Famously known as a place of spiritual enlightenment, most people wouldn’t think that Ubud also has a side fitted for adventurous people. Beyond the healing rice fields, you’ll find winding rivers with challenging streams—the perfect place for an Ubud rafting adventure.
There are two well-known rivers you can explore through rafting. There’s the Ayung River, which is suitable for beginners, families, or casual adventurers. There, you’ll find a mix of mild thrills and natural beauty, where you can witness intricate stone carvings along the riverbank. Then there’s Telaga Waja River, one of Bali’s longest rafting tracks with a faster stream—much more fitting for thrill-seekers or experienced rafters.
Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned rafter, Ubud is guaranteed to provide you with an unforgettable rafting experience! Make the most of your time there. Here are the best Ubud rafting packages you can try!
