The Ayung is the river near Ubud. Rafting trips run 10–12 km of it, with Grade II–III rapids and calmer stretches in between — about 1.5–2 hours on the water.
Of our two rafting rivers it is the gentler one, so it suits a first rafting trip and mixed groups better than the Telaga Waja. The rapids are still real white water: you paddle, you get wet, and your river guide steers the raft and calls the commands.
The river runs in a valley, so getting to and from the water means walking steps. The trips are run by local rafting operators; the exact start point is confirmed before your trip.

Season & water level
Bali has a wet season and a dry season, and the Ayung changes with them. In the wet season, rain in the hills can raise the river quickly: the rapids get bigger and faster, and on some days the operator closes the river for safety. In the dry season the water is usually lower and the ride calmer. The river is checked before trips run; if it is closed because of high water, you choose a new date or a full refund.
Safety
- Everyone wears a helmet and a life jacket for the whole time on the water.
- Listen to the safety briefing and follow your river guide's commands.
- If you fall in, float on your back with your feet up and pointing downstream, and wait for your guide's help.
- Tell us before booking about pregnancy, injuries, or heart, back or other health conditions.
- No alcohol before rafting.
- The operator may close the river or change the trip when the water is too high.
