Hidden Canyon Beji Guwang

I went to the Hidden Canyon with a group of friends. It was such a wonderful day we spent there. The entrance is free of charge by donation. I do recommend you to help and donate some money for the place so they can maintain the canyon. It's important to wear comfortable shoes and clothes which are water proof as you will get wet in some areas. The trip was divided by three parts and it takes around 2 hours and a half or so to finish. We had two guides with us and all thanks to them to passed some challenging parts! They are extremely experienced and know the place very well. Most importantly, they are very friendly and helpful, always with big smiles! It is a perfect place to go with a group of friends and also for team building. The view is breathtaking! A natural oxygen bar! Towards the end of the trip, you'll see a big area of rice field! It is so amazing! I would love to go back one day and experience again. Visited January 2016

It took us 2-2.5hrs start to finish. It's a circle, you walk all the way up the river and walk back for 15-20 minutes along some rice fields to complete the loop. It was 10,000ea for entrance and 100,000 (10 USD) for a guide for the trip. Guide was helpful to show us the deep/shallow parts of the water, show us where to step, hold our gear when necessary and know the route! I don't think you can find your own way unless you're a very confident river-trekker. My friend and I are moderately fit, we've both got some rock climbing / hiking experience and we stopped once for a rest, water and a snack. It might get very hot if you go during the high sun. You can sit at the end and enjoy the view, finish your snack, have some water (bring your own) and then make the easy walk back to the start. Don't bank on wearing your shoes for 90% of the trip unless they're the type you wear in waist-deep water and sand and can confidently climb rocks in when wet. We were barefoot for almost the entire thing. You'll get wet from the waist down, either via waterfall, river, rain or some combination thereof, so put your phone in your bag and wear some quick-drying shorts. Bugs weren't a problem even at 8-9am. Take a camera, just don't drop it. There was a sort of animal-picture-gift-shop at the end, they ask for donations but we took no pictures and paid them no money. They were okay with that. Highly recommended, do this in the morning, then go have lunch and a nap. Visited February 2016
