Luggage and bags: Size doesn't matter as you'll leave everything in a safe spot-just something big enough to keep your stuff.

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Sandals/slippers over shoes because you'll need footwear while walking between the train stop and the start off the rafting trip which means footwear goes onto the raft and gets wet. Dress in light clothings (you'll have a lifejacket on); certainly shorts over pants.

Toiletries and Medical Supplies: Sun block if you like (apply before leaving change rooms)-the mosquitoes never bothered me so I don't know about repellants. The usual BYO toilet paper/tissue applies in Sabah.

Photo Equipment: A video camera will not be of much use here as the only real time you can take shots is limited. A camera with a video function will suffice.

Yes those small ones will do, not the blue one!

Luggage and bags: Bring small bag just to bring essentials

Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: Towel and spare clothings, but It'll dry up after the lunch buffet (if you bring dryfit clothes)

Photo Equipment: There will be photographers taking your pics, you can just buy them after the rafting.
And yes the guide will let u know where those cameramen are hiding so you can still make a pose~
Bring waterproof camera if you insist on taking picture yourself.

Miscellaneous: You'll actually leave your bags and only bring those you can afford to be wet with you for the rafting.

 Not only the rafting part, but the whole journey from Kota Kinabalu was a great experience!
