Pakerisan River Tubing by Gekko Adventure with Lunch

<p>The Pakerisan River winds through Tampaksiring in central Bali, and this tubing route covers 4.5 kilometres of it, run in partnership with the Tampaksiring Tourism Village. You'll ride an inflatable tube through 7 rapids rated class II+, bouncing between calmer stretches and quicker white water as the river cuts through the surrounding countryside. The trip is set up for a wide range of ages, with guests between 5 and 64 years old able to take part.</p><p>What sets this stretch of river apart is the clarity of the water — a feature the Pakerisan is known for locally, and one that makes the whole trip feel more like a swim through the landscape than a typical rafting run. The 1.5-hour tubing session covers the full route, after which lunch is served, giving you a chance to refuel and dry off before heading back out into the day.</p><p>Tickets are split between international and domestic (KITAS) pricing, both of which include the tubing session and the lunch that follows. It's a half-day activity rather than a full-day commitment, making it easy to slot into a wider day of sightseeing around Tampaksiring.</p>

After checking in, you'll be fitted with safety gear and given a briefing on how to handle the tube through the rapids ahead. From there it's a short transfer to the river's starting point, where you'll settle into your inflatable tube and set off down the Pakerisan. The 1.5-hour route covers 4.5 kilometres and 7 class II+ rapids, alternating between quick bursts through white water and slower drifts where you can take in the clear water and the countryside around Tampaksiring.
