This day takes the opposite approach to sporting rafting: the bamboo raft is poled down the river, with no rapids and no paddling. The transfer leaves your hotel and the first stop is the turtle conservation centre, where you visit the tanks of rescued sea turtles. Then comes the descent itself, sitting on the bamboo, at water level and among the trees. It is the calmest of our rafting programmes, with no white water and no quad course.

Lunch is served next, followed by a tasting of fresh seasonal fruit. The afternoon gives half an hour with the camp's elephants, to get close, feed them and take photographs, then goes on to the Monkey Cave and its macaques. A last stop at the waterfalls, where swimming is possible, before the transfer back to the hotel. Transfer, guide, insurance, lunch and snacks are included, life jacket provided.

Good to know: a child rate applies from 4 to 11, at 38 € instead of 42 €, and it is free under 4. It is applied when your request is confirmed.

A full day out, leaving around 7am and back around 4pm.
