Ubud White Water Rafting & Luwak Coffee Escape

This half-day route is built for travellers who want one real adventure without giving up the whole day. Your private driver handles the timing, so you can raft while the river is at its best and still be back at your hotel by late afternoon.

Experience story

Rapids, rainforest, and roasted beans

Raft splashing through white water surrounded by jungle

The Ayung River cuts a deep green canyon right through the Ubud highlands. Within minutes of pushing off you are surrounded by cliffs draped in ferns, carved stone reliefs, and small waterfalls tumbling into the river.

After the last rapid you climb back up through the rice fields to a hot shower and a well-earned lunch. On the drive home we stop at an agrotourism plantation where the farmers show how cacao, vanilla, and coffee are grown and roasted — and where you can taste the island's famous kopi luwak if you are curious.

FAQ

Common questions

Is rafting safe for beginners?

Yes. The Ayung River is graded II–III, which is ideal for first-timers. Every raft has a certified guide and all equipment is included and insured.

Can I bring my phone or camera?

Leave valuables in the basecamp locker. Professional photos are available to buy after the trip, or bring a waterproof action camera.

What if it rains?

Light rain does not stop rafting — you are getting wet anyway! If the river is too high we will reschedule or refund.

Can children join?

Children from 7 years old can join with an adult. Please tell us their ages when booking so we prepare the right life jackets.
