A Proud Day on the River

Even a U.S. President Couldn't Resist the Ayung.

In June 2017, former U.S. President Barack Obama and his family joined us for a rafting trip down the Ayung River during their holiday in Bali. Five of our senior guides led them through the rapids from Bongkasa Pertiwi all the way to the Four Seasons Resort at Sayan — still one of our proudest days on the water.
