About this tour

What to expect

You'll be kitted with helmet, life jacket, and paddle before launching into a sustained stretch of Class II-III whitewater. The river twists through dense jungle with occasional plunge pools and small falls. Your guide reads the current and calls paddle strokes; expect genuine effort and genuine splash. The pace is brisk but never frantic—guides keep groups safe rather than chasing adrenaline. Once off the water, change rooms and a basic buffet awaits, nothing fancy but filling. Total time including transfers is three hours.

Good to know

Not suitable if you have spinal issues, are pregnant, or have cardiovascular concerns. All fitness levels can manage the paddle; strength matters less than willingness to follow instructions. Bring a change of clothes and secure valuables before launch. The one-hour buffer covers hotel pickups and travel to the put-in point.
