Denpasar. Former US President Barack Obama and his family were spotted rafting on the Ayung River in Badung, Bali, on Monday (26/06), after arriving on the tropical island over the weekend.

Obama was seen wearing a white t-shirt, sunglasses and a red velvet jacket. The family's rafting session ended at the rear of the Four Seasons Resort in Sayan Village in Ubud, where the Obama family is currently lodging.

On Sunday, the family visited the Jatiluwih rice field terraces in Tabanan, which has been categorized as a world heritage site by Unesco.

The former president donned a casual blue polo shirt, while former First Lady Michelle was spotted in a baseball cap and vest, with her jacket tied around her waist.

The couple's youngest daughter Sasha wore a bright yellow baseball cap and white vest, while eldest daughter Malia was not seen.

"Obama met with local farmers. They also took some photos and had a chat," Jatiluwih Tourism operations manager I Nengah Sutirtayasa said, as quoted by Beritasatu.com.

The arrival of the 44th US president in the village also coincided with the 2017 Jatiluwih Agriculture Festival.

Earlier this weekend, the Obama family visited the Agung Rai Museum of Art (ARMA), where they were greeted with a traditional Balinese dance. The museum was first established in 1996 in a bid to preserve and develop Balinese art and culture.

Obama, who lived in Jakarta for a few years during his early childhood in the late 1960s, is scheduled to visit Yogyakarta and Jakarta later this week, where he will speak at the 4th Indonesian Diaspora Congress.
