The experience
The Ayung River run covers 11 km with rapids, a waterfall and views across to Mount Agung and rice fields. A professional guide leads the raft, and everyone wears a life jacket and helmet meeting international safety standards. The river section alone takes several hours, moving through tropical forest that opens onto the wider landscape as you descend.
The jungle swing sits about 20 minutes from central Ubud in a traditional Balinese village. A single giant swing hangs between coconut trees at height, with views across the forest canopy and down to the river valley below. You get your turn on it before or after the rafting, depending on the day's flow. Coffee and tea are served at the swing site.
Pickup and return to your hotel are included, and the full outing runs 6 to 8 hours. Lunch is a buffet served partway through the day. Groups stay small (a maximum of 15 people per departure), and the guide speaks English. Children from age 6 are welcome. A minimum of 2 people is required per booking.
Is this one for you?You raft and swing yourself rather than watch from a vehicle, so this suits anyone who wants to be in the action, not observing it. The small group size (maximum 15) and professional guide mean you get instruction and safety oversight without a crowd, and the full day fits into a single outing from Ubud.

Top questions
Can children come?
Yes. Ticket types: Child (6 to 11 years). Children under 6 can't be included in the booking.
What is the Ayung River rafting like? How rough are the rapids?
The Ayung River section covers 11 km with beautiful rapids, a waterfall and tropical forest on both banks. A professional guide leads the raft through the course, and all participants wear life jackets and helmets that meet international safety standards, so the experience is managed for safety even as it delivers the adrenaline.
How high is the jungle swing, and what does it feel like?
The giant swing hangs between coconut trees at a significant height, with sweeping views of the jungle canopy and the forest valley below. It is positioned on a hill overlooking the Ayung River, rice fields and Mount Agung, so the view is as much part of the experience as the swing itself.
How much time do I spend on the water versus on the swing?
The rafting takes several hours across the 11 km river journey. The swing is a separate experience you do once during the outing. The full activity runs 6 to 8 hours including pickup, the swing, lunch and return to your hotel, so both elements fit into a single morning or afternoon.
Is this suitable for someone who has never rafted before?
Yes, the tour is suitable for all physical fitness levels, and the guide is professional and informative. A minimum of 2 people per booking is required, and children from age 6 are welcome, so it is built as an accessible adventure rather than an expert-only experience.
What is included in the price?
Hotel pickup and return, the professional river guide, all safety equipment (life jacket and helmet), a buffet lunch, coffee and tea, and all taxes and fees are included. A photographer or DVD is available to purchase separately if you want a record of the day.
