Morning departure for cooler water
Choose the morning slot to avoid the strongest sun and get crisper views of terraces and forests.
Wear secure water footwear
Closed water shoes or sandals with straps prevent foot injuries on slippery rocks during launch and exit.
Use a waterproof pouch
Bring a sealed dry pouch for your phone, cards, and small valuables—loose items aren’t safe on the raft.
Bring local cash
Entrance fees for the Monkey Forest and tips for guides are easiest to pay with rupiah on hand.
Closed water shoes
Protect feet on slippery launch and river rocks and provide grip in the raft.
Quick-dry clothing

Waterproof phone pouch
Keeps electronics safe and allows you to photograph the run without risk.
Light rain shell
