Bali is beautiful. Bali is an adventure filled haven that offers many activities for the young and old. An iconic island of Indonesia, Bali is home to a population of over 4 million people of diverse faiths, cultures and castes. The island is a popular attraction thanks to the many glamorous beaches, coral reefs, volcanic mountains and archaeological sites. From north to south are things too good to miss. On the south side of the island, travellers may find many establishments like Anantara Uluwatu Bali Resort which is amongst the Bali golf resort options in the area; the north is popular for the outdoor adventures it offers like white water rafting, which can be easily accessed from the south side too.
A favourite among local and foreign tourists alike, rafting on the Ayung River is an experience of a lifetime. The sport has grown to become one of the more preferred activities on the island with many hundreds and even thousands of tourists taking the challenge. While white water rafting can be categorized as slightly more daring than most other sports, safety gear and alertness can always ensure a smooth rafting experience.
There are many rafting operators on the island like Sobek Ayung River Rafting, Bali Adventure Rafting and Bali Payung Rafting that offer guided rafting tours. Even beginners may raft on the Ayung River thanks to its relatively easy currents. Rafting is usually done in two sessions, either in the morning or afternoon and the rates depend on which operator you choose. Some operators also conduct white water rafting rapids classes which allow participants to familiarize themselves with water currents and how to confront them. While the Ayung River is the most famous for this activity other rivers like Telega Waja River and Melangit River too are suitable for rafting.
Rafting can be done all year around making it easier for travellers to choose their holidays with ease. Travellers are advised to be clad in light clothes and wear strapped sandals or runners which ensure a firm grip. While rafting, participants come across both calm and turbulent waters and will also be able to witness a plethora of fauna and flora that surrounds the river.
