The raft drops away from the riverbank and the Great River begins to pull you forward, reed and palm fronds brushing the air like an audience. A 30-foot bamboo raft glides quietly under a low canopy; the raft captain uses a long pole to read currents and steer, while nearby birds mark your passage with sharp calls.
