Fun time white water rafting

valarnold, Aug 2024

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

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your review! We're glad you had fun with the guides and enjoyed the water activities and tasty lunch. We appreciate your feedback on the changing rooms and will work on improving that aspect for future guests. Hope to see you again soon!

Wonderful day out!...

Angela_B, May 2024

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Thank you for your review! We're glad to hear you had a wonderful day, even with the lower water levels. It’s great that the guides made it a memorable experience with swimming, rock jumps, and great food. We appreciate your feedback!

Lack of water

Barry_L, Apr 2024

Unfortunately there was not allot of water in the river ,so no actual rapids ,not the providers fault however should have been told of conditions, we also had to wait for over an hour for another group to join the party. Staff were friendly and supportive,meal provided was average

Highly recommended for beginners

Courtney_H, Mar 2023

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.

Surabhi_M, Jun 2022

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.

Response from Host, Oct 2023

Trop calme

Murray_D, Sep 2024

Descente très sympa de la rivière, cependant avec peu de sensations contrairement à ce que laisse supposer les photos. La rivière et très calme, nous avons pu nous y baigner.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Merci pour votre avis ! Nous sommes ravis que vous ayez apprécié la descente de la rivière et la baignade. Nous prenons en compte vos commentaires sur les sensations et espérons vous revoir pour une prochaine aventure !

Schade.

Veranstaltung war zugesagt von Viator, dass sie sicher stattfindet. Veranstalter sagt in der Nacht davor (!) ab, da zu wenige Anmeldungen. So kann ich nicht planen. Geld wurde abgebucht, aber keine Antwort wegen Rückerstattung bekommen.
