Beyond the temples and rice terraces, Bali offers an exhilarating range of outdoor adventures. Here are the island’s top experiences for those who love a rush of adrenaline.

The most popular adventure activity in Bali, Ayung River rafting takes you through 10 kilometres of jungle gorge with Grade II–III rapids. Stunning scenery and accessible for most fitness levels.
2. Mount Batur Sunrise Trek
The classic Bali volcano hike begins at 2 AM and reaches the summit just in time for sunrise over Lake Batur and Mount Agung. The two-hour ascent is steep but manageable for most hikers.
