White Water Rafting

I wanted to do White Water Rafting for so long and didn't manage to find people to go with me. Finally yesterday I join a friend that like to do outing and from there I get to know some new friends.

The place that we did our White Water Rafting is Countryview Recreation Park & Resort. The place is another 30 KM from Raub. It took about 2 hours to reach from Kepong. We started our journey about 10.30 am and we reached the resort about 12.30pm.

All of us take a small trip at the recreation park before we got our lunch. We saw the river that we going for rafting and the colour of the water is like our Teh Tarik! That's shows our river is so polluted and in bad condition. Besides White Water Rafting, the resort also provide 4WD, campsite, flying fox, abseiling and etc.

At 2:30pm the coach is calling for gather together. There are 15 of us and we split into 2 teams. Before we get into the boat, we need to do some water confident. Basically is some basic training when you fell into water what you suppose to do. That took about half and hour to 40 minutes.

Once we finished the water confident, we all get into the boat to start our white water rafting. Through out the journey that not much rapid so it just like normal kayaking! It took about 40 minutes to reach the end. We being picked up van and they drop us back to slightly upper where we started our journey. Actually the best for the white water rafting is at the place that we being trained on water confident. The rapid there is huge and fast. We get into boat and go rock n roll in the rapid!! That part was the best part of the whole white water rafting. We tried twice on the that rapid. I'm kinda lucky that had a good coach in the boat. Both round also don't have anything happen to our boat. The first round the other boat fell two person out from the boat. The second round, the other boat all fell off from boat! I wish I'm in the boat as well so that can have fun in the water! =P

It finished about 5pm then we all head back to shower. We left the resort about 6pm. We reached KL at 8pm. It is a good experience on the White Water Rafting!! I don't mind to go for another round but it must be more challenging!!
