What to expect
You'll be collected from your accommodation and driven to the lake's edge, where you board a wooden dugout canoe for a peaceful crossing. The paddling itself is gentle, but expect a moderate walk through forest paths to reach the spiritual landmarks tucked amongst the trees. The jungle is dense and cool—bring a light layer. After exploring the sites, you'll return to the canoe and paddle back. Lunch happens mid-tour at a local warung-style spot with simple, filling food. The entire experience moves at a relaxed pace, though the forest walking requires reasonable fitness and sure footing.
Good to know
Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have heart concerns. Wear proper footwear for muddy forest trails and bring sun protection for the lake crossing. Water and meals are provided. Arrive in comfortable clothes you don't mind getting damp.
