Bali Rafting with Cliff CARVING Relief

About this tour

This 4–6 hour adventure combines 2 hours of white-water rafting on the Ayung River with sightseeing across central Bali. You'll paddle through narrow gorges lined with jungle and rice paddies, navigate past carved cliff faces, then spend the afternoon visiting Tegalalang's tiered rice terraces, Kintamani's volcanic slopes (a UNESCO site), the spring-fed Tirta Empul temple, a working coffee plantation, and Ubud's artist quarter. A guide, buffet lunch, and hotel transfers are included.

What to expect

You'll start with a professional guide briefing you on safety before launching into the river. The rafting itself takes 2 hours; you'll handle moderate rapids, glide past hanging vines, and see intricate cliff carvings carved into the gorge walls. After regrouping on shore, you'll drive through changing terrain—volcanic highlands, misty ridges, rice fields stepping down hillsides. Each stop (temple, coffee farm, artist studios) is brief but shows different facets of Balinese life. Expect a full day and bring a change of clothes; the pace varies with traffic and seasonal crowds.
