    Zero organization

    Our experience with Gekko Tubing Bali was the worst we’ve ever had. The organization was extremely poor from start to finish. The activity started 1 hour and 30 minutes late, the guides were rude and unprofessional, and we spent far too much time waiting for both pick-up and drop-off. Overall, the experience was frustrating, poorly managed, and far below expectations. I would not recommend it.

    Response from the operator: We’re sorry that your experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that the river is not operated exclusively by Gekko Tubing. There are several tubing companies operating on the same river, including other operators, so the flow of guests and waiting times are not always fully under our control. During busy periods, the river can become crowded and we may have to wait for other groups to pass through certain sections for safety reasons. This can sometimes cause delays, even when our team is ready and prepared. We also disagree with the statement that our guides were rude or unprofessional. Our guides work hard to assist guests and prioritize safety throughout the activity. We appreciate constructive feedback, but we hope guests also understand the operational conditions of a shared river environment.

    Best Tubing for Kids

    I took my 5-year-old child with me, who is very good at hospitality, safety and cospa, and while I was very concerned about safety, the moderate rapids were also stimulating and the children enjoyed it

    Good fun & safe

    Great fun, safe and adventurous for the wide age range in our group (13 to 58) but not wild water. Beautiful river in a deep gorge. A lot of steps down & up. One of the guides photographs & videos, package of images sold for 200000 InR, great momento.

    First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Ubud.

    How much does First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing cost?

    +

    Prices start at Rp 450,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Ubud usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Ubud is not rushed.

    Is First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 48 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Ubud, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Ubud can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Ubud and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Ubud within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Ubud?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Ubud experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private 1-Day Ubud Highlights Tour, Mount Batur Jeep Adventure, Mount Batur Sunrise Trekking (Private Tour and Breakfast at Restaurant). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Ubud?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Ubud?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in First Tampaksiring River Tubing by Gekko Tubing?

    +

    Included: Insurance Coverages; Safety Approved Equipment; Bottled water; Use of towels & Shower Facilities; and Shutlle Service to Start & Finsh Point. Not included: Lunch; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
