Overview

Experience one of Bali’s most exciting outdoor adventures with our private Telaga Waja Rafting experience. Located in the beautiful Karangasem Regency on the eastern side of Bali, the Telaga Waja River is widely regarded as one of the island’s premier destinations for white water rafting. Flowing from the foothills of the majestic Mount Agung, the river offers crystal-clear mountain water, continuous Class II–III rapids, breathtaking tropical scenery, and one of the longest rafting routes in Bali, making it an unforgettable adventure for nature lovers and thrill seekers alike.

Unlike many standard rafting tours, our experience includes a private hotel transfer and your own private rafting boat, allowing you to enjoy the journey exclusively with your partner, family, or friends. There is no need to share your raft with other guests, giving you greater comfort, flexibility, and a more personalized experience from beginning to end.

Your rafting adventure follows approximately 16 kilometers of scenic river and lasts around 2.5 to 3 hours, depending on the river conditions and your paddling pace. Along the route, you will navigate exciting rapids, pass beautiful waterfalls, paddle through lush tropical rainforest, admire dramatic stone cliffs, and enjoy spectacular rice terrace landscapes that showcase the natural beauty of East Bali.

One of the highlights of Telaga Waja Rafting is its continuous flow of rapids. Unlike shorter rafting routes where calm sections are more common, Telaga Waja offers an exciting combination of gentle currents and thrilling white water throughout the journey. The famous rafting drop adds an extra burst of excitement while remaining suitable for beginners under the guidance of experienced professional rafting instructors.

Safety is our highest priority. Before entering the river, every participant receives a comprehensive safety briefing and is equipped with high-quality safety gear, including a helmet, life jacket, and paddle. Throughout the adventure, professional rafting guides accompany every boat, ensuring a fun, safe, and enjoyable experience for guests of all experience levels. Swimming experience is not required, making this activity suitable for most healthy travelers, including first-time rafters.

After completing your rafting adventure, enjoy access to clean shower facilities and changing rooms before relaxing with a delicious buffet lunch overlooking the surrounding countryside. With professional service, private transportation, a private rafting boat, complete safety equipment, lunch, and insurance included, our Telaga Waja Rafting experience offers one of the most complete and comfortable white water rafting adventures available in Bali.

We booked the white river rafting through Ubud Adventures while staying at the Maya Ubud. transfers by private transport The steps down (there & back) are many, but easy & well made, unlike other rafting companies. We also started well ahead of the others. The rafting itself is good fun, with lots of rapids. Will take approximately 2 hours to finish. Wouldnt recommend stopping to buy drinks on the way through. Scenery is great - rainforest, monkeys, carvings in the stone etc. You will get very wet - wear jandals & thin clothing. Only one place where you will have to walk over - no problem. Showers with provided lockers are available to use. Dont worry about taking a camera. They take photos on the way through & only charge a small amount at the end for this service.

This was a most enjoyable trip with our excellent guide Kadek. The highlights for us were visiting the monkey Forest first thing, seeing the rice fields and then stopping at a coffee plantation for an amazing paddle of different teas and coffees. Then a great buffet lunch overlooking the volcano. Kadek was very informative about the culture too.

Ubud adventures was a great find. There prices are more than competitive and there drives are great. Easy to contact. Excellent understanding of the area and knowledge of the sites. We had Kadek Wirata for 2 trips and he made the holiday. Genuine and kind man. Nothing was to much trouble and always ensuring we were doing well.

This is the second time we use their services. Just as two years ago, getting in contact with the company is easy, be it by email or Whatsapp. The response time is always very fast and things are very easy. Our driver Wayan is fantastic: he has an interesting conversation, he tries his best for you to feel cared for, he always has stories to tell, he is very friendly and thoughtful, and on top of that , he is a very safe and good driver. So, what else could i say? ubud adventures will contribute to make your days in Bali even more enjoyable ! Since the trips are designed on a personal basis, you can get the most out of them. That’s what we have done all the times: instead of just traveling from one point to another, they organize the trip so that you can do stops and visits along the way. And Wayan always complements that with interesting information. So, I recommend this company 100%.

We asked our driver Made Chandra of 10 years, to take us somewhere different. We departed our report at 8 am and had a leisurely 1 hour drive to Tukad Cepung Waterfall. You have to walk down some fairly steep stairs (I am a 55 year old who is over weight and waiting on a knee transplant, and I managed this easily, by taking my time and not rushing), the view at the bottom was absolutely breathtaking as per the photos. From here Made Chandra took us to Amora Restaurant Kintamani (check the review on that, it was awesome). After lunch Made Chandra took us to tegalalang rice terrace. This was one of the most enjoyable days that we have had, all thanks to our local knowledgeable driver. This is a must see.
