About
Quick facts: A winding river loved for its gentle bamboo rafting experience lets visitors float past lush tropical forests. The river is named after a legendary runaway slave who once hid along its banks, adding a layer of local history and mystery.
Highlights: Paddle down on narrow bamboo rafts smoothly guided by skilled raft captains using long poles through calm water and shaded groves. The serene sound of flowing water paired with occasional birdcalls creates a peaceful, almost meditative atmosphere unique to this spot.
