

What to Bring – Ayung Rafting Bali Packing Checklist

Pack these essentials for comfort, safety, and convenience:

  • Quick-drying clothes (you’ll get wet).

Ayung River Rafting FAQs – Quick Booking & Safety Info

Need fast answers before booking? These are the most common questions we get from couples, families, and first-time rafters:

How long does the experience take?

Approximately 5–6 hours total, including Rafting, lunch, and hotel transfers.

Can I request a halal meal?

Yes. When you book, just let us know, and we’ll match you with an operator that offers halal-friendly lunch options.

What happens if it rains or the river is closed?

If conditions are unsafe, your trip will be rescheduled or refunded — no penalties.

Are lockers available at the rafting site?

Yes — Mason Adventure offers secure locker storage at their base camp.

For other operators like Graha, Sobek, or Payung, your small valuables will be stored in a dry bag carried by the guide throughout the trip.

We still recommend keeping valuables to a minimum. Ask during booking if you have specific items that need secure storage.

Can solo travelers join?

Absolutely. You’ll be grouped with others — meeting fellow adventurers is a great way.

Is there a cultural element to the trip?

Yes. You’ll pass stone cliff carvings that tell traditional Balinese stories. Some operators also offer optional photo or video services.
