My Bali, My Life – Learn from mistakes project
19 Feb
Located in Petanu River,Ubud,Bali, this new outdoor adventure really rushed my adrenaline & boosted up my spirit. Closer to nature, that’s what I wanted, Bayu-my ex co worker needed a model for the brochure of this new product. And Bart wants to try being an adventure photographer on the river along with his friend, Yanson (a medical doctor whose biggest passion is IT & Photography).
December 2007. So we do this tour trial. Safety briefing is a must. I used to work at SOBEK Bali-another adventure tour operator in the island that has rafting, cycling, trekking, and 4WD adventure, and I feel like going rafting without the raft boat and paddle. It’s a fantastic mix of trekking, swimming, physical challenge !
It’s extremely fun, and the hardest part is to walk against the water current. Several stops at waterfalls, cave,clear mountain spring water make all these fatigue, muscle ache, and slips worthwhile!!
This tour ended after 2 hours of exhausting water adventure, by arriving at this breathtaking view from Natura Resort lobby, up hill. A Balinese Nasi Campur lunch concluded my day.
If you want to try this outdoor adventure sport, make sure your are on your top fitness level on the day of the trip. What to bring & wear : river sandal is the best, t-shirt, short, swim or wet suit,change of clothes, sunscreen, hat,camera.
COME ON, COME TO BALI!!!

I will never forget this moment, especially when Yanson’s Olympus camera fell into the water
) .. he was very shock because the camera is still brand new. Fortunately it’s fine.
