Had a great trip rafting on 05/01/05 up at Ubud. The name of the company was PT Bahama Rafting. We were told it was suitable for 'grannies'. I was accompanied by a friend of mine (both of us in late 30's early 40's) and her 2 children aged 10 and 12. The 12 year girl was scarred stiff. We had an absolute ball. The worst part was the 400 BIG steps down to the river and the 200 BIG steps back up. The rafting lasted 2 hours and the scenery was breathtaking - seeing all the new resorts being built up above us etc. The cost was 225,000rp (half price?). I booked through an agent on the beach front at Sanur - sure any agent can help you - was a discounted price. We were picked up at hotel, the driver and later the guide was wonderful and the lunch/tea(depends what time of the day you go) was great. I can hardly wait to go again. The rapids were moderate but still enough to have you hanging on for grim death. Highly recommended.
