Bali Pertiwi White Water Rafting | Thrill on Ayung River

This Company Should Be Shut Down – A Complete Health and Safety Nightmare

This Company Should Be Shut Down – A Complete Health and Safety Nightmare My experience with Pertiwi Bali Adventures was beyond unacceptable — it was dangerous, filthy, and absolutely shocking. This company should not be operating. The day began with a 300-step walk into the jungle, surrounded by monkeys and even snakes, with zero safety precautions. The entire setup already felt chaotic and irresponsible. The rafting was the worst I’ve ever seen. The water was disgusting — brown, polluted, full of plastic, tree logs, and debris. I was nearly hit in the face by a huge log, fell off the raft, and got smashed into rocks. The instructor was too weak and too old to pull me back in and offered no guidance whatsoever during a clearly dangerous emergency. After getting injured, they still made me climb 150 steps and struggle up a steep slope. The helmets were falling off, completely useless and outright dangerous. The changing rooms were a disgrace — no lights, dirty, smelly, and unsanitary. It honestly felt like no one has cleaned them in months. Then the ATV ride was just as terrible. The quad bikes were old, poorly maintained, overheating, and even burning riders’ legs. They send you into a tunnel with no lights on the bike, forcing you to drive in total darkness. It is an accident waiting to happen. This is not an adventure company — it is a hazard, and someone is going to get seriously hurt if authorities don’t step in. Pertiwi Bali Adventures should be SHUT DOWN immediately. An absolute waste of money, a complete safety failure, and the worst tour experience I’ve ever had.

Don't be afraid of getting wet!

What an unforgettable adventure! Private outing: a guide, a canoe for two and all this in good humor and laughter. On the security side, nothing to complain about, quite the contrary. The setting is magnificent, the descent rather calm, with however some more eventful passages which amused us more than anything else. Activity suitable for everyone. Little extra: showers available upon arrival. And the downside: the meal served is mediocre but in no way spoiled our half-day

Response from the operator: Thank you, Gaelleetthierry, for sharing your unforgettable adventure! We're delighted you enjoyed the experience. We hope to see you again soon for more memorable experiences!

What a great day!

Great rafting experience! Excellent guide! The AYUNG river was beautiful with cliffs (and some hand carved murals), jungle foliage, lots of curves and mild rapids. The rapids were frequent and large enough for fun without fear. Great experience! Good Indonesian lunch was provided. Shower facilities were adequate and appreciated. Towels are provided. The only problem is that the stairs down to the river are steep, and it’s a long way—nearly 1000 stairs, which was difficult. The stairs are safe with a handrail, but it’s a lot and a long way. At the end, the stairs coming up are less steep and a shorter distance.

Response from the operator: Thank you, Julia Y, for the great review! We're glad you enjoyed the rafting experience on the Ayung River, the beautiful scenery, and the excellent guide. We appreciate your feedback on the lunch and shower facilities. We apologize for the inconvenience with the steep stairs. Nonetheless, we're pleased you had an enjoyable time overall. We hope to welcome you back for more adventures!
