Dette er bare en super tur. Ingen af os 5 havde prøvet rafting før så vi tog den nemme med klasse 2 og 3 sværhedsgrad. Vores guide var fantastisk god og underholdende så vi fik nogle rigtig gode timer på Aung river.
It was my first time to do river rafting and it was so special to the point that I will come back again to do the same thing I love that my wife and i enjoyed it and we had some really good times
Read the reviews before to choose the company and they lived up to expectation. Pick up on time, very responsive to requests on WhatsApp and mail and met all our requests for pick up at one place and drop at another(thanks to the unseen lovely Puspa). We booked a private taxi at extra cost which arrived on the dot with a professional driver. The rafting experience is great for beginners and the oarsman did most of the work plus added some amazing sound effects with his boom boom and all in all made it an amazingly fun experience for us. This is a must do activity as the views from the river are stunning and one just doesn’t want the ride to end.
The lunch is ok, but we see it as an add-on and not a reason to book a rafting experience so don’t expect much and you will be satisfied. And do carry cash to tip the oarsman (we left around 8USD not knowing what the rate is but he seemed pleased) who does most of the hard work for close to 3 hours. Highly recommend this company. They deliver what they promise.
I arranged this activity for my 13 year old son but we both had a great time, it is a wonderful point of view on the nature of the Telaga Waja river! I was able to book the night before, they replied promptly, the pick up was perfectly on time, from kuta it took 2 hrs to reach the starting point. Our rafting guide was prepared and nice, I never felt in danger . Other companies had many many boats, we were just 2 and it felt more personal . Only point to improve: shower at the end was not warm. The buffet lunch was fine in a nice Balinese environment of rice fields. A good day to explore a bit of the east of the island !
This was the third time we have done the Telaga Waja rafting and it was fine. All the Bali rafting groups are VERY similar – some are perhaps a little more professional than others but not worth the triple price they charge. If you look around you shouldn’t pay more than $25 compared to the $70-$90 that some online bookings try to pretend are the prices. This crew were much smaller than others – they were busy repairing the rubber boats when we arrived but everything went fine. Great fun on river especially since our ‘driver’ spent a lot of time going backwards over rapids by mistake! Last time one of the fancier groups almost drowned my son so the expensive crews are no better. The food and drinks at the end are the usual very basic meal – if you complain about this then pay 3x the price for something only slightly better. Showers at end didn’t work my wife said; but who cares.
Nous avons choisi de faire cette activité pour les enfants et nous n’avons pas regretté! Nous vous la conseillons car elle est vraiment sans danger avec quand même des frissons garantis beaucoup de rires et des paysages incroyables. Très peu voire impossible de tomber à l’eau et tout est très bien organisé. Prévoyez toujours des affaires de rechange car vous reviendrez trempés. le repas prévu est très simple mais efficace pâtes et riz avec du tofu épicé. Le petit bémol c’est que le guide a un peu tendance à souvent nous arroser et à faire du bruit alors qu’on est dans des paysages et des gorges superbe. et qui inspire plutôt à l’observation et au calme

Very professional team
We werden om 8:30 opgehaald bij onze villa, waarna we na 1,5 uur rijden bij de telaga waja river aankwamen. Onderweg nog een paar keer gestopt om mooie foto’s te maken. We waren met 4 personen en 1 begeleider. Voor ons was een grote groep met indonesiers die ons de hele tocht nat gooide. De tocht was prachtig en een geweldige ervaring, prachtige natuur, helder water en mooie stroming. De waterval van 4 meter viel reuze mee was wel heel spannend. Na afloop kon je lekker douchen en droge kleren aandoen wat zeker nodig was we waren drijfnat, daarna kregen we een lekkere lunch aan geboden. Al met al top verzorgd een compliment voor onze begleider die heeft hard moeten werken in onze boot.
Water Rafting er mange ting, men på Bali er de ikke farlige og alle kan være med. En sjov aktivitet for familien og unge mennesker, hvor vi plejer at have vandkamp med de andre både undervejs!!! Vær klar på 600 trin ned i junglen til vandfaldet og op igen når i har sejlet – puha, god motion og gode ben/ numse får man vist af dette…
