RuneSR2 are you getting the new Yucatan DLC?
I was just visiting to post the trailer, good to see you've already did that 🙂
I posted the trailer in the Index forum a few days ago:
Personally, Kayak VR is one of my favorite VR experiences of all, but just not the recent Yucatan level.
My Steam review is here:

"I just completed the level. It's very dark and mostly tunnels, not much space to navigate. Whitewater in small tunnels is more frustrating than fun. Whitewater VR: Extreme Kayaking Adventure is much better for experiencing whitewater. Considering that Kayak VR: Mirage is one of my favorite VR experiences of all, this does say much about this Yucatán level, sadly.
I personally love Kayak VR for the awesome nature experiences and scenic vistas, unfortunately there's close to nothing of that in this level.
The tunnels feel nearly too dark for the Index, I wonder if devs calibrated the lighting mainly for the oled PSVR2 and the PS5 version of the game.
To me the Yucatán level is the weakest of all, and it feels rushed. The tour kept me going in circles, clearly needs more testing.
Then again, if you love caves and tight spaces then you may enjoy this level a lot more than I did.
Also on the positive side, the level does provide some variation to the game.
My rating is about 6/10, while I'd happily rate the other levels from 8/10 to 10/10."
In short, for those wanting whitewater - I'd go here instead:
I still plan to keep the Yucatan level, but mostly to support the devs. 2c.
Btw, with a patch, devs have removed the native Oculus driver support, which is very saddening. My son was using those drivers to start the game with the Rift CV1. The game now only supports SteamVR, not even OpenXR. This causes a massive performance reduction for Meta users. Since I have paid for the game, and never accepted the removal of native Oculus drivers, I tried to go looking for an older unpatched version in very dark places, but found it, and now my son can play using the CV1 again. But extremely annoying that devs took a hammer to a perfectly working Oculus supported game.
I have complained about this here - and some dude offered a workaround, but it seems cumbersome:

Of course some Meta users may just think that the game is now very demanding due to the great graphics, and may never know how much better the game performed with native Oculus drivers.
