Mist hits the river gorge as the minivan slips off the main road and down toward the Telaga Waja. Guides unload neoprene vests and bright helmets; the river answers with a steady roar — current that pushes and a series of rapids that force you to paddle hard, laugh hard, and hold on.

Hydrate before you go
Bring water and drink before boarding — you’ll expend energy paddling and sun exposure combined with river spray can dehydrate you quickly.
Secure footwear
Wear river shoes or strapped sandals to avoid losing footwear on rapids and to protect feet during river exits and the dam jump.
Protect your electronics
Use a waterproof case or leave cameras on shore; ask guides if there’s an operator taking photos to buy after the run.
Plan for changing weather
Mornings can be cooler in the gorge and afternoons humid — bring a light dry layer for post-raft comfort.
River shoes or sturdy sandals
Grip and protection for rocky riverbanks and during the dam jump.
Quick-dry clothes and change of clothes
You’ll be wet after the run; dry layers keep you comfortable for the return ride.
Waterproof camera or phone case
Capture action shots safely without risking electronics.
Reusable water bottle and sunscreen
Hydration and sun protection are essential during the day, especially in the lowland rice fields.
