You push off into a river channel carved into high volcanic banks; spray throws cool beads across your helmet and the current seems to dare you into the next set of rapids.

Arrive hydrated and light
Drink water before boarding and leave heavy bags in the provided lockers—raft time is best with minimal gear.
Wear secure footwear
Rubber-soled water shoes or sandals with straps prevent lost footwear during rapids and on wet temple paths.
