The scenery was just breath taking…
With the rain forest natural waterfalls along the way…and awsome rapids. What made it more adventorous was rafting in the rain and with our great guide who navigated the rapids well.
Ended with a scrumption local bali meal…it was just super.
Will be back again for it for sure….
This was just great, we went after massive overnight rain which caused some local flooding but probably made the river flow faster
This is a strenuous activity so not for young kids or anyone with a disability
There are several companies who offer rafting & more by luck we chose the one who takes you to the furthest point of the river
Our rafting was 3 hours, 15km, others would probably be about 2 hours & miss out on some of the best parts of the river
This makes me realise I might be reviewing the wrong rafting trip
The hotel wanted 1m Rupiah per person for booking this but walking 200 yards into the town I was able to get the price down to 400,000 per person
Shop around & barter!
It was an amazing experience, with every second blasting with joy. Our guide ‘Wish’ was friendly and he taught us the ways to overcome the challenges. The facilities, at the start and end point were fantastically beautiful and clean. There are unknown surprises waiting at every corner of the river. The river itself is quite calm, so you can enjoy the view. The falls are not harsh, but challenging enough to hold the excitement. It’s a five star experience, from the beginning to the end. I would definitely recommend this activity for families that would want to enjoy a good time together. And at the end you would just want to restart the whole thing again and again!
The beauty of the river and surrounding countryside is a memorable sight. However our raft guide was not the best, I don’t think he was very experienced in guiding, possibly a new guy. We have gone on many rafting excursions throughout the world and know how to handle rapids and white water. The guide was clearly confused with relaying instruction to the point that we were looking at each other with serious doubt in our eyes as to this guys ability to successfully negotiate the river.
Additionally we passed on the after trip lunch which was buffet, we opted out as the food looked to be sitting in pans for hours, Bali is an inexpensive place to eat, we declined and went to a local Warung where the food was fresh. No big deal.
In my honest opinion skip the photo ops also, too expensive for what you get.
With the very low price, we got 3-hours of adventurous rafting experience on the river. The guide worked very hard to get the boat moving with countless of rocks obstacles (he reserved some tips). Would definitely recommend this to my friends.
The river was more challenging than the expected floating down the stream. Some great smaller rapids. A waterfall from above to refreshen and a beautiful landscape for the entire 25 km route. Very advisable.
Perjalanan dari kuta 1,5 jam, sungguh wisata air yang indah dan asri.
Tebing tebing yang tinggi dengan pemandangan hotel bintang 5

Amazing day absolutely recommend it was one hell of a walk down and the 6 hundred steps at the end totally killed my legs but completely worth it
