The Experience

Before You Go

Check the weight limits

Zipline operators commonly enforce a 40–110 kg range—confirm before booking to avoid surprises.

Bring grip-friendly water shoes

Rafting and trail sections are slippery; closed-toe water shoes with a secure sole improve safety and comfort.

Protect electronics

Use a small waterproof dry bag or phone pouch during rafting and zipline runs to prevent water damage.

Pace your hydration

Tropical heat and physical activity add up—drink before and after rafting and carry a refillable bottle on transfer vehicles.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Ask guides for lesser-seen terrace viewpoints reached by short farm paths
  • Stop at a local warung for kopi tubruk (local coffee) after the tour for an authentic palate reset

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque
  • Kingfisher species

Conservation Note

Support guides who follow ‘stay on path’ rules and avoid stepping on rice paddies; reduce single-use plastics and respect local water sources.

The terraces are part of Bali’s subak irrigation tradition—an age-old cooperative water-management system that shaped local agriculture and social rituals.
