Just landed in Bali and itching for adventure?
Imagine stepping off your flight, being greeted by a friendly driver, and going straight from the airport to the Ayung River — where tropical jungle, waterfalls, and rapids await.

🌴 What Is the Bali Airport Transfer to Ubud Rafting Package?
The Bali Airport Transfer to Ubud Rafting package by Bali Sun Tours combines two essentials — airport pickup and rafting adventure — into one seamless experience.
Instead of heading to your hotel first, you can head directly from Ngurah Rai International Airport (Denpasar) to Ubud, Bali's lush inland paradise, for a half-day of fun on the Ayung River, the island's most famous rafting route.
Perfect for:
- ✈️ Travelers arriving in the morning or early afternoon
- 👨👩👧 Families who want to maximize their holiday time
- 💑 Couples seeking an instant thrill after landing
- 🧑🤝🧑 Groups wanting a private and convenient start to their Bali journey
Everything — from pickup to lunch — is handled for you. All you have to do is show up, smile, and paddle!
🏞️ The Journey: From Bali Airport to Ubud Rafting Base
After clearing customs at Ngurah Rai Airport, your friendly Bali Sun Tours driver will be waiting in the arrivals area, holding a welcome sign with your name.
From there, enjoy a scenic 90-minute drive through Balinese villages, rice paddies, and glimpses of temple life as you make your way toward Ubud.
Your vehicle is private, air-conditioned, and stocked with bottled water — a comfortable ride to shake off your flight and ease into island life.
🚣♂️ The Ubud Rafting Experience
Once you arrive at the rafting base near the Ayung River, your adventure begins.
You'll be greeted by your certified rafting guide, who'll provide a safety briefing, equipment check, and a few laughs to get everyone comfortable.
Then, it's time to descend into the jungle valley — where the Ayung River flows between towering cliffs and emerald-green trees.
🌊 The Rafting Route
The Ayung River offers a perfect mix of fun and scenic beauty:
- 10 km rafting route (≈ 2 hours of adventure)
- Class II–III rapids — safe and beginner-friendly
- Hidden waterfalls, jungle wildlife, and stone carvings
- Plenty of time for swimming, laughing, and soaking in the views
Your guide keeps everything light-hearted and safe, explaining when to paddle, when to pose for photos, and when to simply relax and float.
💡 Pro Tip: Bring a waterproof phone case — the scenery deserves photos!
