Padas White Water Rafting (Full Day)
The Padas and Kiulu are the two most popular rivers for white water rafting.
'White water' is the foam that forms on the surface of the water as it breaks
over the river rocky bed. And to get the perfect white water, you would need a
fast flowing river. Padas is the ultimate experience both in the adrenaline rush
that accompanies rafters as they shoot the rapids as well as the unique mode of
transport to get to the starting point.
To get there, you have to travel part of your journey on the only public railway
still in service in the whole island of Borneo. Enjoy this journey that takes
you through time - the railway has been in service for almost a century - and
through the rugged countryside of southeastern Sabah. Then embark on a roller-coaster
ride through rapids with names such as Headhunter, Adrenaline Flow, Merry-Go-Round
before enjoying a sumptuous barbeque lunch at the end of the trip.
Kiulu is a gentler river with some pretty good rapids and lots a scenic atmosphere.
The river's cool clear water is simply too inviting and you won't be able to resist
jumping in for a spot of body rafting. Ideal for beginners and perfect for a half-day
tour.
