SOBEK WILD ENCOUNTERS
WHITE WATER RAFTING ON THE AYUNG RIVER
SOBEK's
two-hour rafting trip will take you through some of the most spectacular
scenery Bali has to offer. World-class river guides and modern safety
equipment make this a fun day out for all the family, a mix of wild
excitement and fantastic sightseeing as you switch between Class
II and III rapids and wide, leisurely stretches through tropical
rain forest.
Throughout your trip the guides not only skillfully
maneuver your rafts, but also take the time to pass on their knowledge
on local Balinese lifestyle and the local flora and fauna of the
Ayung River valley.
Spectacular waterfalls, the beauty of untouched
Tropical Rainforest and the brilliant blue flash of the Javan kingfisher
will bring your adventure to life as you cover the 12 kilometers
to the Kedewatan finish point. The Ayung River weaves through a
valley dwarfed by enourmous valley walls held together with dense
Tropical Jungle.
After completing the trip, sit back, catch
your breath and relive the excitement of your trip at our spectacular
terraced river restaurant on the banks of the Ayung. Towels are
provided the moment you step from your raft and the design of our
bamboo waterfall showers always has guests talking. Full amenities
are provided. Once you have dried off, the most spoken about meal
on the Ayung River is presented, with a selection of over 20 Western
and Balinese dishes served up along with fruits, sweets and coffee
or tea.
