Overview

A perfect adventure package for those who can't decide between volcano trekking and white water rafting. Enjoy the best of both worlds: a sunrise volcano trek up glorious Mount Batur and its incredible views. Then, get ready for a thrill as you head down either the Telaga Waja or Ayung river for white water rafting. Doing both is almost too much fun for one day.

A fun and safe adventure for the entire family with our licensed and local guides. This is a 5-star trek with Bali's most experienced Batur trekking guides. Be sure to bring your camera because you'll be making memories you'll cherish for a lifetime.

We'll pick you up from your hotel in an air conditioned van. There, you'll meet your English-speaking guide who will brief you on safety procedures as well as the history and culture of the local area. Mount Batur is part of the UNESCO Global Geopark Network and an active volcano.

You'll begin your ascent while it's still dark at Toya Bungkah village under a blanket of a million stars. Our guide will provide you with working flashlights for your safety. You'll reach the summit in plenty of time to capture the sunrise over the beautiful lava valley. Here, our guide will help you get the best photo opportunities and provide you with water, coffee, tea and a meal cooked over hot steam from the volcano. You'll then wind your way around the crater and back to the village where you'll board the bus to the river.

Before you leave, the guide will give you informed options on two different rivers, the Telaga Waja and the Ayung. You'll get to choose which river suits your preference. After a short ride, you'll arrive at the river where you'll meet your river guides and undergo additional safety checks and basic rafting instructions before you climb into your raft and embark on the second part of your adventure.

You'll spend two hours enjoying class II and class III rapids on the Ayung, or class III and IV if you choose the Telaga Waja — as well as more of the Bali jungle and scenery. In addition to the wildlife and nature, you'll also see majestic waterfalls and ancient stone carvings.

You'll end your rafting adventure near the town of Ubud where you'll receive a welcome beverage. By now, you've worked up quite an appetite, so once everyone is dried off and ready, you'll make one last stop for an Indonesian buffet lunch. After lunch you'll be taken back to your hotel where you'll have time to wind down by the pool or even do some sunbathing at the beach.
