The ride - is pretty easy, but can be really fun for small rafts and kayaks. The course is short, so you can run it in a few hours and have more activities afterward.
Access is near the road and the water is especially clear in the cool season, although it can get shallow in spots.
This is an excellent area for mountain biking, elephant trekking, forest trekking and visiting waterfalls.
