The epic white water rafting of Ubud | A MUST DO IN BALI

The white water rafting of Ubud

The white water rafting of Ubud is what the locals rate as an absolute must in Bali! The rapids stretch for around 14 kilometers around a 28 rapid filled Ayung river. The adventure rapids are amazing and it is like touring through the Amazon jungle as the trees, views and rock formations are stunning. We totally enjoyed the day from start to finish and glad we took our hostel up on the brilliant price they offered us!

The day started with a coffee at our hostel waiting for a driver to pick us up to take us to the white water rafting of Ubud location, we usually hire a scooter for our trips but transportation is included in the price, brilliant. The driver came around 9am, so we jumped in and headed to pick up some more dudes to jump on board and enjoy the day. The jeep was filled and we made our way to the location.

When we arrived we had to sign in, pay (I will get into the prices a little further down as you might get ripped off from some places to do the white water rafting of Ubud) and then you are given a hard hat, exciting this means we going to be hitting some speeds. You then make your way to the back of the building and head down to the river.

We was then split into random groups where you receive a designated raft driver and a raft, the driver was great friendly and liked to have joke even if half of the time you couldn’t understand what he was saying, but we still laughed. Then we set off on the Ubud rafting adventure.

Your white water rafting of Bali adventure will consist of about 2 hours on the river filled with twists, turns, bumps, splashed and the often random joke from the raft driver. As I mentioned the views are breathtaking and even if you don’t fancy the thrill of the rapids it’s worth going just for them.

You finish more or less where you started on the river Ayung, which is strange!? Science eh. Then, the Ubud rafting company provides a free buffet dinner, it’s actually tasty and we ate our moneys worth. After this final stage you are taken back to your accommodation, fantastic day.
