The experience

How do you pack an adrenaline rush and deep relaxation into one day? This package splits the difference: you spend the morning on the Ayung River navigating challenging rapids, spotting kingfishers and rice fields, and swimming in pools below waterfalls. The river runs through a valley thick enough that you'll see jungle on both banks and feel a long way from the coast, even though you're staying in Seminyak. Two hours of paddling is enough to feel the work without dominating the whole day.

After you climb out of the water, you shower and change in the rafting center, then sit down to a buffet lunch. The second half of the day moves to Bali Orchid Spa, where a Balinese therapist works on you for two full hours: massage, reflexology, the whole treatment designed to undo what the rapids just asked your muscles to do. The spa rooms open onto a tropical garden with a waterfall in each one, so you're not in a fluorescent box. Hotel pickup and drop-off from Seminyak, Ubud, Canggu, Kuta or any of the other major areas is included, along with an air-conditioned vehicle and an English-speaking guide who stays with the group the whole time.

The package books as a private group, meaning no strangers in your van or on your raft. You'll need to bring sunscreen and a change of clothes. The operator provides towels, lockers and a shower. The minimum age is 5 and the maximum is 60. The activity suits all fitness levels but is not recommended for anyone with spinal injuries, poor heart health or pregnancy.

Is this one for you?The 8–9 hour commitment means you lose most of a day but not all of it. An early start leaves the evening free, and a late finish still fits into a packed itinerary. Book this if you want both the river and the recovery in one outing. If you'd rather spend the whole day on the water or the whole day at a spa, split the package into separate bookings.

Top questions

What languages is the tour guided in?

Live guide in English and Malay.

Can children come?

Yes. Ticket types: Child (5 to 12 years). Children under 5 can't be included in the booking.

What happens if it rains?

It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.

What's the Ayung River like when you're actually on it?

The Ayung River in the dry season runs with challenging rapids surrounded by rain forest, rice paddies and wildlife like kingfishers. You'll pass hidden waterfalls and swim in clear pools. The two-hour paddle moves through scenery most visitors to Bali never see because it's inland and forested rather than beachfront.

Do I need rafting experience to book this?

No. The activity suits all fitness levels and the professional river guide leads the group through the rapids. Children from age 5 can join, and the operator provides all safety-approved equipment, insurance and instruction.

What happens between the rafting and the spa?

You shower and change at the rafting center, then eat a buffet lunch before the driver takes you to Bali Orchid Spa. The spa is a separate location, so there's a short drive between the two activities.

Can I book this if I'm staying in Canggu or Kuta instead of Seminyak?

Yes. Hotel pickup and drop-off are included from Seminyak, Ubud, Sanur, Denpasar, Tanjung Benoa, Nusa Dua, Uluwatu, Jimbaran, Tuban, Kuta, Legian, Kerobokan and Canggu. The driver collects you from your hotel or villa in the morning and returns you at the end of the day.

What's included in the spa treatment?

The 2-hour spa package at Bali Orchid Spa includes massage and reflexology (foot massage) designed to release tension and improve circulation. The spa rooms have tropical garden views and a waterfall in each room.

Is lunch vegetarian if I need it to be?

A vegetarian option is available for the buffet lunch. Let the operator know at the time of booking if you need it.
