Sidemen: Private Rafting on Telaga Waja River with Lunch

Get ready for an unforgettable rafting adventure on the majestic Telaga Waja River, located in the scenic eastern region of Bali. This 2.5 to 3-hour white water rafting experience takes you on an 18-kilometer journey through one of the most beautiful and longest rafting routes in Bali, featuring a perfect mix of Class III and IV rapids, dramatic landscapes, and tranquil natural beauty.

Your adventure begins with a warm welcome from our professional team at the starting point. After a short safety briefing and paddle instructions from your certified rafting guide, gear up with all the necessary equipment provided — life jacket, helmet, and paddle — and get ready to hit the water!

As you begin your descent down the river, be prepared for an exciting combination of adrenaline-pumping rapids, breathtaking views, and peaceful sections that allow you to soak in the scenery.

Your rafting adventure concludes near the finish point where you’ll take a short uphill walk to reach our restaurant, offering panoramic views of rice paddies and cliffs. Here, you’ll have time to shower, change clothes, and then enjoy a well-deserved buffet lunch with a variety of delicious local dishes.
