Ubud is known for its beautiful nature that some of them can be enjoyed through rafting boat rides. Read on for the complete guidance!
If you are into rafting adventure you should go for it in the morning, especially during rainy season, in order to avoid the increasing water volume of the river. The water flow in the river during rainy season keeps on increasing from time to time. Nothing bad on the raft-boat but floating in a stable water flow is more fun that riding an uncertainty.
Ayung river is the most rafted river in Ubud that many companies are flocking on its top, lining from south to north, between the start and finish line. Their rates are varies (between U$40 to U$60) and each of them offer certain things to set the rate as reasonable.
Not much different between the above figure since they all ride the same river on typically the same boat quality. Each of their guide are mostly experienced on how to play with the current; when to slow down; where to stop by for certain interest e.g. having shower from waterfall; and, when to wave for happiness so you will look good in the video. Yes, there are some cameras to take your best moments in photos and video format. So that, you don't need to bother bringing your own camera but rather focus enjoying the thrilling boat rides.
If I were you I will go with the cheapest and save the remaining bucks for the ATV or else. Now, let's start rafting!
