Padawan Raft Safari 2022
Get ready for an epic raft’venture. Experience the beauty of nature in this wet and fun 22km / 32km / 40km river safari.
This annual event started 20 years ago. The venue for the safari will be at Kampung Annah Rais, a Bidayuh village well known for its tourism attractions of longhouse, cultural activities and ethnic inspired food.
