Gitgit Canyon Canyoning: Slides, Jumps & Abseils Near Ubud
Navigate volcanic-cut gorges, optional jumps and short abseils on a family-friendly canyoning run near Ubud. Guided, gear-included and door-to-door, this is Bali’s accessible canyoning pick.
The Experience
Before You Go
Wear secure water shoes
Closed-toe, grippy water shoes prevent slips on wet volcanic rock and improve traction during slides and swims.
Jumps are optional
Guides will show alternatives — avoid jumping if you’re unsure or have any injury concerns.
Bring a small waterproof camera
The operators provide photo/video options, but a personal waterproof camera captures perspectives guides can’t.
Hydrate and eat lightly beforehand
You’ll get breakfast and lunch, but start well-hydrated and avoid heavy meals right before activity.
