Padas River White Water Rafting

Tour Code: KKA2

Duration - Full Day

Padas River - site of white water rafting

The Padas River is also the site of some of the best whitewater rafting to be found in Borneo. A rafting trip along the river will allow you approximately 2 hours of exhilarating adventure, shooting rapids with names such as Headhunter Padas Cyclone, Cobra Rock, Roller Coaster and Jacuzzi Pool). The rapids are classified to Grade 4.

The tour departs KK early in the morning.

Due to railway maintenance, the train is no longer running from Beaufort to Pangi. We are, however, able to get you to Pangi to start the rafting.

Pick up from hotel and transfer by coach to Tenom. Arrive at Tenom and proceed to a village near Pangi, where you will get changed and prepare yourself for a fun filled, thrilling ride, up to Pangi, taking the railcar - using only a strong, wide, timber platform fixed with ball bearing wheels.

The wheels sit on the railway line. This "cart" is large enough for two to four people, and is placed on the rails. Your guides then stand on the railcars, behind the passengers, and push then to move using a long timber pole.

It is a nice fast ride, and feels like taking a roller coaster through the forest along the bank of the river. The trip will take about an hour.

After suiting up and a safety briefing by the guide, the 30km white water rafting trip, making it the longest rafting journey in Borneo, begins. After the 9th kilometre of rafting, which covers seven class 3 and 4 rapids, you will make a quick stop for a sumptuous lunch at Rayoh Station before continuing the rafting journey through the majestic rainforests of Borneo. The finishing point is at Halogilat. From there, take boat to the township of Beaufort. Freshen up and board the coach for the 1 hour trip back to your hotel in KK. (Lunch)

Bring along swim-suits, shoes with rubber soles, extra dry clothes and no valuables. Life jackets and helmets are provided. All participants are required to sign liability release form and a certificate is issued at the end of the tour.
