Ayung River Ubud is the top choice for Bali rafting with young kids because it is a relatively calm river with Class I and II rapids. The white water rafting operator there allows those aged 5-7 to participate, as long as they are accompanied by an adult. The river is also beautiful, with lush rainforests and rice terraces lining the banks. It is a great way to see the countryside and have some fun at the same time.
