Why raft in Bali
Two rivers, two very different days on the water.
The Ayung River winds through a valley near Ubud with Grade II–III rapids — the gentler of our two rafting rivers. The Telaga Waja River in Karangasem, east Bali, is longer and wilder: Grade III–IV rapids over 14–16 km, with a dam drop on the way. Prefer something calmer? River tubing is a Grade II float on your own tube.
- Ayung: Grade II–III, about 1.5–2 hours on the water
- Telaga Waja: Grade III–IV, about 2–2.5 hours and a dam drop
- River tubing: Grade II, about 1–1.5 hours
- Shared rafts, or a private raft for your group only

FAQ
Questions people ask before booking
Short answers about the rivers, safety, prices and booking. Can't find yours? Ask us on WhatsApp.
How much does rafting in Bali cost?
Ayung River rafting starts from IDR 300,000 per person and Telaga Waja rafting from IDR 300,000 per person, both in a shared raft meeting at the operator's start point. River tubing starts from IDR 215,000 per person. Packages with a hotel transfer cost more per person, and a private raft has one price for the whole raft. Every package shows its price on the trip page before you book.
Should I raft the Ayung or the Telaga Waja?
The Ayung near Ubud is the gentler river: Grade II–III, about 1.5–2 hours on the water. The Telaga Waja in Karangasem is longer and wilder: Grade III–IV, about 2–2.5 hours on the water, with a dam drop of about 4 m. For a first trip, the Ayung is the gentler choice; if you want more action, choose the Telaga Waja. Our Ayung vs Telaga Waja page shows both side by side.
What is the difference between rafting and river tubing?
Rafting: you sit in an inflatable raft with other guests and paddle as a team while a river guide steers. River tubing: each person rides their own inflatable tube, with no paddling. Our tubing trip is Grade II with about 1–1.5 hours on the water — the gentlest trip we sell.
Do I need to be able to swim?
Everyone wears a life jacket and a helmet on the water, and a river guide is in every raft. Whether non-swimmers can join depends on the river and the operator, so please ask us on WhatsApp before you book — especially for the Telaga Waja.
How do I book and pay?
Choose a trip, a package, the date, the start time and the number of guests on the trip page, then check out. At checkout you enter the age of every guest and confirm a short health declaration. Depending on the payment option you choose, you pay the full price or a 20% deposit online; any amount still to pay is shown on your e-voucher. Your places are held for 15 minutes while you pay.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure; after that, or for a no-show, no refund. If the operator closes the river because of high water, you choose a new date or a full refund. To change your date, message us on WhatsApp with your booking reference; a new date depends on availability.
