You'll also have the option of a limestone foot massage. Surrounded by wildlife and lush vegetation, you’ll glide on a majestic bamboo raft through the jungle where your Raft Captain will tell you all about local plants, animals, and the area’s historical significance. During the hour-long ride, you can get on and off the raft as you please to swim in the river’s calm and crystal-clear waters and experience a natural foot rub using limestone paste made from the river rocks, locally known as 'jungle socks'.
