Live bamboo can found throughout the many jungles of the Rivers of Adventure. Skippers are known to make jokes about bamboo such as, " This bamboo is said to grow six feet tall. Some say it's seven but that’s another story". In the removed Albert Awol audio loop, Awol mentioned that the winning meal from that month's cooking competition was bamboo stew with shredded vine stems which Skipper Doug described as tasting like chicken. Various buildings and other structures are also visibly constructed with bamboo such as the shack in the Lost Delta, Trader Sam's outpost, and the Jungle Navigation Company's Ticket Booth.
