RAFTING ON THE AYUNG RIVER
Take a day to go rafting on the Ayung River and trip across the Balinese jungle like Indiana Jones, only without all the shooting. The perfect balance between action and sightseeing.
And you won’t need to be a fearless rafting champion to take the tour:
The difficulty level won’t go beyond level III, which makes it perfectly safe for beginners. Easy, but certainly not boring : Shooting the rapids should give you that adrenaline kick you’ve been craving for. Make a stop anytime to observe iguanas, birds, bats and monkeys going about their everyday jungle life, or just take a refreshing swim under a waterfall.
Local organizations are professional and very well prepared. They provide good rafting equipment and have rescuing license, just in case. They can organize your day so you don’t have to worry about anything.
