Looking for an
adventure in a different part of the world is not always
easy. Having Michael
as our guide gave us the opportunity
not only to do White
Water Rafting, Canyoning
& Cave
Exploration, but we also got a real sense of Malaysia as
a culture.
Double Decker Rapid in Kampar River,
one of many rapids for you to explore!
Caving!
With
no previous experience required, caving is suitable for just about
anyone. Many people wonder if they'll become claustrophobic in a
cave. This is very unlikely. People who are claustrophobic wouldn't
even entertain the idea of caving, let alone think about giving it a
go. There are some tight places you have to wriggle through but they
are generally very short and not unlike crawling under a bed. It is
quite a physical activity but lots of fun and a truly unique
experience.
Why do Caving with Us?
We're a bunch of Cavers who take caving very seriously.
we're the people who run your Caving
Activities professionally, who show you around and know Caves better than
anyone. In other words, Professional Cavers from MMadventure.com who have more than 15 years of
caving experience and can show you a good time and educate and enlighten
you about caves at the same time.
White
Water Rafting
Where white waters flow, enthusiasts and
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
fun, home-grown white coffee, temples, caves and hot springs!
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
done before going down the river which covers the paddling commands, paddling
skills, capsize drills, actions when overboard or river rescue. After 10-15
minutes of briefing by our professional river guide, you are now ready for a
river rafting adventure.
Come join this one day adventure tour - paddling
along Sungai Kampar through raging white waters amidst serene surroundings…
clear waters, fresh air, and if the sun’s up… you’ll get a good tan to
boot!.

for the trip explains what to do if the raft flips, how to help
each other out of the water and what conditions to expect.
We always
give
the worst-case scenario so that people know what to expect from
the trip and, therefore, have the choice to forego their trip
after the safety talk. Once in the raft, you are instructed by
your rafting guide as to how to negotiate the rapids and some
practice is done before you set off. You are also briefed before
each rapid on how the raft is expected to react.

is safer then crossing road
We always
ensure all the participants wear a life jacket.
We do not
overload the raft.

rafting after/during a heavy rain.
Our guides
are qualified and well trained.
We well
know local weather conditions. We make sure the water and
weather conditions are safe. Because water conducts electricity, it is wise to stop swimming, boating, or any
activities on the water assoon
as you see or hear lightning.
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.
Wear
well-fitting shoes, rubber shoes or sandals.
Jewellery
which cannot be secured firmly should not be worn while

to cut down the risk of their lenses getting contaminated by
river water.
