Experience Highlights

Ride the River Through Bali’s Wild Heart

The day kicks off in Ubud, where you’ll be welcomed by the team and briefed on safety and how to navigate the rapids — no prior experience needed. After gearing up, you’ll head down to the Ayung River, Bali’s longest and wildest waterway.

The real fun begins as you paddle through 12 km of jungle-lined river, with towering cliffs, waterfalls, and lush greenery surrounding you. Your guide will lead the way, making sure you’re safe, laughing, and catching every splash of adrenaline. The rapids? Just wild enough to keep your heart racing — but totally doable even if you’re a first-timer.

After about 2.5 hours on the river, you’ll return to base for a hot shower, fresh change of clothes, and a buffet lunch overlooking the valley — with tea or coffee to warm you up.

It’s nature, thrill, and full-body joy — all in one ride.
Ideal if you want to get wet, wild, and reset.

    Flora organised the perfect girls trip for us. From the car picking us up from the airport to the villa, where our scooter and even sim card were waiting for us in a gorgeous villa. The itinerary, the restaurant, sight seeing, loved everything. Simply the best.

    I used baliwithflow services for my second and third trip to Bali as I wanted to have different experiences than the tourist-crowded areas. The team provided clear guidance, very punctual drivers and exceptional experiences. They have a lifetime customer here.
