Bali is famous for its beaches, temples, and vibrant culture—but many travelers say the real adventure is found on its rivers. If you’re looking for something beyond the usual sightseeing, rafting Bali is one of the most refreshing ways to explore the island.
Why Try Rafting in Bali?
- Tropical scenery from a new angle – Paddle through lush jungle valleys, hidden waterfalls, and rice terraces you can’t see from the road.
- Adventure for all levels – Whether you’re new to rafting or already love the thrill of white water, Bali’s rivers have stretches suitable for beginners and fun-seekers alike.
- Cool escape from the heat – A couple of hours on the river is the perfect break from Bali’s mid-day sun.
Where Does Rafting Happen?
Most rafting adventures take place near Ubud, where rivers cut deep into green valleys. The water is clear, the flow is steady, and guides know how to make it fun and safe at the same time. Some courses are family-friendly, while others have a few exciting rapids to get your adrenaline up.
What to Expect on the River
- Safety briefing and gear fitting – Helmets, life jackets, and paddles are provided.
- Short walk down to the river – You’ll see stunning jungle views before you even start.
- 2 hours of paddling, splashing, and laughing – The guides handle the tricky parts so you can enjoy the ride.
- Fresh shower and change at the finish – Most bases have clean facilities to rinse off and relax.
Who Is It For?
- Solo travelers looking for a social activity
- Couples wanting something different from the usual beach day
- Families with kids (usually ages 6 and up)
- Groups of friends who want a mix of fun and nature
Tips to Make It Better
- Bring swimwear, a towel, and waterproof sandals
- Wear sunscreen, even if it’s cloudy
- Keep valuables at the base (dry bags are usually for small essentials only)
- Book in advance to secure your preferred time, especially during high season
