What to expect

You'll start with gear fitting and a safety briefing from your guides, then paddle into the river for 90 minutes of steady floating and paddling. The rapids are genuine but manageable—choppy enough to feel the rush, not so violent you'll tip regularly. Between rapids, the river settles and you'll drift past villages, rice paddies, and limestone cliffs. After the final rapid, guides lead you back to the basecamp. Lunch arrives wet-hair-and-hungry time: a proper Indonesian spread. Showers and changing rooms let you rinse off before heading back to your hotel.
