Step out onto the ledge overlooking a pool with a wooden bridge and turn left. Jump up to grab the handholds on the ceiling. Monkey swing forward to the wall, then let go. Cross the bridge to get the save/power-up crystal. (Be careful not to fall into the piranha-infested pool.)

Climb to the top. On the left is an opening leading down to a pool with a kayak. If you don't care about getting all secrets, you can go that way now. (Pick up the main walkthrough at the section KAYAK ROOM - HEADING DOWNRIVER.) If you do want the secret, continue with part 6.
