点评:We booked it at Telaga Waja Adventures, but there are many operators where you can book. They all have a slightly different entry point but the rest of the rafting trip is the same.
Maybe this is fun in the rain season, but now it was mostly dissapoining. The water was so low that we were stuck on stones several times and it was mostly a row row row your boat tempo instead of real rafting.
Lunch was the best part, the nasi and noodles were great!
Advice: bring water. They told us that that was not needed and free water was provided, but than at lunch drinks (also water) were suddenly not included anymore, and they asked quite a lot money. Although they asked several times, we just had lunch without water. And than suddenly little cups of free water came availble. But if you do not want to get irritated better bring your own.
Also it was the first time ever in Indonesia that the boat driver/guide specifically asked for a tip when we were halfway (he also tried to get us to stop at some little restaurants next to the river and was quite pushy so perhaps he gets a commission).
We almost always give tips in Asia, but usually not when the ask. But he just kept hanging around after the activy, clearly waiting so in the end we gave him money. But totally not like we are used to in Indonesia.
The boat trip was about 3 hours, there was a dam that was a little exciting and a small waterfall and the rest was mostly rowing of going with the current really slow. Also quite some families with little children did it. For them it was fun but for adults who did rafting before in other countries, it is boring.
翻译:我们是在Telaga Waja Adventures预定的,不过还有很多其他旅行社也可以预订。它们的起始点略有不同,但后续的漂流行程则基本一致。
也许在雨季时这会很有趣,但这次体验实在令人失望。水量实在太少,我们好几次都被困在石头上;整个过程更像是“划船”而非真正的漂流。
午餐算是最棒的部分,米饭和面条都非常好吃!
建议:记得带水。他们告诉我们不需要额外付费,还会提供免费的水;但到了午餐时,饮料(包括水)却突然不再免费了,他们还索要了相当多的费用。尽管我们多次询问,最后还是没水喝,只能干着喝下午餐。后来才突然开始提供小杯装的免费水。不过,为了避免心烦,最好还是自己带水吧。还有,在印度尼西亚这还是头一遭:当我们行程进行到一半时,船夫/导游特意开口索要小费(他还试图说服我们在河边的一些小餐馆稍作停留,态度相当强硬,说不定他能从中拿到回扣)。
我们在亚洲几乎总会给小费,但通常不会在对方主动索要时才给。可那次活动结束后他一直赖在我们身边,明显就是在等着要钱,最后我们只好给了他一些钱。不过这种情况完全不符合我们在印度尼西亚的惯例。这次乘船之旅大约持续3个小时。途中有一个稍微有点刺激的水坝和一个小瀑布,其余时间则基本上是顺流而下,划得非常慢。也有很多带着小孩的家庭参与了这项活动。对孩子们来说这很有趣,但对于曾在其他国家体验过漂流的成年人而言,就显得很无聊。
