Travel north of Kota Kinabalu takes you to Kiulu River, past quaint villages, scenic countryside and the rural town of Tamparuli. A short briefing conducted on the Kiulu river bank precedes your adventure. With headwaters from Mt. Kinabalu, the river provides a Grade I to II experience, perfect for newcomers to the sport. Deep pools punctuate the river rapids, giving you ample opportunities to indulge in body rafting or swimming. The river journey takes just 1 to 1 1/2 hours, depending on the river stage and is topped by a refreshing BBQ lunch before returning to the city.
