I went canyoning in Indonesia (And it was amazing!) | Pangandaran | Vlog 131

I came to this destination in the south of Java to tour the Pangandaran rainforest. Luckily, I met two girls at my homestay who had the same plan, and together we hired a guide for two days. The commercial tours didn’t align with what we wanted to do, so we created a personalised itinerary with our guide for today.

Tomorrow, there won’t be an option to do a personalised tour, so we’ll be joining the rest of the DinDin tour group. Today is day two in Pangandaran, and after exploring the beaches yesterday, we’re in for a day full of adventure. It’s going to be fun! We’ll be walking along the river through the rainforest, and I can’t wait.

Pangandaran Rainforest tour

We hired scooters from the homestay to drive to our starting point. It ended up being a long journey, and it was my first time in months riding a scooter. However, it was also a stunning drive that got us warmed up for what the day would bring. Upon arrival, we met our guide in person and started walking into the rainforest. But we weren’t here to simply walk—we could have done that on any tour. We were here to follow the river through the rainforest.

We entered the river and slowly started making our way downstream. Today’s goal was to visit the caves along the way and swim beside the waterfalls. However, we ended up doing a real canyoning tour. Everything that came afterwards was simply exceptional.

No wonder our tour guide said yesterday that he already had a great plan worked out, and we would love the Pangandaran rainforest tour. However, he also mentioned that these places are usually only explored by locals, as they try to keep tourists away from these secret spots. I wonder if that’s true. Regardless, I’ve had a fabulous day, and I can’t wait for tomorrow!
