Water Rafting

Padas River (advanced level)
Get ready for the adrenaline-pumping ride through Sabah wildest rapids. This river is graded 3-4. Work up your hunger for the delicious local BBQ that follows the rafting.

A typical rafting tour starts from Kota Kinabalu, where the rafting operators arrange for transport from the City to the Padas Gorge through which the Padas River flows. The starting point for excursions on the Padas is at Pangi Railway Station, where Borneo’s only railway and its quaint wagons will take you on a scenic journey through the Padas Gorge. After the train ride comes the thrill of riding rapids with names like the Headhunter, Adrenaline Flow, and Merry-Go-Round. The Padas excursion is a day trip. However those wishing to stay longer can put up at the Padas River Lodge located at Rayoh. Successful rafters will be presented with a certificate of accomplishment upon completion of their adventure.
