So much fun! Great hosts and suitable for all ages (grandparents through to young kids). Highly recommended. Well organised.
Very exhilarating adventure! Our driver Pak Ferry picked us up in the morning at 8 am all cheery and happy – great start to the day.
Once we got there, we started with the ATV ride. Quite a long ride that makes it worth the money you pay for it. Also beginner friendly. It gets hot though, so wear sunscreen. And don’t wear any clothes you’ll regret staining – mud gets everywhere! We had a really great time w this ride.
Only issue is that the ATVs arent all working at 100% – can tell that some tend to turn off randomly or fail to surmount large obstacles more than others. But there were always staff members nearby to come to the rescue in those situations.
After ATV, we had a quick shower before making our way on a pickup to a canyon for white water rafting. Very long climb up and down the canyon to get to the rafting place, and the rafting activity was about 1.5 hours long. Definitely rest up the night before (we were out clubbing until 3 am and were already feeling it at this point).
Our instructor for the WWR was super friendly and we could go at our own pace given how tired we were. It was quite an exciting trip – be careful about the strong currents though I think generally you’re safe in the instructor’s care. They’ll also take photos you can pay for later – if you don’t want to pay, bring one of those waterproof phone case bags.
Finally we showered and ate some food – it was not bad; local indonesian food. But definitely nothing to write home about. Nevertheless we were hungry so we devoured it all. Then our driver Pak Ferry sent us to our new accom. He was patient and friendly the entire way.
The rafting is super cool! The river is beautiful, with cliffs and green trees on the left. There are some challenging but still safe and fun runs, even for beginners like me. The guide was also very helpful and helpful throughout the journey.
A very enjoyable experience to refresh mind and body, the facilities are also complete and the price is also affordable, I will come back if there is a chance.
The view is clear, the view along the river is beautiful, and surely the guide is friendly and patient, the trip for 3 hours is not feeling haha next time I’ll be here again.
The near 20 km long rush is a unique experience and adventure. On the way, you will find plenty of rivers and waterfalls. One very beautiful waterfall is also in the middle of the journey. Lunch after this activity is quite satisfying.
We’ve been rowing in the Ayung River twice, so this time we decided to try the Waja Telaga River. The view is beautiful and the flow is very good, I recommend.
This was a very chilled experience of white river rafting. I was a little disappointed with the difficulty level which is not a reflection on the company we used, more so the river itself. Just a pre- warning to those who have rafted before as I’ve been in more hardcore man made rafting rivers than this experience. It was a nice scenic float down the river which we found quite relaxing. Our tour guides were happy and hospitable. The safety briefing was well – brief, to say the least. Our safety gear also wasn’t the safest it could have been, many of the life jackets weren’t fitted correctly to people and were worn down (ripped/holes). Besides that it was a nice experience but if thrill seeking probably not the river for you
Iyu was the best driver we have had in bali. We would love to have her help us again and would definantly recomend her to anyone visiting bali
I was assigned a dedicated & personal Tour Guide, Mr. Jayakhanaka for the excursion. He was very friendly, attentive & helpful in ensuring I had an excellent & memorable holiday vacation.
Throughout the journey he was a careful driver ensuring the safety of the passenger. Initiative and assisted to help capture photographs since I was a solo traveler. Informative on the do and don’t (precaution) of the places visited.
He was very patient while waiting for me to finish touring and dining. Overall good attitude and humble. Very enjoyable experience and will recommend friends. 5 star service 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
