ABOUT THE EVENT
Prepare yourself for an extraordinary adventure on a raft! Immerse yourself in the splendor of nature during this exciting river safari, spanning 22km, 32km, or 40km of wet and thrilling exploration.
Commencing two decades ago, this annual extravaganza has become a tradition. The setting for this remarkable journey is Kampung Annah Rais, a Bidayuh village renowned for its tourist attractions like longhouses, cultural festivities, and cuisine inspired by various ethnicities.
As you navigate down the river, relish in the lush, evergreen jungles that flourish along both banks. For an added burst of excitement, prepare for the heart-pounding adventure of conquering the swirling rapids at Giam.
To ensure everyone’s safety, all participants will receive life vests, and a fleet of speedboats will be strategically positioned along the route to offer assistance if needed.
Take a break from running and let your arms take the lead as you paddle through this invigorating experience!
