You push off from a narrow bank and the bamboo raft answers with a low creak as it slips into slow, green water. Overhead, rainforest arms lean close; sunlight dapples the river and the raft captain’s voice threads local stories into the hush. The current here is gentle — a deliberate pace that asks you to look and listen.

Wear quick-dry footwear
Choose closed-toe water shoes with grip; riverbanks and raft decks can be slippery when boarding or stepping off.

Use reef-safe sunscreen and repellent
Apply biodegradable sunscreen and light insect repellent before boarding to protect skin and the environment.
