The Ayung River flows from the central mountains to the sea near Sanur, carving deep gorges through dense jungle. It's Bali's premier rafting destination, with Class II–III rapids suitable for beginners and families. The 2–3 hour journey passes rice terraces, stone carvings, and waterfalls. Rafting companies provide safety gear and guides. The river's cool, clear water and surrounding greenery make it a refreshing escape from the coastal heat. It's an adventurous way to experience Bali's interior landscape.
