I made the reservation online a week before my arrival in Ubud for the half-day river rafting. Immediate response. No hassle and was picked up on time at my hotel on that day. Made the payment at the rafting centre. Our guide was fun and gave good instructions on how to handle the ride on the river. Had a great relaxing group of 6 including the guide on the raft. We had to climb down a great number of steps to the river but the view was lovely. Beautiful scenery, fresh air and cool waters! Had a great time. Also great exercise for the legs climbing up from the river back to the rafting the centre. Lunch was provided as part of the package. Yummy and simple ayam bakar (grilled chicken) and rice. Transport back to the hotel.

Ayung rafting was a pleasant activity with beautiful surroundings. The river was calm enough to enjoy the scenery. We booked voucher only and everything was handled efficiently at the meeting point.
Cheap day out and fun. Best arranged activity we did while traveling Bali.
Don’t get talked into booking the ATV too at tour desks as it is close though that costs around 1 mil extra and worst thing ever unless your a kid.
Very friendly team, smooth organisation.
Had a good time especially with the quad, beautiful scenery. Rafting not the right season.
went white water rafting with family.it was a great day. my 9 year old grandson loved it, so it is good for all ages, but I was a bit embarrassed that I had to sign a insurance waiver, as I am over 65. the guides were excellent, and keeped every body involved during the trip. it was 9 kl. long. the river was a bit low, and I would have liked it a bit rougher. we were picked up at our resort, and returned. the tour included lunch which was very good. the only hard part was the steps going down to the river, and back up. you have to be pretty fit.
Went on Jun 8, clear water. We saw a number of waterfall(small), tropical plant along the way, kids swim in the river etc. Maybe because the water flow is small(dry season), so our boat has been stuck in the river stone several times, our coach need get down to the river and pull/push the boat. As long as you follow coach instruction, safety is not the issue. That is one review said the river is full of rock, make him felt bad. I don’t agree, if without the rock, river rafting doesn’t fun and challenging(during wet season) anymore. Overall, we enjoy the rafting in Telaga Waja River.
Our Ayung rafting trip was pleasant and well paced. The scenery along the river was beautiful. We booked voucher only and found the process easy.
After we arrived in Bali, we went white water rafting. This staff were very prompt on picking us up at our hotel. They made sure we had a great time. It was nice that lunch was included. I recommend if you want to do white water rafting.
