Mainly due to river portions taking various forms like shallows, rapids, cascades, narrow passages, etc. Where is it?? The jump-off area is at Brgy Tenani, Paranas, (Western) Samar. The river where this ride takes place is called Ulot River, sometimes also spelled Olot. Ulot and Olot, btw, means monkey! Yes nga ulot ka! The ride is just within a short portion of this 90km-long river. How and Why?! You just sit on the boat as it zooms through the river, then, OMG!
