Surrounded by karst peaks, Guilin boasts winding rivers. Rafting here is more than water fights — it’s a gentle adventure among mountains and rivers.
We offer multiple rafting options: calm bamboo raft trips suitable for all ages, and exciting whitewater rafting. Combine rafting with rock climbing, cave exploration, stream trekking or via ferrata for a 1–2 day family outdoor package, to fully immerse in Guilin’s landscape.
