Water Rafting,
Canyoning

Cave
Exploration, but we also got a real sense of Malaysia as
a culture.

adventurer will sure to go! Test out your river skills and go on an adrenaline
rush as you ride through 14 rapids and cooling waters of Kampar River in Perak.
A state in west Malaysia famous for its’ tin ore, and pomelo fruit, Ipoh hor

On the river, you’ll have the thrills of
tackling exciting rapids and floating down the clear water river amidst a lush
rainforest. You will ride the continuous rapids graded from class I-III, and
continue down river, passing by some old tin mining plains. Have fun during the
rafting like do some body-rafting or even take a spin in the raft with your head
in the water....or just get to the traditional fun of water fight with your
fellow rafters! Get wet and get in touch with nature once more!
As a standard procedure, safety briefing will be

Rafting
Dear
Michael & team,
On
behalf of my friends, I'd like to thank you for your hospitality
& the wonderful time we had on 29th January 2012. The
majority of us (myself included) were first timers at abseiling
& water rafting (and yes, the lorry ride too... haha) but
the experience was simply AWESOME!
We
may just go again in future. Thanks again.

your rafting guide as to how to negotiate the rapids and some
practice is done before you set off. You are also briefed before

weather conditions are safe. Because water conducts electricity, it is wise to stop swimming, boating, or any
activities on the water assoon

Practical
Rafting Tips
All
rafters will be given a safety briefing before the ride and will
be shown basic backward and forward paddling techniques. Always
check that the helmets and life jackets provided fit you well
and are not too tight or too loose.
Your life
jacket will buoy you in the eventuality of the raft overturning.
If you've over-turned close to the river bank, don't use your
raft paddle, as you may hit someone else. Do not attempt to use
the paddle as a lever against rocks as you risk getting hit by
it.
The
following are some points to remember:
Bring a
change of clothes. A warm-up jacket is also a good idea.

well-fitting shoes, rubber shoes or sandals.
Jewellery
