possible on request |

Rafting we offer at upper Alas river for 2 – 3 hours, depending on water conditions. Rafting Safari starts south of Kutacane down the Alas river for 3 days and 2 nights through mainly pristine rainforest, but with few rapids only. 3-days rafting trip ends at Gelombang. At present we explore, if we can go further down to Singkil and offer transfer from Singkil to Pulau Banyak, since there has been huge improvement of tourist infrastructure during recent years on these lovely islands and you can find beautiful nature over there.
Parallel we try to explore the Kuala Tripa river for rafting, but this is a huge challenge in terms of logistics and especially the dufficult rapids, which require high skilledness. For more details and updated info please
