Had an amazing experience with Xtreme Paddlers! Not only were the rapids really fun but the staff where so friendly and welcoming. Also the food was amazing :)
Hannah
Booked: 1-Day Padas White Water rafting
This is a bucket-list experience while in Sabah. Andrey was phenomenal and always went out of his way to make the experience even better. The food was outstanding and you can eat in a sheltered area located at a beautiful spot next to the Padas River. The rafting was very thrilling and the multiple rapids provided a remarkable experience. I couldn't recommend the Padas River Rafting enough if you are looking for an exhilarating rafting experience while in Sabah.
