Explore Ubud & Rafting at Ayung River

Tour Overview

Ubud is widely known as the cultural and artistic heart of Bali. The development of tourism in Ubud was strongly influenced by international artists such as Walter Spies and Rudolf Bonnet, who arrived in the late 1920s and were captivated by its natural beauty, rich traditions, and warm local community. Together with local figures, they founded the “Pita Maha” art association, helping introduce Ubud to the international world.

Today, Ubud has become a world-class destination offering a unique blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty. Visitors can explore the Ubud Palace, shop for traditional handicrafts, and visit the famous Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary, home to long-tailed macaques in a lush forest setting.

The adventure continues with white water rafting at Ayung River, Bali’s longest river. Surrounded by tropical rainforest, carved rock cliffs, and hidden waterfalls, Ayung River offers an exciting yet safe rafting experience. Using internationally standardized equipment and supported by professional guides and insurance coverage, you can enjoy an adrenaline-filled journey through scenic river valleys.

This combination of cultural exploration in Ubud and rafting adventure on Ayung River creates a perfect balance of culture, nature, and excitement in one unforgettable day experience.
