    Great river rafting experience on a hot day, friendly guide - Baron, paddling, rapids, swimming and walk in and out was no problem for early 60s couple. Good change and shower facilities and nice lunch.

    Price too high

    The price i paid was higher they would not let me negotiate more, the lunch included was terrible. Staff were nice. I would go cheaper place next time as not affordable

    Response from the operator: Dear, G6778PU We're not sure you're our customer. Our prices aren't high. Perhaps you booked this tour with the wrong person, who charged you a high price to get something. Sorry, but you're not my customer, but you're writing a review about our company. For those reading this, be careful when booking tours. Regard

    Great activity, full on, here’s some tips

    This was our second visit. 2 years ago we did the same. Brought our adult kids and partners back. 6 of us in one boat. We had a fantastic time. Or guide was excellent and we felt safe. You definitely get wet, and possibly jump in at the end for a 50m float down the river, so wear bathers with clothes over them. We kept items in our drivers car, but I just rinsed off in the shower at the base (big pipe in the wall with water dumping on you) and they supply clean towels to dry off. You remove shoes in the boat, but will need something to wear to hike up and down the many steps to the river and back, and wet. So things or crocs. Bring a waterproof phone lanyard. Hat and sunnies might get lost too, so prepare for that. Last time we came, I was pretty sure that the smorgasbord food at the end was not kept at safe temperatures for correct time and I was unwell. This time there wasn’t much left, so we ate watermelon with caution. What I didn’t like was that our driver had set up that we would pay basically $100 each when the cost is actually like $30-40. Luckily husband was on it, but some awkward confrontations had to be done. He played dumb on it, but it left us in doubt and a reminder to trust no one. This is a physical activity and everyone has to paddle and work. So if you want a lazy river ride, this isn’t for you. Do the tubing instead. Also, there’s a halfway stop where you buy a drink and it’s recommended to buy your guide a drink too. Prices are high. $4 for potato chips. But at least buy your driver a drink. It’s easier to leave your water bottle behind too, it’ll be in the way.

    Response from the operator: Dear Our Lovely Customer, Thank you so much for your kind words and for sharing your experience with us. We’re delighted to know that our guide made your journey memorable with his friendly attitude, warm hospitality, and clear information about Bali’s beautiful destinations. Your appreciation truly encourages us to keep delivering the best service. We look forward to welcoming you back again for another wonderful journey in Bali. Warm regards.

    Halfway drinks SCAM

    Be careful of their Scam. Half way through the rafting tour the guide will stop the raft for a break on the side of the river. Even if you don’t want to stop. They will provide you with a choice of drinks and foods. This is not part of the tour. This is a Scam. Don’t stop and carry on. They will over charge you when you get back to reception. Not just for your drinks and food but also your guides food and drinks.

    Response from the operator: Dear, Mr. Alex S. Thank you for your info : o be aware that in the Ayung Ubud river there are several rafting providers. More than 10 providers to be aware of in one river. After we checked the reservation, the name (Alex) was not on the list. Maybe you wrote a comment on the wrong link. We hope that doesn't happen in our company. Can you provide clear details: 1. Reservation Name: ? 2. Rafting Date: ? 3. Hotel / Villa: ? So that we know more clearly, if you are our guest who is rafting with us. Thank you. We always provide the best service for all our guests is a priority.

    Fun rafting trip, but 8am start time is incorrect!

    The overall experience was great, BUT the start time Viator gives is inaccurate!! We showed up at 8am per the Viator information and were told they did not even open until 9 and our trip would start at 9:30am.

    The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud cost?

    +

    Prices start at $22 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Jimbaran usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud take?

    +

    Plan for about 3 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 Jimbaran is not rushed.

    Is The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Jimbaran, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud?

    +

    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 The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud?

    +

    Around 7 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Best Ayung River White Water Rafting Ubud 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 Jimbaran 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 Jimbaran?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Jimbaran experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Discover The Best of Ubud: All-Inclusive and Private Guided Tour, Ubud: Monkey Forest, Jungle Swing, Rice Terrace and Water Temple, Best of Ubud Private and All-Inclusive 1-Day Tour. 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 Jimbaran?

    +

    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 Jimbaran?

    +

    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.
