The raft eases away from a sun-warmed bank and the Lethe River takes the lead, pushing you through a corridor of palms and limestone outcrops. For a half-hour the current sets the pace; you sit low, feet skimming clear water, while a practiced raft captain polishes stories of the valley between strokes.

Wear water-friendly shoes
The raft and optional dips mean wet footing—closed-toe water shoes keep you secure on slippery banks.
Pack a waterproof phone case

Bring cash for local snacks and tips
Small vendors and your raft captain often accept cash only—carry small bills for drinks, snacks, and gratuities.

Mineral-rich springs are sensitive to chemical sunscreens—use reef-safe lotion or apply after your swim.
