What to expect
You'll be collected early and driven to the Ayung River, where you'll don safety gear and board rafts with an experienced guide. The two-hour paddle mixes gentle floating sections with proper rapids—expect to get soaked and work as a team steering through churning water. After showering and changing, lunch arrives at the rafting station. The afternoon shifts into cultural sightseeing: wandering among macaques in the forest sanctuary, viewing palace grounds, stopping at the famous rice terraces for photos, and finishing at a waterfall where you can wade in. It's a full itinerary with minimal downtime.
