The Lethe River slips through dappled shade, carrying a 30-foot bamboo raft and two people’s quiet conversation downstream. Guides pole the raft with practiced ease, and the water moves like a deliberate companion, nudging you through low limestone banks and past fruit trees that lean over the current as if to listen.

Wear secure, water-friendly shoes
The raft is stable but you’ll step on wet river banks and stones—closed-toe water shoes or sandals with straps protect feet and grip slippery surfaces.
Use reef-safe sunscreen
Apply biodegradable sunscreen before boarding to protect your skin and the river ecosystem; reapply on land as needed.
Bring a dry bag and ID
Keep your phone, cash, and small valuables dry; some spots for photos are shallow but splash-prone.
Consider motion sensitivity
The raft glides slowly but can rock when guides pole around bends—sit toward the center if you’re prone to motion sickness.
