 padas river by yuet29
There are a few rapids along the Padas River. Some are graded up to level 4 or 5. The time to raft depends on the current and tide on that day.
For the pricing, check for the tips on tourist trap. For paying rm170, the excitement you get wasnt worth the price, but if you pay rm120 or less, it is okie.
Note that there are a few river for rafting in sabah- padas, kiulu and papar. Papar is the new spot but the rapids are not as great as in padas, similar to kiulu. You will be much disappointed is you raft in papar or kiulu, that is what i think.. since padas doesnt satisfied us as well...
However, it is a good try if you never go for rafting before..it could be amazing.. must try!
Everyone will get a life jacket and helmet. For those wearing specs, the guides will help you to tie a rubber band on your spec to secure it.
No belongings are allowed with you besides specs and sandals. The guide will collect your slipper/ sandals by the time you board the boat. They keep the shoes inside a net hanging behind the boat.
A short briefing is given before the rafting teaching all how to swim inthe river and the command to raft - forward, backward, left, right. And then it starts the journey. Leave a Comment Theme: Rafting

The Kinabalu park is 2.5hours from KK. The hiking trip takes 2 days for a normal climber. As others will say- you dont need special skills, only some stamina will do.. it is true, anyhow you will make it to the top, what makes the different is how many days your muscle aching last! haha

There are 4 islands in the Tunku Abdul Rahman marine park that you can visit.
The snorkeling is great at all of them, you can dive also.
There are however coral graveyards on most islands, but out past them the coral is regenerating and the fish are fantastic.
Take your own snorkel gear if you have it, the hire stuff available is not that good Theme: Beach Activities

For those looking to walk or stretch their legs, you can go for a jog at the sports complex in Likas near the city - there is a small lake within the jogging area and a few stretching equipment for you to use. Go early in the morning or in the evening.
There's a canteen at the complex but do bring a bottle of water in you like. There are no lockers so if you have a car put your stuff in there (well hidden) or travel very light.

You can also go jogging at Tun Fuad Stephens park, it's a longer stroll than the one at the sports complex and has a bigger lake where you can rent a boat and food stalls are located around it.
As with the sports complex there are no lockers so travel light and keep your valuables well hidden in your car. Leave a Comment Theme: OtherAddress: Penampang areaDirections: Ask around-you'll need a car really but it's not far from the city.
