In the train to Rayoh

The train ride was an awesome experience as you will ride an old train from the late 19th century in Borneo.  After a 2 hours train ride, we reached Rayoh Station and took another train to Pangi.  At Rayoh we had to push through the crowd as there are many passengers taking the small train.  Since it was a small train, passengers can sit on the rooftop of the train and that was a super awesome experience.  Along the way - splendid view!

The Padas White Water Rafting is basically an excursion of class III to IV river and suitable for rafters aged 12 to 55 years old.  This exhilarating excursion covers a distance of 9 kilometres and holds 7 exciting and tough rapids.  Making it more interesting is the amusing names of each rapids.  There's  Merry-Go-Round Rapid, Break Point Rapid, Scooby Doo Rapid, Cobra Rapid, Curve Rapid, Lambada Rapid and Head Hunter Rapid. All this exciting names of the rapid will give you the feel of the motion as what the name means.

The best part of this thrilling activity is that moments of your rafting are caught on camera and video.  Yes, we have to pay for it but its worth the money.  At the end of the rafting, we were exhausted, happy and hungry but all is good.
