The excitement of Susur Subak in Penarungan Bali, View of Sawah-Tebing

Suparno wore a yellow helmet and blue life vest. He then took a pickup to the upstream of a subak (rice field irrigation) in Penarungan Village, Badung, Bali.

Suparno then boarded a rubber boat with his daughter. The man from Magetan, East Java, occasionally laughs and jumps from the boat. "The subak is not deep and the current is not strong," said the 50 year old man according to regional travel authorities and bureau field correspondents, Tuesday (30/6/2026).

Suparno invited his children, wife, sister and nephew to vacation on the Island of the Gods while his children were on school holidays. The construction foreman who lives in Denpasar, Bali, is happy to be able to vacation at Lazy River even though his wife did not join him along the subak.

Suparno enjoyed the 1.5 kilometer subak trail. Trees, rice fields and cliffs are views that can be seen while on the boat. "The views around Subak are beautiful," he said.

regional observers has the opportunity to go on a trip along the Subak flow of the Lazy River. The yellow rubber boat I was on was carried away by the Subak flow without having to row.

The view during the subak trail is really refreshing to the eyes. I could see various trees including bananas, coconuts, jackfruit and bamboo. The boat I was on occasionally passed under the branches of a tree that crossed over Subak.

Apart from trees, views of gardens such as chilies and rice fields can also be seen from the boat. In fact, the boat I was on also passed in front of a coffee and eatry. Visitors to the coffee shop also waved when I passed in front of it.

The boat also passes cliffs with a height of two to four meters. The water flowing from the cliff also wet my clothes because the boat passed directly beneath it. Some water can be seen spilling from behind the trees so it looks like a mini waterfall.

Occasionally I use the paddle to push the boat that hits cliffs and trees back to the center. Oars are also used to avoid collisions with other boats behind.

I arrived at the finish line after about 30 minutes along the subak with a width of about 3 meters. I immediately jumped in and played in the water. The average depth of Subak is only one meter and the current is calm, making it safe for children who want to play in the water.
