Telaga Waja Rafting with Bali Hai Tours

1/22/2023

A visit to Bali normally includes an itinerary of day trips and activities and rafting is one of the fun family adventures on offer when visiting the island.

We took the two teenagers to Bali for a week in January 2023 and included a combination day out tour of rafting and cycling - this was definitely one of the highlights of our week and an adventure we all enjoyed.

We have been rafting in Bali a few times before, but this time we went with Bali Hai Tours who took us for an adventure at Telaga Waja river. In the past we have been out of Ubud down the Ayung river - this river to the East of Bali was far more adventurous!

As it was rainy season there was plenty of water flowing down the river which made for some fun moments on the two hour 18km down stream adventure.

It was definitely all hands on deck paddling, ducking to go under low bridges and hanging on when we took on a 4-metre drop! At the 6km mark we stopped at a waterfall for some photos and the chance for a bintang and a rest - this activity is not for anyone wanting a peaceful paddle down a stream.

I had wondered how the 13 and 16yo would get on as this was their first time rafting - and the river was a bit faster than the Ubud river - but they both loved it.  Our guide clearly knew what he was doing and he safely got us from one end of the river to the other without anyone ending up in the river!

The 13 yo was slightly apprehensive at the start - however had a smile on her face the whole way down.

The scenery also kept us captivated as we past villages and waved at locals going about their day tending to rice fields, bathing and washing clothes in the river.  And we managed to spot some unique bird life along the way.

At the end we were given fresh towels and a shower along with an Indonesian lunch to keep us fueled for our next adventure of the day.
If you are looking for a day out for your trip to Bali - this is something you can add to the itinerary for the whole family to enjoy. 

Have you been rafting in Bali? Which did you prefer Ayung of Telaga Waja river?
