      TravelerWritten November 2025

      is this similar to rafting? If yes is it compulsory? I'm non swimmer and avoiding water 'activities' and 'sports'.

    • Discover SumatraOperatorWritten November 2025

      it is more like tubing. You sit in big tubes, our guides navigate the water. You don't have to paddle or so.
