I have not hurriedly shared the experience of white water rafting in Bali. The main reason is... I couldn't find the photo I bought with the hawker for a while. It was finally dug up and scanned into an electronic file. (^^b) When planning the Bali honeymoon itinerary, there was really no plan. In addition to actively checking accommodations and visas everywhere, I even asked Wendy casually about rafting if she wanted to experience rafting. Fun?
Ready to go boating on the Ayang River
Until the first night when I arrived in Bali and exchanged rubles on the streets of Seminyak, I saw that the store also had a variety of Local Tour, and even one person only costs 38 US dollars, including hotel two-city pick-up service and Chinese food. , Just make an appointment with the store for the departure time very casually.is it fun?I am afraid of water, so far I still have a good aftertaste of the fun of white water rafting!
We set off at 8:15 in the morning and headed south from Seminyak (the hotel is located in this area) to Kuta, a little suspicious... isn't the rafting in Ubud?It should be going north!It turned out that there was also a pair of foreign girls here in Kuta who wanted to go boating with us in Ubud, but then we learned that they were also partners in the same rubber boat.The street scenes along the way are shining under the good weather, and the mood is really happy, but it can also be seen that the life here in Bali is laid back and leisurely.
Firstly, the street shops in these lively areas opened in twos and threes. If we saw the prosperity on the first day, I think everyone is still sleeping to have the vitality to welcome another busy day of greetings.Driving into the Ubud district is full of green fields and even a large terraced field. People who are accustomed to seeing the urban jungle should come here to enjoy the idyllic scenery, and they will surely get rid of that impatience for a while.Although Bali is already a very famous tourist attraction, even some of its features seem to be foreign territories, but sometimes in the blink of an eye, you can see her very simple side, the kind of non-commercial style.

▲ Twos and threes of shops opening shops along the way.
▲ When I came to Ubud, there were not many people.
▲There is an endless green landscape.
▲ It seems that the temples in Bali are not used to opening so early?
Ayang River Rafting Experience: Preparation before the trip
When I arrived at the rafting site, I came to the Ayung river. The store took out cold boiled water for everyone. I also saw a lot of foreigners waiting in line to experience the rafting. My mood was so nervous and excited, even though I looked so beautiful. Scenery, I still can't get rid of the thought of being afraid of water, even when the boatman gave me a life jacket and a helmet, I was very nervous during the three inspections.After dressing, there were four passengers in a rubber dinghy, a boatman at the helm, and everyone went down one by one.
The boatman will lead the inflatable boat to the starting point of the river. While inflating it, he will explain to us the precautions, including the correct holding of the paddle in his hand. When he said that the slogans for paddling forward and paddling to the right are oo, xx (my whole Nervous enough to forget), if it encounters turbulence or is about to collide with the rock walls on both sides of the river, he will say "Bom Bom" and we have to lie down immediately to slow down the collision force. (Well, I pay special attention to this, because feeling the turbulence and hitting the rock wall is not a joke.><")
▲ Remember to dress lightly when you come to whitewater rafting, you will definitely get soaked, so bring a change of clothes too!

Ayang River Rafting Experience: Rafting Experience
I am probably the most unfamiliar traveller with water activities. I followed the boatman to the starting point of the river with an uneasy mood. I never had the opportunity to go boating on the Xiuguluan River in Hualien, so I had to ask Wendy, who has experienced both. , The difference between Bali rafting VS. Siu Kuluan River rafting.He said that the boating in Taiwan is more torrential, not as smooth and long as the river in Bali. In addition, the topographical relationship sometimes requires a stream to go up, unlike the Ayang River where you only need to walk. There are beautiful terraced rice fields here in Lido. For ordinary tourists, it is true that Bali rafting will be more popular.Those who love excitement...please challenge Xiuguluan River directly. ^^
Before we set off, the boatman helped us put all our digital cameras away and put them in waterproof bags just in case.The river water was very smooth at the beginning, and occasionally the cold river water touched, so I slowly relaxed and focused on admiring the beautiful scenery along the way. Wendy and I listened carefully to the boatman’s slogan. The two foreign girls in front were already relaxing and playing. Water, so on the slightly turbulent river in the middle section, one of them rolled out of the boat and fell into the river, but her friend kept laughing at her, as if he didn’t want to pull it, but the water level of the river was not high. She should be 180 centimeters tall, and she just needs to jump on the boat.
When encountering a rock wall or a big rock in a river, the boatman would call "Bom Bom" to signal us to lie down. I probably only move the fastest at this time!Lie down right away!Seeing a foreigner who set off a step earlier than ours, one of them was lying in the back seat comfortably. He did not make any effort to appreciate the scenery and let the cold river water get wet. Ha~ I think we two probably It is also the most cooperative crew member.
There will be a rest stop in the middle of the way. There is a waterfall here. The boatman will put down the passengers to rest. Whether it is taking pictures or buying drinks with the vendors who have been waiting here early, there will be about 15 minutes of rest time.After the rest, another fun journey began.
▲ The cabin on the left is the starting point.
▲ From a travel website, but this is indeed the natural landscape that we can see when we go boating!
▲ From the travel website, I went to Ubud Ayung River for rafting, and there are super green fields on both sides.
▲ The foreigners are very Kuso, either taking pictures with their mouths open, or taking pictures with their beer.
✅Comprehensive evaluation: Ayang River rafting is worth a visit
I am gradually getting used to water, and found that our inflatable boats are more long-term?I will see some tourists coming to the shore earlier than us until this scene.... I was refreshed, the boatman took back the paddle, and asked the four of us to sit down...because I was about to row into this waterfall, at that moment I only had a sharp point. Scream, the body feels downward, it's very exciting!Originally thought that this exciting journey was about to end, the boatman led us to row for about 10 minutes before going ashore.
The entire rafting lasted about 40 minutes. At the end, a store will lead us to walk up the mountain, and provide showers for tourists to freshen up. The restaurant next to it will also provide a simple lunch. The cool afternoon breeze is really comfortable!Of course, some hawkers will ask if you want to buy photos. Our Australian foreigners didn’t buy them. The hawkers came and asked us instead. They wanted to say that they didn’t have the opportunity to take photos of the heroic rafting along the way. They bought a photo for $3 As a memorial.At about two or three in the afternoon, the driver who picked us up early in the morning drove the two pairs of us back to the hotel in a small bus. Thinking back to this trip, I seemed to hear the sound of gurgling water and the cold river water. Look Endless blue sky, white clouds and green terraces.
