I went for KKB Waterrafting with Pierose.
Place : +40minute from Kuala Lumpur (by car/taxi)
Amount : MYR 180 (Kuala Kubu Bharu)
Duration : 4 hours
Distance : 4-6 km of river stream with Level 1-4
If you never try it and feel a little bit fright, no worry just try.
It will be fun and chill.
There were 8 of us, we were looking forward to the KKB course but unfortunately the dam was closed as we were informed by Mr Pie himself on the same morning.
We were then directed to the Kolam Air Panas Slim River course (about an hour away from KKB) which little did we know, a very challenging trail awaits.
The endless rocks were our obstacles, I think the water level was too low, we were guided by 2 guides per raft but unfortunately they did not have the chemistry and there were a lot of miscommunications which resulted in confusing instructions given causing us to get really exhausted within the first 30 minutes. Our raft was literally caught and stuck at every obstacles. I was very annoyed and depressed, not to mention exhausted. I'm not a first timer, this was my 3rd run.
Luckily they decided to change one of the guide (main, front) and the replacement was more experienced and we can see he is a nurturer and certainly more patience and he managed to guide us through better. We were so grateful.
We feedback this to Mr Pie before we left and his comments were that he said young people "are like that". We expected a more 'productive' answer than that.
Overall, it was a satisfactory experience - the food was good during lunch. Mr Pie himself we observed is a very experienced rafter/guide. He sent us the pictures and videos of us in the river and tackling the rapids fairly quickly and we appreciate that.
Lastly there's only 1 big drop which provides a thrill in the slim river river. KKB is still a much better choice.
I joined one of their rafting event last 3 years. As I remember, it was fun!challenging! and get your adrenaline rushing!
With RM180, you will get 1. Fun filled, drenching wet and thrilling white water rafting. From Downstream of KKB Dam to KKB town. 2. 2 meals which is snack during the break time and lunch 3. Safe parking and showering facility. 4. Photos of your action!
They are usually available on every weekend. Confirmation and reservation can be made via jomoutdoor on facebook. And guess what, after 3 years, the price is still RM180... :-)
Please dont expect much on the shower facility.
This was a fantastic experience. We had a great time. Make sure to give them lots of notice - and try to be flexible. The Selangor River is the best but the water level depends on how much water is released by the dam that day. Pie won't know that until the morning. So it's good to be flexible.
I've been rafting with Pie and his team many times over the years in Kuala Kubu Bharu (and sometimes Slim River), and I've never been disappointed. I've been back with them with many different groups of friends because I'm comfortable with their attention to safety, detailed safety instructions, and generally great attitude.
One would usually leave KL at 7am, and be back by 4.30pm. They provide water, lunch and snacks, and a place to clean up. It's recommended that you wear sandals with a strap/covered shoes.
While they can't control water conditions, they will always look to give you a great rafting experience regardless. If one river doesn't offer great conditions, they will bring you elsewhere.
My only issue is that they sometimes book too many groups. This doesn't present a safety issue because of their safety-oriented practices, but it does get a bit lengthy because you'll have to wait for other rafts to clear certain points before moving on.
Regardless, I always come back to them because I trust that they will show me a great way to experience nature, and will get me and my friends home safe.
Book with Mr Pie +6013-3613991, It's RM180, no GST charged. The journey from town to Kuala Bharu Bharu Post Office meeting point is around 1 - 1.5 hours journey. Mr Pie is the person in charged at Selangor River and he gave a very loud and clear guidance to the newcomer and rafters. His team of boat guide are amazing people too! there are also local foods been provided after the who rafting journey! I met a german & canadian couple there, they said they have been to water rafting in thailand and bali, but the selangor river experience is so far the best experience ever.
