Overview


Discover the thrills and spills of white water rafting on the riffles and rapids of the Kiulu River.

This Grade Il and Grade IIl stretch of river is perfect for beginners. It has enough fast water to be fun and there are sections where you can learn the basics of maneuvering. However, there is nothing that would intimidate newcomers.

When all the fresh air and exercise has given you an appetite, a barbeque Lunch will be served beside the river!

Itinerary

You will be picked up from your hotel in an air-conditioned vehicle for your White Water Rafting – Kiulu River, Kota Kinabalu tour. The drive from Kota Kinabalu to Kiulu River takes about 1 ½ hours by road and provides delightful views of the countryside along the way.

On arriving at the river bank, you will meet your rafting guide and receive a briefing on safety procedures. All participants are equipped with safety helmets and life-jackets.

Other than the thrill and excitement of riding the rapids, white water rafting is also an opportunity to see the forests and landscape from a different vantage point.

With headwaters from Mount Kinabalu, the Kiulu River provides a Grade Il to IIl experience and is suitable for newcomers to rafting. Grade Il reaches have moving water with a few riffles and small waves. There are few or no obstructions. Grade IIl sections give you easy rapids with waves up to 3 feet (1m) high and wide, clear channels that are obvious without scouting. Some maneuvering will be required.

Between the rapids there are deep pools where you can indulge in body-rafting or swimming.

This river excursion is between 1.5 to 2 hours, depending on the season. You will also be served a Barbeque lunch by the riverside.

After lunch, you will be taken back to your hotel in Kota Kinabalu where your tour ends.
