River of Adventure Tour: Kumbi Waterfall & River Tubing in Lombok
A full‑day mix of jungle trail, a secluded waterfall in Kumbi village, and scenic river tubing past rice paddies and banana farms. Expect local snacks, a village visit, and a relaxing float with life vests provided.
The Experience
Before You Go

Light synthetic clothing and water-ready footwear make river tubing and village walks comfortable.
Protect valuables
Use a small dry bag for phone, wallet and camera—tubing can dunk you unexpectedly.
Hydrate and snack
Bring a refillable bottle; bottled water is provided but extra electrolytes help on hot days.
Respect local customs
Ask before photographing people and accept offered refreshments as a gesture of hospitality.

Conservation Note
Stick to marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use reef- and river-safe sunscreen to limit chemical runoff into fragile river ecosystems.
The area’s agricultural layout reflects generations of smallholder rice and banana farming on volcanic soils shaped after Mt. Rinjani’s eruptions; village life remains centered on seasonal crops and river access.
