Padas Rafting

this is a late post. good. safety instruction given.

Water rafting are one of the greatest adventure, should try once in a lifetime ??And riverbug Asia's crew esp Rio & Jama never cease to amaze each one of us with 9 thrilling rapids in here Sg. Padas. Yesterday was a memory , today is a journey and tomorrow is a dream . thankq with love ?

Exciting adventures and worth to go

Definitely worth the fun doing this rafting of grade 3/4. Our raft was the chosen one, so the moment we saw a 1.5-2m wall of muddy water in front of us, it was time our raft capsized and everyone fell into the river and drifted along the fast moving river. It was fun and anytime better than Kiulu River rafting

Helpful and friendly instructor, really love the whole journey along the train ride

The whole trip is awesome, the trainer is friendly and nice and give instructions clearly during the whole journey. The lunch is normal, don’t except too much.

Travel time to Padas Rafting site was quite a long journey. Apart from that, the experience was worthwhile! The person in charge was very friendly and patient, he makes the entire activity a lot more exhilarating and fun!

It was a long journey and it wasn’t challenging on that day due to the weather but I still love rafting.

We went here 2years ago. The activity was fun and adventurous. Def not for the faint-hearted! Guide was very friendly he picked us up from our airport since location was very far from main city.

Good stuff. 10/10 would do it again, the full train and river rafting experience. Guides were friendly and helpful (shout out to Rio & Kim). Though organizer needs to improve on pre-trip communication i.e. to initiate and confirm logistics arrangement. Also photos by organizer is a separate surcharge, not paid here. Great photos however.

Good trip. Such an exciting activity to be experienced with group of friends. Definitely recommend this to my friends.

Excellent services by riverbug. It was a weekday with just 2 of us from the time of pick up by a minvan, rafting with 2 of us and 2 guides on the raft. The guides are very experienced in the route. We had lots of fun during the river rafting. There are many rapids ranging from small to big. Traveling time is about 4 to 5 hours. Rafting is an hour or so.

My booking was cancelled due to low sea level, we changed to Kiulu Water Rafting instead, it's not thrilling enough to me. However I aslo had great time swimming in Kiulu River. Really pity that can not do Padas rafting in my trip to Sabah

Nice coach and nice arrangement for us , Hope next time will be the same

Actual rafting time was less than 90 minutes. Total trip time from door to door (bus, train, rafting, train, bus) was 15 hours and 40 minutes. This trip is probably worth it if you live someplace with no water nearby as the rafting is OK, the guides are fun, and the overall experience is as described.

Quite good and fun experience, though the travel time to get there was too long. Worth a try.

overall excellent by Riverbug from pickup at hotel, board train at Beaufort to water rafting starting point, lunch buffet is delicious. make sure to board the train with no seating (experience the train ride while sitting on the floor)

The tour is very systematic and fun. The train ride is memorable and unique. Will definitely recommend this tour to my friends.

Very exciting experiences. Coach is professional and safe instruction.

It's a good experience to raft a grade 4 River Padas, beside those 5 rapids which gave us adrenaline rushing, we also enjoyed taking the old train , crossing the country side of inner Sabah. Strongly recommended for those who seek excitements

The activity is extremely yet safe. I do recommend to try it out when you visit Kota Kinabalu. However Not sure why I wasn't able to access klook in Malaysia, I have also try to contact the local Klook customer support but wasn't able to find any support from klook

The tour was actually well- organized. Transport was on time. The captains were funny and knowledgeable. The tour was really exciting. Rafting is however a really dangerous activity. Our boat flipped over and all of us including the captains dropped into the river. Luckily the fellow rafters trapped under water by the boat were able to find their way out and the captains managed to right the boat soon. However, it was not easy for the rafters to get on the boat again as we were still in the rapids. The waves seemed never- ending and the water kept on going into our nose and mouth every time we tried to breathe. It took almost 10 minutes for all the rafters to get on the boat again. Most of us agreed that it could be life- threatening if we were not lucky enough. To be fair, the tour was actually great and the rafters on others boats which did not capsized enjoyed it a lot. But to me, this near- to- death experience really scared me and I don't think I would go rafting again.

If you're seeking for thrills and real adventure, this is the best activity for you. It's so extreme and dangerous, but super fun and fulfilling. Just keep extra careful! Kudos! ?

Highly recommended! We booked everything through Klook, which is very easy, accommodating and great price. Klook hooked us up with Riverbug for this adventure. They took care for everything (transportation, guide, lunch, rafting equipment and safety gears). The guides are friendly and fun. We experienced good, warm and great service throughout. For the beginner, don't be afraid to try because Riverbug took the safety as priority and very professional as you can smiling and laughing all the way down the river. If i had a chance, i'll definitely do it again.

Highly recommended. Although the transportation to the location is a bit of a chore (totalling probably 8-9 hours there and back), the location and activity itself were great. The train rides may get a bit warm but there’s a rustic charm about them. As for the rapids, it is not something to be overly concerned about but I think it’s better if you know how to swim.

I was really terrified at first as I am a non swimmer but our guide - “JACK” made it really enjoyable for our group. He reassured all of us that we will be safe and he made sure that we are all okay. My only advice is not to bring any valuables especially cameras or go Pro as there is a high chance that it will go on the water and will be difficult to retrieve. The team has their own photographer who takes photos during rafting. You just have to pay I think 120-160RM depending if you want to tramsfer it on your phone or email. Overall it was a great experience. I will definitely do it again. Highly recommended!

Wet, wild and crazy! This is a must-do if ure ever in Sabah. The guides are friendly and funny and you'll never feel in danger altho they will jokingly say that you are. The rapids are fast and furious and u better hold on tightif u do not want to fall out. But then again, dats the best bit! So go for it! Highly recommended!!

Definitely the best part of our Sabah, Malaysian tour. A must experience adventure. You get to ride the train through the jungle. I love this activity!!! Rio our guide is witty, funny, and very informative.

Pretty awesome tour of the rapids! Even as a first-timer, this has been pretty doable, especially with team effort! Thankfully, we didn't capsize! Our guide Wowon has been pretty great too. Would recommend that everyone try this out :)

It was long journey for one-day! However It was soooo excited and unforgettable activity on my mind! Highly recommend it to someone who are traveling in KK! Thanks!

Padas rafting was on of my greatest experienced in my whole entire life that my wife and I would never forget especially when it was one of our itinerary for our 20th wedding anniversary. It was such an experience to be able to take the old train and sharing it with the locals commuters and not forgetting jumping into the water at Padas River. The whole travel arrangement from Unic hotel to Padas was awesome too. I would strongly recommend anyone to try out Padas Rafting as you will have an amazing time of your life. Regards Anwwar Singapore

The experience can't be described in one word! It is amazingly wonderful adventurous and extremely rewarding experience. All of us had a great time with this activity, combination of fun and adventure. It was GREAT!

a must try when you're in sabah. Exciting and you get to meet new people. it was tiring but super worth it.

Its one of the greatest experience even its way too far from kota kinabalu, the activity is so worth it! Jack is one of the expert kudos to him.

Highlight of our trip! Professional guides and captains who thoroughly and patiently taught and guided us through the exciting activity. Well organief and a delightful day of thrills in nice surroundings :)

A MUST DO activity when you visit Kk. My first ever rafting experience and definitely not the last. Our tour guide, Rio was very informative.

Padas river white water rafting is a must if you want to get your adrenaline rushing through your body as this activity is really challenging and fun too. We had fun throughout our paddling and the scenery was beautiful too. Padas river has a lot of rocks apart from wide open still water that make paddling fun and exciting. The water rushing down the stream can be strong and fast at some parts of the river, so doing white water rafting here is always exciting.

They picked me up in my hotel earlier than scheduled. Our guide Billy is a very funny guy. It was my first time but trying the level III & IV is all worth it. Riverbug made us all safe and made sure we enjoyed the waters. Try it. It might look scary but trust me its fun! Always don't forget to smile. There are cameras everywhere. ;)

This is definitely a must do when you go to KK. Pick-up was on time and the guides were very good and entertaining. Highly recommended. :)

I was picked up on time. It was approx. 1 & half hours van ride to Beaufort town where we boarded the jungle railway train (another 1 & half hours) to the rafting site. It was exciting and the paddling through the rapids was a good physical workout and plenty of adrenaline rush.

Some delay in our morning pickup. Efficient help given by Klook hotline staff to help us follow up. Had a lot of fun with our guide Rio! Totally enjoy this adventure.

Padas rafting was incredible experience at first Im a little bit scared but after so many waves I enjoyed it. Our tour guides are very accomodating. Padas rafting is the best water activity in kota kinabalu ????

We booked this activity via Klook and I can say that the river rafting experience was so incredible especially for 1st timers like our group. It was definite a great choice to book with RiverBug given the services and hospitality they've shown. Our driver/rafting guide guide that took us up on the starting point was also very professional and accomodating, we never felt that we were in another country. Everyone was amazing with their own taste of humor that we definitely enjoyed! The experience as a whole getting to Beaufort and taking the traditional train up the mountain was memorable. The travel was quite long. But it was worth it!

Good experience !! need to take long time to travel. Actually the view and the experience in train are good when travel to the start point of the rafting. Recommend to try.

Padas Rafting is the highlight of our trip! Thanks Klook for this! It's good that I've purchased this activity from Klook because it's cheaper than booking on a travel agency there. I got it at around 2250 pesos only because of their 15% off promo.

great. had a lot of fun. although, i think the capsizing of the boat was done intentionally so we would never forget. ???? overall, the experience is great. a must try activity. our tour guide has also done well. ????

Excellent experience with good coach! His name is Rio, he gave us the best rafting experience and I will definitely recommend him and his company(Riverbug):)

Awesome experience fighting the waves! Really great instructors who can speak basic English, and have awesome personalities! Lunch was NICE! Homecooked buffet

It was our first rafting experience but we still went ahead in booking rafting at Padas river which was classified as Grade 3-4. This activity is operated by Riverbug and they are one of the longest and safest company to do rafting with. Safety procedures and rowing techniques will be taught. Safety kayaks were also being deployed prior to the start of activity. There were in total of 12 rapids and were super fun! Our raft guides were also very professional. Thanks klook for booking with them!
