Healing and Refreshing Your Soul with Rafting

Guys, did you have some activities that really able to heal and refresh your soul from stress or bad mood?

Really! You should try this activity: Rafting! An amazing adventure!

GI believes there are many places and organizers that provide this kind activity around the world. GI tried one at Citarik, Sukabumi (Indonesia) by Arus Liar ( http://www.arusliar.co.id ) with relatively medium price.

We went to the place with 10 friends. We arranged by ourselves and rented a mini-bus to get there on weekend. We paid IDR 350,000 / pax for all (rafting, mini-bus, photos, breakfast + lunch, and FUN) At the beginning, because this was the first time in doing this adventure, GI think it would be fun like other adventures, however, in fact, GI was really amazed with this eventful adventure!

We followed the 13-km-river by 3 boats in 3 hours. On our way, we faced many solid rocks through quick and wild river stream.

One thing that we needed to keep and never forget was our team work for each boat. Sometimes we got stuck between rocks. In this situation, each boat passenger was needed to think quickly how to get out from there before something bad happens. Sometimes also, because of the stream, our boat got hard impacts. These could bring one or more of your boat passengers were thrown away. This situation often made us got panicked. Not only because of the impact, but mostly because our friends were moved out from one rock to another rock quickly, grabbing anything firmly and waiting for our help.

Beside these hectic-fun-and-challenging situations, there were beautiful nature point of views also. The river was flowing between two high hills and also streaming through the edge of farms and villages, so we could see natural environment during our trip. We even had once stop to get rest with coconut.

By the way, if you guys want longer trip, there is a 5-hours-trip provided. Overall, GI felt this was really an amazing adventure and full of fun experience. After this trip, all of us got tired, but we began the following week with really fresh mind and full energized.

GI really recommends this to you for being refreshed. For the fun, challenge, cost, and the others we got from this experience, GI gives 4 stars.
