Rafting outfit
white water rafting outfit in Bali is still the number one choice for those seeking the ultimate in island adventures. Ask anyone in the know from David and Victoria Beckham to Christina Aguilera, Jessica Biel, David Copperfield, Julian Lennon and even the late Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin who were all privileged guests of Bali Adventure Tours (Jl Bypass, Ngurah Rai, Sanur, T: 0361 721 480) – the islands first and longest running professional adventure tour operator since 1989. They still hold their claim to fame as pioneers of the white water rafting industry in Bali, and own the longest rapids on the river, which, at an unprecedented 27 in total, means rafters get the longest ride for their Rupiah.
Australian owned and operated Bali Adventure Tours not only offer the most sophisticated, safe and 100% insured rafting and kayaking experiences on the island but also unparalleled cycling and trekking tours which finish exclusively in the world famous Elephant Safari Park in Taro, Ubud.
What you need to know about whitewater rafting is that it takes place on a river and not all rivers are created equal. The Ayung River in Bali caters to Class 1 and 2 rapids which are more exciting than a calm river and perfectly suitable for anyone from 5-75 years – nothing like the Class 5 rapids famous in other parts of the world for their heart palpitating ferociousness.
Rapids or ‘whitewater’ result from steeply descending river channels. Since the channels are carved by erosion, whitewater rafters encounter numerous boulders and layers of bedrock that sit in the river’s path, and that means fun on vortexes of swirling and funneled water, natural ramps, sudden drops in elevation and most times adrenaline pumping action.
White Water Rafting with Bali Adventure Tours starts with a custom fit-out of life jackets, helmets and paddles, an expert briefing session with qualified guides and a two hour plus rafting adventure over 27 spellbinding and exciting rapids in a ‘jungle gorge’ setting. Finishing with a bite to eat on top of a mountain, amongst the rice fields and complete with air conditioned return transfers, this is a brilliant way to experience the great outdoors of Bali.
