Solo and tandem quad bikes are available, while hotel pickup requires the right booking option.

“Excellent experience. Our guide was fantastic and kept us amused for the two hours of rafting. He made sure we were all okay. There are a lot of stairs(348) going down to the river and 343 coming up. Halfway up I was struggling (asthma) he waited while I took my medication and helped me up the rest of the stairs, ran across the street for water for me and let me rest before heading back. Amazing human being. Can not say enough about this experience❤️ The company is very efficient and organized.”
You’ll raft the Telaga Waja River with a professional guide such as Noman or Yoman, tackling moderate rapids, steep drops, waterfalls, and stone cliffs. The 2.5 to 3-hour run suits families and first-timers, and includes safety gear, showers, towels, coffee, and an Indonesian buffet lunch.
“Amazing experience! Beautiful scenery, not too scary but enough white water to have a few laughs, go under some waterfalls and be very enjoyable. There’s a few bumps into rocks but nothing the average person can’t handle. It’s 18km over about 2.5-3 hours with a couple of rest stops on the way and opportunities to purchase drinks & snacks. Only improvement would be the specified time. They say 9-12, but it was more like 10-1x so don’t book anything immediately after.”

“Great value and fun. We were picked up on time in a nice car and taken to the base which is a bit of a drive from the river. The base has the life jackets, showers and lockers and is where you have the lunch. We were taken by a sort of truck to the top of the valley and then had to walk down steep steps to the river. (Down was easy, up was harder work ! but there was no pressure to go quickly and plenty of spaces to have a breather if you needed it). Guide Wayan was a good mix of fun and looking out for…”
