Our driver Surata was great! Got us from point A to point B with a smile. Our guides on the water were also amazing, they were so sweet and took great photos! The river was an easy float, I would say this could be done by everyone. Now the stairs down on the other hand, there were quite a bit, if you’re not great with stairs I would probably pass ;)
Excellent from the start to the finish. Our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable. The guide was also friendly and fun. Very good activity for families
From the pick up to the drop off at the hotel everything went perfect. We got some nice views and a good cool down in the river at the end of our rafting trip. In the middle of the tour we could get something to drink or to eat, was nice. To finish off, we got some good food at the rafting station. After that, our driver picked us up and took us to another location, for free, to enjoy the view there. Before bringing us back to the hotel. All in one, everything was well organised and planned.
Such a fun experience! My boyfriend and I went and had the best time. It is very good value for the price, and all of the guides were very nice and helpful. The river is busy as there are a lot of other companies who do rafting there, however we found that this added to the experience! We got to meet and have fun with the other groups who were doing it. Would really reccomend it! Would reccomend wearing flip flops/sandles! We wore sneakers and definitely regretted it. There is a bit of walk down/up, but it's not difficult and flip flops are fine for it. Also, the photos that they take are really good and it is only $250k for the photo package (a lot cheaper than other experience places).
From the very start, this was an amazing experience! Surata, our driver that picked us up from the hotel made everything so easy, getting there early and helping us with all of our stuff. He was so incredibly kind, pointing out cool things along the way and becoming a friend in the short time we were with him. Once we arrived he guided us through the process and we met our rafting guide, Andhy, who was just as great! Even as beginners, Andhy showed us the way and made us feel so safe as we played in the rapids and took in the incredible jungle around us. He was even kind enough to take a photo for us at the end! The entire team made this a magical experience, I couldn’t help but want to go again it was so fun! A huge thank you to Surata and Andhy!!
Our local driver Aril was very nice and helpful with our transport to and from our atv tour. Would highly recommend using Aril to anyone
Wayan Kartika is very friendly and helpful. He knows the area very well. :)
Dear Stacyo, Thank you so much for taking the time to leave us this lovely review! We are so happy to hear that you enjoyed your white water rafting experience with us. Wayan Kartika will be so glad to hear your kind words! He loves sharing his knowledge of the area and always goes the extra mile to keep our guests safe and happy. We hope to welcome you back for more fun adventures in the future! Warm regards, Galuh
The tour operator is very accommodating and allowed us to join another tour since we were unable to make it at the booked time. It’s a bit hard to catch them on the chat but they eventually do. They have decent facility for showering after. The rafting in itself was decent. For those who have rafted earlier, the currents are not at all strong. It’s a very slow paced, 5 year old friendly raft activity. Additionally, it’s made slower by other factors. The tour operator could have segregated the families with children from solo or couples. Not doing so resulted in less people paddling on the raft and being relatively slow in speed, thus resulting in more effort and less thrill.
Hi Urvashi_G, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback with us. We truly appreciate your patience regarding our communication and are so glad we could accommodate your schedule change so you didn’t miss out on the experience! We also appreciate your honest perspective on the river currents. Our rafting route is indeed designed to be a scenic, family-friendly experience accessible to all ages, including children. However, your suggestion regarding the segregation of groups (families vs. couples/solo travelers) is excellent feedback. We understand how the paddling dynamic affects the speed and "thrill," and we will certainly discuss this with our operations team to see how we can better balance our rafts in the future. It's great to know you found the shower facilities decent and our team helpful. We hope to have the chance to welcome you back for another adventure soon! Best regards, Galuh
Wayan was a great driver. But, he is not just a regular driver, he brings great knowledge about the area. I highly recommend booking with him to make your visit memorable!
Hi Noel_A, thank you so much for the wonderful recommendation! We are thrilled to hear that Wayan made your visit so memorable. We take great pride in our team’s local knowledge, and it’s wonderful to know that Wayan’s insights added that extra special touch to your experience. I’ll be sure to pass your kind words along to him! We hope to see you again soon. Regards, Galuh
We arrived at 8:45 AM as instructed to complete paperwork and store our belongings. Although advertised as a private tour, we were required to wait for additional participants, which was not clearly explained on Tripadvisor. We waited until around 9:40 AM before finally heading down to the rafting area. The rafting itself was the highlight and very enjoyable. However, the mid-way stop felt unnecessary, especially with people smoking and overpriced food and drinks. After finishing, we also had to wait about 20 minutes for transportation back, unlike other companies that were ready immediately. Overall, 3 stars. The tour guide was great. High energy and lots of personality.
Dear josephmask24, Thank you for sharing your detailed feedback. We are pleased to hear that the rafting itself was a highlight and that you enjoyed the high energy and personality of your guide! However, I want to sincerely apologize for the frustrations you experienced regarding the wait times. While we strive to keep things moving, I understand how disappointing it is to wait nearly an hour past your scheduled start time, especially when you expected a private experience. We will be reviewing our booking descriptions on TripAdvisor and our dispatch process to ensure clearer communication and better punctuality. Regarding the mid-way stop, we appreciate your honesty. This break is intended to give guests a rest, but we take your comments about the atmosphere and pricing seriously as we look to improve the quality of the entire journey. We also hear you on the delay with the return transport and will work with our logistics team to ensure we are as prompt as our competitors. We value your input as it helps us grow, and we hope you might give us another chance to provide a truly seamless 5 star adventure in the future. Best regards, Galuh
