The Nuance
For the information, Cisadane River gets the water from the natural spring of Pangrango Mountain. No wonder, it feels quite refreshing and looks alluring. In terms of strength, the river has a moderate level of current (which is suitable for rafting). The river also features big rocks, which become natural obstacles during rafting. Have no worries.

Exploring Cisadane Rafting
The only reason to visit Cisadane River is definitely to enjoy rafting. However, some instructors often offer another fun activity for tourists to do. It is none other than jumping to the river from the nearby bridge. The deep of the river is 3 meters, so it is considered safe to do such activity. Somehow, it takes some guts to do so and only adults are interested to jump freely like that. Actually, kids are allowed to jump due to the supervision of the instructor on site.
What is next? It is the time for the main activity, which is rafting. The first consideration is that tourists must choose the right rafting spot. As mentioned before, there are 5 of them featuring the different strength of current as well. For first-timers, they must talk to the instructor first regarding the most suitable level for them.
