GradeIII–IV
Length14–16 km
Time on the water2–2.5 hours
The Telaga Waja runs through Rendang in Karangasem, east Bali. Rafting trips here are longer than on the Ayung: 14–16 km of river and about 2–2.5 hours on the water.
The rapids are Grade III–IV, stronger than on the Ayung, and the run includes a dam drop of about 4 m. It suits guests who want more action and groups who have rafted before.
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 Telaga Waja changes with them. In the wet season, rain upstream can raise the river quickly: the rapids get even more powerful, and on some days the operator closes the river for safety. In the dry season the water is usually lower. 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.
- This is the more demanding of our two rivers: if you are unsure, choose the Ayung.
- The operator may close the river or change the trip when the water is too high.
