KALI RIVER RAPIDS

Needing to cool off? Then a visit to Kali River Rapids is just the thing! Artifacts direct from the Asian continent and native birds can be seen as you head towards the raft dock. Once there, you'll board your 12-seater circular raft and float out into the turbulent waters of Chakranadi River for a wild, wet ride through a jungle habitat jeopardized by illegal logging. A jasmine-scented mist begins your journey and you climb upwards into the headwaters. Before long however, your on the way down again and contending with the swirling rapids and unexpected drops. You'll pass by ancient temple ruins and a barren smokey landscape where illegal logging is underway, causing your raft to drift perilously close to a tangled arch of burning wood. Many more twists, turns and splashes await (not to mention one or two surprises) before your return to the safety of the dock. But be warned, you will get wet!
