Guiding through
One boy will be guiding the direction at front of the boat by pushing the trees grown on the banks. The other boy will be sailing to make the boat move forward. People coming back take the same way and sufficient gap will be maintained between the ongoing and returning boats. Take care of your hands at the edges of the boat. Sometimes the returning boats hit your boat and chance of hands getting crushed is more.

Security post
On the way you will see the forest security posts and the security guard. The boat starts wobbling heavily and the stability will be very less. Take care of the children, make their hands kept inside and hold them properly. Some people will get scared of the wobbling and some enjoy the thrilling journey. In between the engine will be made on just to glide through the straight path and again will be switched off. The turns are very narrow and sometimes the edges and sides of the boat hit the banks of the channel, sit firmly to avoid falling off the boat.
