Dry season (May–September) for more predictable conditions and easier access. The wet season (November–March) increases river flow for stronger rapids but can bring heavy rain and occasional closures.

Tropical climate: warm and humid year-round. Typical daytime temperatures 24–32°C (75–90°F). Short, heavy showers common in the wet season.

Launch sites are accessed by paved roads from Ubud (about 20–45 minutes depending on exact start point) and Ngurah Rai (Denpasar) Airport (~1–1.5 hours). Public transport is limited — most travelers arrange hotel transfers or private drivers included by operators. Note: getting to the riverbank often requires stairs or short walks; not fully wheelchair accessible. Minimum age and weight limits vary by operator (commonly age 7+ and max weight limits around 100–120 kg).

Half-day (3–4 hours) including transfers, briefing and post-raft lunch. Allow a full day if combining with Ubud sightseeing or additional activities.

Wear quick-dry clothing or swimwear, secure water shoes or sandals with straps, sunscreen, a hat and a change of clothes. Bring a waterproof case or GoPro for photos. Most operators provide helmets, life jackets and paddles.

After rafting, sample regional dishes in Ubud such as nasi campur, bebek betutu or babi guling (where available). Try local coffee (including local roasts rather than expensive gimmicks), and shop Ubud for wood carvings, batik, silver jewelry and handmade crafts as souvenirs.
