Telaga Waja Rafting & Ubud Tour - A Perfect Blend of Adventure and Culture
Bali is an island that offers more than just stunning beaches and vibrant nightlife. If you’re looking for the perfect mix of adrenaline-pumping adventure and rich cultural experiences, then the Telaga Waja Rafting & Ubud Tour is exactly what you need. This tour is designed for those who want to feel the rush of Telaga Waja River rafting and immerse themselves in the artistic and spiritual essence of Ubud, Bali’s cultural heart.
Why This Tour is Perfect for You
This Bali adventure tour is ideal for travelers who crave both excitement and deep cultural exploration. You’ll start your day conquering the rapids of Telaga Waja River, known for its thrilling Class III and IV rapids, and later unwind by discovering the tranquil beauty of Ubud’s rice terraces, temples, and art villages. Whether you’re an adventure junkie, a nature lover, or a cultural enthusiast, this experience offers the best of both worlds.
Telaga Waja River Rafting - The Ultimate Adrenaline Rush

The Telaga Waja River rafting experience is one of the most exciting outdoor adventures you can have in Bali. Unlike Ayung River rafting, which is known for its more relaxed course, Telaga Waja provides a longer, more exhilarating journey. Spanning 18 kilometers, this river offers crystal-clear water, sharp turns, and a heart-pounding 5-meter waterfall drop that will give you an unforgettable adrenaline rush.
Paddling through the lush rainforest, you’ll witness breathtaking landscapes, including hidden waterfalls, towering cliffs, and stunning rice terraces. The river flows from the slopes of Mount Agung, ensuring a natural and pristine environment. While the rapids are intense, they remain safe for beginners with the guidance of expert rafting instructors.
Discover the Beauty of Ubud
After an action-packed morning on the river, the tour continues to Ubud, a town known for its traditional Balinese culture, art, and spiritual charm. Here’s what you can expect:
Tegalalang Rice Terrace - A Breathtaking View

One of the most iconic landscapes in Bali, the Tegalalang Rice Terrace offers a mesmerizing sight of cascading green fields sculpted into the hills. You’ll get the chance to walk through the fields, interact with local farmers, and capture postcard-perfect photos of this UNESCO-recognized site. The tranquil surroundings provide a stark contrast to the thrilling morning on the Telaga Waja River.
Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary - Meet Bali’s Famous Monkeys

A visit to Ubud wouldn’t be complete without stopping by the Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary. This lush jungle sanctuary is home to hundreds of long-tailed macaques who roam freely around ancient temple ruins. It’s a fantastic place to experience Bali’s connection between nature and spirituality. Just make sure to keep your belongings secure, as the monkeys are known for their playful nature!
Ubud Art Villages - The Soul of Balinese Creativity

-
Celuk Village - Renowned for its silver and gold jewelry craftsmanship.
-
Mas Village - Known for intricate wood carvings created by skilled artisans.
-
Batik Workshops - Watch how traditional Balinese batik fabrics are made by hand.
