WhiteWater Rafting Adventure
Sabah is possibly the only destination in Borneo that offers
the best and well-packaged WhiteWater Rafting
adventure vacation
experience. There are two excellent locations at Padas (Grade 3-4)
and Kiulu (Grade 1-3).
Padas, near a town called Beaufort, is about 3-4 hours drive and train ride from
Kota Kinabalu city. Enjoy the exhilarating ride down the Padas River rapids and
get to know the various points like Head Hunter Point, Scooby Doo Point,
Cobra
Point, Lambada Point till the ending point. More for the adventurous type and
not recommended for small children. Although graded 3-4, the grade is a point
lower during dry spell (not predictable anymore nowadays but normally mid-year).
Kiulu is located in the Tamparuli district about 1 to 1.5 hour drive from KK
city. Enjoy the exhilarating ride down the White rapids and get to know the
various points like Body Rafting, The Wall Rapid, Holy Smoke Rapid till the
ending point.
It is more suitable for a family whitewater adventure vacation, but during long
dry spell, the Kiulu river may not be deep enough for this thrill seeker
experience.
However, in the event that the Kiulu river is not deep enough, there is always
the alternative of checking Padas river, which should usually be suitable for a
family outing. But always check with your guides first on the condition of the
rivers.
