Your next adventure – Elo River rafting. This is where the fun really begins! Upon arrival, you will receive a full safety briefing and rafting gear (life jacket, helmet, and paddle). Together with your small group and a professional river guide, you’ll set off on a rafting journey that mixes calm stretches of river with exciting rapids. The Elo River is perfect for first-time rafters and offers just the right balance of fun and adrenaline without being too extreme.

After your rafting adventure, you can shower and change before the return trip. Sit back and relax in the shared vehicle as your driver takes you safely back to Yogyakarta.
