SAFARI INFORMATION & HIGHLIGHTS
The adventure starts with a climb down to the river (about 10 minutes is needed to descend the steps) location where the rafts are waiting. As soon as everyone arrives at the river / starting location of the rafts, the guide/s then give a thorough briefing on safety and the correct way to raft the Ayung River as well as paddling practice.

At times you may even come across the luminous Blue Javan Kingfisher. A continuous mixture of wild excitement and fantastic jungle sightseeing confronts you as you cover the 11 kilometers of river. Throughout the trip the guides not only skillfully maneuver the rafts, but also take time to pass on their knowledge on local Balinese lifestyle and the local flora and fauna of the Ayung River valley.
