Hi all!
Off to Bali in April/May for my sister's wedding, a family reunion and lots of fun with my husband and 5 children.
Would love to do WWR. Hubby and I did it 5 years ago and remember it as great fun, exciting but not scary, with a drop over a weir wall at the end! Not sure which river that was?
Questions....
*Which river is most suitable for children (aged between 10 and 15)?
*Which is a reputable and safe company?
*I have read many messages about WWR and the number of steps, alot of the posts even contradicting each other! I would love to be able to take my father rafting with us but there is no way he could handle 100s of steps. Has anyone been rafting with Bali International Rafting recently and can confirm the small number of steps at the beginning and end of the trip? I read they have built a new restaurant at the end and it is only about 20 steps to it???
*I assume it is best to barter the best price from the street stalls once in Bali? How easy is it to confirm an exact company when booking like this? ie. If BIR have few steps I want to be absolutely certain that we will be booked with this company.
Thanks everyone!
