Enjoyed the tubing - fairly tame but fun. We did have to wait around for a while afterwards for the promised ride to town.
The meeting instructions were a bit vague for our Uber driver, and then we had to wait for ages before we were collected.

Guides were great. Peaceful and cool! We were the only 3 tubs on the river. Do it.

Not being able to participate in water rafting due to lack of numbers, I opted for river tubing instead. My initial thoughts of water tubing was just sitting in a inflated round tube and floating down the river while bumping off all the rocks and bouncing over rapids. I have never been so wrong. The tubes used were shaped in figure of eight so could accommodate up to two persons. For one person, you sit in front.

After a quick lesson on controlling the tube and capsize drills, its was time to start tubing. Instruction from the guide was very simple, just follow him. Easy enough... In the water, controlling the tube did not seem to be as simple as expected. I have done canoeingkayaking before, but the tube does not response the same. On the smooth sections of the river, it was just relax and float with the currents while pointing the tube forward and enjoying the forest view. On reaching rocks and rapids, just paddle and hope you get where you want to. Sometimes you win, but most of the time you do not. I always seem to going in the opposite direction of the guide. It was pure enjoyable chaos.

At the end of the course, the score was a couple of capsizes more like five and getting stuck once behind a fallen log. River tubing is so much more than what I had expected. To sum it all, its a mixtures of peacefully drifting with the current, then struggling for control and bouncing over rocks and holding on through rapids. I am glad I was not able to take up rafting and ending up tubing instead.
