Whitewater Rafting : Kiulu River, Sabah

Friday 11 August 2006 : Whitewater Rafting Level 1-2 (Beginner/Honeymoon Level) at Sungai Kiulu, Tamparuli, Sabah

Went with my sister Nurul Husna who is studying at Universiti Malaysia Sabah, Kota Kinabalu. The tour company, Riverbug based in Kota Kinabalu. The location is about 1 hour and 30 minute drive from Kota Kinabalu. The whole journey, including equipment rental, safety briefing, a guide in each raft, sumptous bbq lunch and return trip to hotel costed only RM130 for me and RM100 for my sister (university student rate). The guides were very friendly and our guide especially, Apeng, was the funniest of the whole lot. It was total amazing fun... too fun that I had to be resqued after being swept away for almost 400 metres by the river currents after our raft capsized! Did some thrilling body rafting too. Because of the rain the previous night, our journey was extended to 14 km instead of the usual 7 km. Highly recommended for all. Will go back for the fun again.
