Top Ubud White Water Rafting - page 2

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!

100/10 experience. With only one day in UBUD , I feel Dika definitely gave me the best tour I could’ve asked for . With all his knowledge and kindness, I was able to enjoy every stop of my tour . He let me know as many facts about stops and Balinese culture. HE WAS AMAZING!

I finally went white water rafting and it was amazing. The ATV was fun too and I was so grateful that gave us boots to wear to safeguard our feet and prevent our shoes from getting so dirty. The pictures captured were cool and the ATV footage was exciting in with us driving in the mud. I really was a bit afraid of the rafting but it wasn’t bad at all. We rowed when needed which was just about 40% of the ride. The weather was perfect, the guide was friendly and made me feel safe. He also captured some great moments in the water by the waterfalls that were priceless. I just wish i didn’t have to climb back up those steep steps back up the main area but I really don’t see away around that one. However, that ATV and rafting combo was one for the books and I can’t wait to do it again!
