Fun time white water rafting - Fun guides who tried to enhance the experience there’s parts to swim parts to jump into the water and my favourite bit was going down the rapids out of the boat. The lunch provided was tasty the only bad thing was the changing rooms were very basic and dirty, no shower just an empty room with dirty chair

White water rafting Kiulu river - We had a great time on this trip. I'm a little afraid of deep water so was quite glad the water level wasn't too deep but plenty enough. The rapids were a grade 2 which was enough. We had plenty of opportunities to get out for a swim too which was nice to cool off. Really lovely lunch at the end and overall would highly recommend this trip... lots of fun and the guides were great fun too.

Highly recommended for beginners - I had a very nice experience with the staffs at Kiulu Rafting. My friend and I booked this tour and 2 staffs joined in the rafting, so it was 4 people riding on the boat-which was almost like a private tour. Paid extra 100 MYR for photographing. The photos were not that good and was overpriced but it was our choice so I don't mind that much. Other than that, we enjoyed swimming and jumping into the river so much. The rafting difficulty level is low, so I recommend this tour to beginners. When I asked the staffs if there is a more difficult one, they said they have a higher level course where the starting point is at a higher place and ends at the beginner level course's starting point.

Really fun and beautiful river ride - A very fun activety but be prepared to be soaking wet. Swimware or tights and T-shirt are recommended and don't bring any water sensitive electronics unless you have a real waterproof wetbag. The river ride takes place in middlesized inflateble rubberboats and every participant get equipped with a life jacket, an helmet and a paddle. The ride is about 8 kilometers and takes approx. 1.5 hours. The guides sometimes make a break for swimming. There are many rapids and it depends on the water level in the river how violent they are. A couple of persons fell out of the boat in two or three places so you should be prepared for that to happend. The water is warm and nice and it is just to body surf down the rapid until you reach calmer water where you can enter the boat again. The ride is also very beautiful with lush and high trees on the shores. We four (two couples) really liked this activety. When the ride is over you change to dry clothes and have a complementary lunch that also was very good. A perfect tour!

Highly recommend - We ended up having our own private tour as we went on a weekday. Our driver was very friendly and our rafting instructor was wonderful. We had lots of fun and then enjoyed a local feast after all the action.

Nice experience - The tour operator communicated well on the details of the pick up.
It was a first time experience for my teenage kids, they kinda enjoyed it but unfortunately the water level was low as there was not much rain prior so there was not much "excitement". The guide still did made it fun for the kids given the circumstances.
A few things to note:
1. This is a level 1 -2, good for younger kids.
2. Bring towels & change of clothes.
