Option 1 – Bohorok River Tubing (Gentle Adventure)
Perfect for all ages & experience levels
Relax and enjoy the jungle’s rhythm on this fun, gentle rafting journey down the Bohorok River, known for its clear waters and stunning tropical scenery.
This trip uses eco-friendly “jungle-style” rafts — large, recycled inner tubes tied together by our skilled guides — a traditional and sustainable way of navigating the river.
You’ll float approximately 5 km downstream, passing lush jungle, local farms, and maybe even spotting monkeys or hornbills along the way.
A soft adventure ideal for families, couples, and travelers looking to unwind while connecting with nature.
