It is depend on your objective and how
adventure people you are. The most thrilling river in peninsular
malaysia will be Singor River in Belum Rainforest at Grik, Perak. It required more
experience rafters to participate. If this is your first rafting experience, then Kampar River in Gopeng will be the perfect choice. It is a great river for family outing. If you look for family outing rafting

easy river to raft and less rapid. The most popular river will be Selangor River located just one and a half hour ride from Kuala Lumpur. With rapid grading from 1 to 4. It's perfect for adventure thrill seekers. If you are travel in East Malaysia. Padas River in Sabah will be the popular river to raft. It is depend on what you

Must I know how to swim?
Many rafters cannot swim but you should
be comfortable in water. On all trips, Coast Guard-approved
lifejackets are provided and must be worn. On advanced trips
it is recommended that you have basic swimming skills. In general

able to follow instructions

for 20 years and has maintained an excellent safety record.
Our Team Members go through extensive training before graduated
as a trained guide. All of our guides are trained in CPR and
First Aid. OXBold takes pride in providing our guests with a
quality trip that are both safe and enjoyable. However, due
to the nature of whitewater rafting and other associated activities,
OXBold and its affiliates assume no responsibility for personal
safety or loss of personal property. All participants are required

Not for Singoh River. You need minimum 10 people to start the trip. However, you may join the other group on the same trip.
How are rapids rated for difficulty?
International Scale of River Difficulty
Grade 1 - Easy. Few or no obstructions; fast moving water with riffles; risk to swimmers is slight. Grade 2 - Novice. Wide clear channels; occasional maneuvering; rocks and medium-sized waves are easily avoided by trained paddlers; risk to swimmers is low; assistance is helpful but rarely needed. Grade 3 - Intermediate. Rapids with moderate, irregular waves which may be difficult to avoid and capable of swamping a canoe; complex maneuvers in fast current and narrow passages require good boat control; large waves, holes and strainers may be present but are easily avoided; powerful current; scouting advisable; swimmers are unlikely to be injured but assistance may be needed to avoid a long swim. Grade 4 - Advanced. Intense, powerful rapids; turbulent water; may involve long, unavoidable waves, holes or constricted passages demanding fast maneuvers under pressure; may require "must" moves above dangerous hazards; risk of injury to swimmers in moderate to high; group assistance to swimmers requires practiced skills. Grade 5 - Expert. Long, obstructed, turbulent rapids; drops may contain very large unavoidable waves, holes or steep congested chutes with complex demanding routes; several of these factors may be combined at the upper level of this class; rescue is extremely difficult; above average rescue skills are essential. Grade 6 - Almost Impossible. Difficulties of Class V are carried to the limits of navigability; very dangerous; risks are high and rescue may be impossible; for teams of experts only under favorable conditions. Do I need to be physically fit?
You need to paddle and balance the raft. It's a team work sport. You do not need to be an athelete, however
a good physical condition and water confident is recommended. Lifejacket limitations
are a maximum girth of 52". For any medical conditions
that may be affected by strenuous activity please consult your
doctor. IF YOU ARE PREGNANT, YOU WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE!
What should I wear?
You need more sets of clothing for Singoh River Rafting - Wet set for
the river rafting - long or short sleeved T-shirt; boardshort; long
pant; short pant and anything comfortable. Dry set
for rest, camp at night and return. Jeans are not recommended! A pair of shoes that
will stay on your feet are recommended. Wetsuit or booties (or
both) is an added advantage.
What happens if there is bad weather?
Rain: Trips go rain or shine. You are
going to get wet anyway so why not enjoy your river trip. Rainy
days also provide some of the most beautiful scenery as fog
and mist rise off the river.
Lightning: In the event of a locally severe lightning storm, trips may stop and pull over on the bank. Exposure while on the river is at a minimum because of the high ridgelines and trees that surround the river. Trip starts may be delayed if a storm is occuring at the rafting center. High Water/ Dry: If the water levels on any of the rivers exceeds safe levels or dry, trips may be cancelled or relocated to another river. In the case of a trip cancellation, guests are offered the option to reschedule or receive a full refund. What meals are provided and what is for lunch?
You will have 3 meals and a few break for drink and rest. Lunch is included in all our rafting trips: Lunch consists of a sandwich, cheese, meat, condiments and fixings,
pickles, chips & salsa, fruit, veggies, trail mix, cookies and a drink. (The exact menu varies slightly depending on the trip).
What factors determine the age/weight requirements?
The line has to be drawn somewhere. We
have seen kids below the minimums that were perfectly capable
and we have seen kids that meet all the minimum requirements,
but still are not ready!
The determining factors usually revolve around the likelyhood of a flip or swim and at what age a child listen to and understand instructions. Can the child understand the dangers? Does the child have enough size or body fat to have control of their body in cool water? Can the child rescue themselves or will the parents be so concerned about a young child they put their own health at risk? Minimum ages and/or weights are usually set by the Chief Guide who regulates each river. OXBOLD will not knowingly take an underage person on our trips, we do ask and we do require a signature from a parent signifying proper age. Should you push the limit with your child? No, it is not worth the risk! What does the package rate cover?
Singoh River package rate covered: White
water raftting gears (paddle, 'PFD' Life Jacket & helmet),
rescue & emergency training and equipment, regeneration
food for half way break and all meals during the whole rafting trip, Rafting
guidea & service of raft captain and river guides.
