07.30: Depart Bali Bintang Hotel to arrive at Rafting start points by 09.30
Choose between Rafting the easier Ayung River (Grade 2-3 grade rapids) OR the more challenging Telaga Waja river (Grade 3-4 rapids)
Both rivers take you through some of the most stunning scenery in Bali with towering waterfalls, high cliffs and lush river valleys along with exhilarating rapids and some calming flat water sections.
Note: the lower number or Grade, the easier the rapids. Both rivers have some exciting sections for those who have not rafted much (or at all). If your children are 10 or under we recommend the Ayung River option.
Lunch is included with your rafting.

12.30-13.00: Drive to Villa Jempana. As we come to the top of the caldera outer rim at Kintamani you will be met by a view that you will never forget as you first look out over Mt Batur, Lake Batur, the lava flows, villages within the caledra and towering mountains in the distance, including the mother of all Bali’s mountains, Mt Agung
The drive time is approximately 1 hour 15 minutes.

14.30: Arrive Villa Jempana
Villa Jempana provides the ideal lakeside location with easy access to your activities, large comfortable rooms, swimming pool and restaurant .

16.00-17.30
Get ready for some excitement as you explore the trails and lower slopes of Mt Batur on an ATV/Quad bike. We think this is by far the best location for Quad Biking in Bali.

Note:
• The minimum age to drive the ATV/Quad Bike is 15 so all under 15’s must ride tandem.
• When operated carefully, ATV's/Quad bikes are safe however like any vehicle they can be dangerous if operated carelessly or by those inexperienced operating machinery. Therefore if you have a family member 15+ it may still not be appropriate to self drive if the person has little or no experience operating any types of vehicles.
• The operator, Balad, is experienced operating these tours and has selected ATV/Quad Bike routes and operating procedures with safety foremost in mind so please follow their instructions and you should have a great and safe time
Dinner: Villa Jempana (included)

Morning: Hike Mt Batur Volcano within the Kintamani Caldera. With good reason, this is the most popular hike in Bali and can easily be done with a moderate level of fitness. If the skies are clear, you will have unforgettable views of the caldera, lava flows from eruptions back in the early 1960’s, Lake Batur & Bali’s biggest mountain, Mt Agung.
Note: Guests can choose to do the early sunrise hike (leaving at around 5.00am) or get up a little later and do the hike around 7.30-8.00.
If the sunrise is not important to you, we like the later hike as most of the other hikers have finished by then or on their way back down the mountain.

10.30 (approximately) Have brunch at Villa Jempana after hike then at about 11.30 drive to Munduk (taking scenic northern route through mountains)

14.30: Arrive at Lesong Hotel
Lesong Hotel is tucked away in a quiet village of the Munduk Valley in north central Bali. This area has exquisite views to the west of Bali and is a place few tourists visit. With its comfortable rooms, friendly staff and peaceful ambience we are sure you will appreciate the tranquillity of a night at Lesong
Optional rice fields walk or local cycle on your own before sunset
Dinner: Lesong Hotel (included)

Morning Choose between Canyoning or one of the activities listed below.

Canyoning Bali are a very professional, experienced and safe operator that has selected the best river valleys in the Gitgit area of north Bali. If you are not clear what Canyoning is, it’s the process of moving through the natural environment of a Canyon using various methods including walking, rappelling (abseiling) jumping, swimming, scrambling and sliding.
It's great fun, sometimes a challenge and puts you in close contact with your natural environment.
We highly recommend the Canyoning experience however please see note below and also be aware that there is a $45/person extra charge for this option.

PLEASE NOTE: whilst Canyoning Bali (the operator) has taken children under 10, most children would need to be at least 10 years old and they’d need to be very adventurous and unafraid of heights to be able to do this. Whilst the abseiling is not difficult, it requires confidence and the ability to descend cliffs up to 15m, sometimes whilst also being hit by water from a waterfall. You know your family and its limitations the best, however if you have young children and are interested in Canyoning, please talk with us and we can jointly have a discussion with Canyoning Bali to come up with the best plan for your family needs. For more details about Canyoning go to the "Activities" section in the menu above and select "Canyoning".

Note: Canyoning Bali is a 50 minute drive from Lesong Hotel
If you do not want to so Canyoning then please choose between Cycling and Hiking in the Munduk Valley (operated by the Lesong Hotel)
