    Gorgeous river route

    This was a great time, and any issues we had were not the fault of the company or tour organizer. The river route was absolutely gorgeous, winding through mountains and jungles. It was also a nice level of rapids, not boring but nothing too strenuous or scary. The one big drop was well-prepared for by our guide and a lot of fun to raft down. The only issues we had (again, not the fault of the company) was a late third party, as well as the third party wanting to get some time in the front of the raft, which while a very reasonable request, split my buddy and I up as there are always 2 in the front and 1 in the back with three people in the raft. It was also nice to have a shower at the end to clean off in. The lunch was meh, but no biggie, we didn't do it for the lunch. Overall, highly recommend this!

    Great Trip with our Driver Kantun

    We had a great rafting trip with an excellent driver. Our driver, Kantun, picked us up promptly at the appointed time and got us back in time to catch our ship. On the way he told us about Bali and answered all of our questions. The rafting was very good as was the buffet lunch.

    Response from the operator: Dear rn641234, Thank you for your time to write a good review for our company. we are happy to know that one of our driver Kantun was doing his job well. It will boost the spirit of our other members. We always want to improve day by day service to reach a high standard of service. Looking forward to welcoming you again in Bali. Regards, Wayan

    Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 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 Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch take?

    +

    Plan for about 7.5 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 Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 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 Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch?

    +

    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 Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch?

    +

    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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Telaga Waja River White-Water Rafting with Buffet Lunch 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.

    +

    Included: Lunch; Private hotel pickup and drop-off; All equipment; and Transport by air-conditioned minivan. Not included: Alcoholic drinks; and Souvenir photos (available to purchase). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
