Bukit Lawang Jungle Kayak

Paddle the crystal-clear Bohorok and Landak rivers, watching for riverbank wildlife, with a picnic and a swim.

Duration≈09:00–15:00RiversBohorok / LandakMinimum2 peopleLevelBeginner-friendly

Overview

Bukit Lawang's newest activity gets you onto the water. You'll kayak down the clear, fresh rivers that run straight from the mountains, framed by rainforest on both banks.

With a little luck you'll spot wildlife right at the water's edge — Thomas leaf monkeys, silvered leaf monkeys, hornbills and monitor lizards — before a riverside picnic and a swim.
