White water rafting at Sungai Kampar (Gopeng)
Fun and adventurous would be the suitable words to describe my feeling for doing white water rafting for the first time. There was large group of us (about 40+) joined together doing this together last month.
Well, of course, we are given hour long lecture before we can pick out our stuff and get kicking!
It costs us RM 125 per pax for the white water rafting activity. I’m not sure if the price tag is too steep or what as this is my first time joining in. The water level is quite low on that day so we did not really experience any really steep drop that would surely send everyone going haywire panic screaming! Too bad.
There was a part along the journey where it’s called The Broken Dam. It was about a meter plus in height and if the the water stream flow above the wall, surely it gonna be a bang.
We did not know that they are going to charge us a whooping shocking expensive RM 150 for the shots. Fortunately, they shot a couple photo of ours.
After the grandmother story telling session, here’s some advices from HugoLim.com on your next water rafting trip.
Before getting wet.
- Bring your own (waterproof) camera.
- Of course, bring spare clothes to change after the trip.
While you are getting wet.
- Listen to what your guide say, they won’t kill you although you have signed the letter of liability release.
- Is your waterproof camera with you, still?
- Enjoy crushing into stone.
After you get wet.
- Congrats. You are alive. Get a shower, go home.
PS: Just enjoy the show.
