Fantastic rafting trip
Reasonable price with premium quality
All was the awesome and green scenery
A very enjoyable experience
Well organized by ubud bali white water rafting
Great and fun activity
Definitely recomend it
Fun, exciting, adventuress, very knowledgeable and experienced staff.
Had a great time other than getting stuck on rock with water gushing in the boat.
Wasn,t funny at the time but laugh about it
Now!
We each paid 30k for this and was extremely pleased with the whole experience!
Heard it’s about triple the price in Australia!
Driver picked us up at our apartment and sent us in a private car,, journey was approximately an hour or so.
Lockers were provided and you could leave your valuables in there or with the guy in charge of your team. He keeps it safe in his waterproof bag as well.
Whole rafting experience was about 2 hours, with several stops for photo taking, a quick beer etc. The guide made it fun for us too, disturbing other rafts, making jokes etc.
Do note, it’s about a 15 minute hike down and 10 minute hike back up after. Do consider if your leg is generally weak.
At the end of it, towels were provided for showers and they had a simple indonesian buffet, which was amazing! The food actually tasted good!
At the end, our driver sent us back with smiles of all our faces!
Highly recommended!
If you bored of being noise from night club, and looking for adventure and fun place, rafting would be the good choice.
I recommended to try this out on Dec-Feb during rainy season, because the river is flowing faster and more water debit.
The staffs were friendly, they explained well to us about the safety needs.
My journey was fun, the river is very refreshing and surrounds by lovely scenery. The raft instructor was also friendly, and skillful. Only the helmet, its smelly.
In the end of journey, there’s a climb about 4m height. It was super fun!
The instructor will guide us, so don’t worry about the safety.
After the raft, we took some buffet for lunch. Taste not bad, but need improvement as well. The water in shower room runs small.
Notes : I suggest to booked from travel agent or maybe online so you will get cheaper price. The famous river adventure company is Sobek,
The first time rafting
We had lot of fun
Funny guide
Nice a d amazing view along the river
Rafts and equipment werw good
All good
This was a fun day for our family and the company was very easy to work with. I found a good deal on their website and sent an online inquiry. They responded almost immediately and honored the advertised price. Our guide (“Monkey”) did a great job of keeping us safe and entertained. Not only is the rafting enjoyable, but the canyon is gorgeous. I would definitely recommend rafting with this company while you’re in Ubud.
The guides were very good providing us with a safety overview before the downstream trip and then keeping us entertained duding the 2 hours journey.
The rapids were class 2 and 3 rapids.
We did this tour with a big group.
The lunch is superb
