You push off from a narrow riverbank and the current takes you—sunlight skipping across the water while the rainforest presses close. Tubes bob lazily through calm pools, then the river dares you into short, splashy Class II rapids that jolt the pace and grin. Midway there’s a sandy ledge for a swim and a popular rope swing; the guide times the run so the float alternates between easy drifting and playful whitewater.
