The Nuance
Once tourists arrive at Kali Pusur, they would see a beautiful and serene river right away. The water is considered shallow and the current is weak. This explains why river tubing becomes quite safe for everyone, including kids. Despite the calmness, the river comes with lots of river stones, though. This explains why the instructors provide safety gear like helmets and buoys to tourists. The next consideration is related to the crowd, which is considered high. It is because the site is famous. Therefore, many people are seen there both on regular days and during holidays.

Exploring Kali Pusur River Boarding
As for tourist activities, the most common thing to do would be river boarding itself. Visitors only need to rent the equipment and safety gear from available instructors on the site. After that, they can start exploring the river using the board. Once again, the current is weak and the depth is shallow. Thus, everyone can enjoy it safely! For the information, the fee becomes a little bit more expensive during big holidays and long weekends, though.

Aside from river boarding, the site is good enough for swimming. Due to the safe river, even kids can freely roam there without parents’ supervision. According to the locals, though, the river’s current becomes heavier and stronger during the rainy season. Thus, it is recommended to visit the site only during good weather or in summer. After all, enjoying river boarding is not quite satisfying under the rain, no?

Even though Kali Pusur River Boarding is not as challenging as rafting, it would satisfy beginners or those who want to enjoy a more casual water activity.

Even those who don’t like water sports can enjoy relaxation on the site. They only need to sit by the river and enjoy the serene atmosphere while watching the beautiful river. Isn’t that great?
