The raft slips from a low bank and the river takes you — slow, insistent, carrying the raft forward while the captain polishes the current with a long pole. For about 90 minutes travelers glide on a 30-foot bamboo raft, watching riverbanks of folded limestone and stands of broadleaf trees lean over the water as if to peer at the passengers.
