Float down Lethe on a hand-built bamboo raft accompanied by reggae rhythms, local stories, and a traditional limestone foot rub. This easy, culture-rich river experience blends slow-moving water with hands-on island hospitality.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
The raft slides away from the reed-lined bank and the valley exhales — you float through a canyon of green while reggae threads through the air. A 30-foot hand-crafted bamboo raft, piloted by a long-practiced captain, carries small groups slowly down Lethe’s gentle current. Coconut halves bob alongside, and at intervals the captain points out native trees and a roadside village where children wave.
