Top Ubud White Water Rafting

We were picked up by Made. He helped us all day with transportation to and from our hotel, and to the rafting + ATV quad. Besides, he helped us during the activities by, for example, arranging a locker. The best thing we found was that he took photos and videos of us while ATV quad riding, something we didn't even ask for 😁 We are very satisfied, and the activities were great!

After looking at dozens of tours across multiple platforms, we finally chose Bali Ari Tours — and were not disappointed! Communication was timely and courteous, and the price was very reasonable. We booked the 10 am slot and spent about two hours on the water. We opted for a shared raft with another couple (4 people + guide per raft). While the operator and others suggested a private raft, we thought it would be more fun to share the adrenaline rush — and it was! The Ayung River is only Class I-III, so it's actually a relatively gentle ride with a few fun bumps thrown in. Perfect if you've never tried white water rafting before. We had been warned about crowds on the water, but we didn't experience that. It was just our raft and one other behind us, so we had a really relaxed and fun time. We also appreciated that there aren't too many steps to get to and from the river. We'd heard other companies have access points with 700+ steps, so it's worth checking this when you book. The whole experience is very well managed — from check-in to the activity itself. There are lockers to leave your stuff, you get geared up with all the safety equipment, and then head to the start point. At the end, there are showers, towels are provided, and they even give you plastic bags for your wet swimwear and shoes. There was a buffet lunch afterwards, which we skipped as there weren't vegetarian options. Overall, we had a blast and would definitely recommend this operator!

It was an amazing experience. Our white water rafting guide “Monkey” was so nice, caring and made the experience exciting. Monkey made sure that we were safe and entertained at all times. The young men who gave the guided tour of the ATVs were also knowledgeable and maintained safety. They kept us entertained. They were very observant of each individual in the group making sure to give us all the best experience. My partner and I loved it!!!

We participated as a family of four. The tour guide was kind and very attentive. Thank you so much for looking after my daughter, who is not used to driving yet. My daughter seemed to have fun and said she wants to do it again. Thank you very much for everything. It is a tour you can participate in with peace of mind.

An amazing experience topped off with an even better driver/guide. Suwantara was super helpful and friendly! Even pointed me in the right direction of the best Babi guling! Would definitely do it again and will be requesting Suwantara the next time in Bali!

The rafting was the best part and would do it again. Our guided on rafting was amazing. The quad bikes not as great unfortunately they are not organized and struggle to communicate also to many people on tracks who cannot drive ans drive into each other. Would only recommend the rafting that was clean clear and professional.

We had a blast. You do have to walk 300 steps down and 300 steps back up. My husband and I are in our early 60s and we had a fine time doing it. The equipment was good and guide was excellent, enjoyable and funny. Felt very safe. Wonderful experience.

This was so fun! Everything went so smooth and it was the perfect first rafting experience for my kids. The pick up to the drop off was well organized and fun. The only thing was they took pictures along the way for us for purchase but then we never were offered the opportunity to look at them to see if we wanted to purchase them. Anyway it was a lot of fun!
