You get what you pay for.
I bought this experience in one of those information booths that are so common in Ubud . Advertised 2 Hr rafting experience and a lunch. The price for two came very cheap and I had to check reviews on internet just to see that this is reputable safe company. It was so I happily went along.
Got picked up at 9am and dropped off to their office where we were fitted. Customer service was pretty much non existent. Very little english spoken and I had to ask for any information. After drop off to the river, be prepared to go down a lot of steps; the one person operating everything tried to start a diesel generator to star pumping the air. Took a while. Looked extremely amateurish I have to say. After few attempts he got it going although it died on him once. We got a 5 minute safety talk, commands for go, back, left, right and how to squat for any drops (There aren't any drops, it's quite a safe, timid river).
It was fun, beautiful scenery, very safe as the river was not unpredictable in any way. I enjoyed the experience, it's actually a great river for a beginner.
After one hour and 7 kms we got to the end, it looked like other companies on the river had much longer experience then 1hr of rafting. It felt like the guy was rushing is all the time paddling hard to overtake over boats. Quick lunch and we were dropped off to hotel room in no time. I did not like the driver they used, in a hurry and felt unsafe on the road with the car with no belts fitted. I used lots of drivers in Bali and he was the most aggressive and unsafe.
Don't expect fireworks. I got exactly what I paid for and certainly am not disappointed. But please do your research and be aware of the type of experience this might be for you. - via
We have had a good experience with this dive centre. Used it for our one day dive trip to Museum of Underwater Art at GBR. The diving museum is small and will take you no longer then 10-15 minutes but the John Brewer Reef is next to it and you will end up diving there for your two dives. We also hired some stinger suits there to do some snorkelling around Magnetic Island.
Overall we had a good experience and a good day of diving. The crew was professional and looked after us well. We had two dive masters with us on the dive. The great weather helped a lot as you need to be aware that the trip is at least two hours one way on a boat. There is enough space on it and it has got a marine toilet which helps a lot. I can imagine however that in more rough conditions that trip can be uncomfortable.
Overall, I would recommend it to do that trip once you are on the island itself, not worth going specifically for it, but if you are there then it can be a great day out.
If you can combine it with Yongala wreck then it would be even better experience - via
