Kiulu Water Rafting is suitable for beginners and children, offering a milder adventure. Padas River Rafting is for thrill-seekers, featuring Class III-IV rapids.
Both rafting experiences promise breathtaking scenery, but they cater to different levels of excitement. Kiulu River, located in Tamparuli, flows gently through lush greenery and traditional villages, making it perfect for families and first-timers. The journey typically lasts 1.5 to 2 hours, with opportunities to relax and take in the serene surroundings.
On the other hand, Padas River in Tenom is a roaring adventure set against a backdrop of dense rainforest. Spanning a 9-kilometer stretch, the ride takes about 1.5 hours and guarantees adrenaline-pumping moments with its powerful rapids and sharp twists. This option is ideal for those looking to test their skills and endurance in an exhilarating environment.
Whichever you choose, both offer a unique way to explore Sabah’s natural beauty from the water.

Erwina Edjet2024-11-11Our 2D1N mt Kinabalu hike experience with Remarkable Borneo was great. Though some rains time to time during the walk, we were very lucky to have clear sky when summitting. Starting from the first communication, we had prompt and informative replies from Remarkable Borneo. We're also happy with all inclusions in the package. I will surely recomm friends to go with Remarkable Borneo for the same service. Thanks a lot ! 👍
David Henderson2024-10-20A high-quality personal package in and out of the park in 2D1N without any hitches. A guide who was the best guide ever … Japarin what a legend - and seriously impressive lodging facilities. Despite rain in the jungle the views on the summit plateau really blew my mind! ! Thanks again for a remarkably SUPERB service RBT&T, one that I’ll never forget :) SO HAPPY right now.
Sonia Naphri2024-09-28Really well planned trip and communication was great in the weeks leading up to the hike. We were given a lot of useful information upfront which really helped us plan ahead for our climb of Mt Kinabalu. We felt really taken care of from start to finish. Would highly recommend planning any Kinabalu hikes through this company!
Shermaine Ang2024-08-21This was an experience of a lifetime. Booking this just 1.5weeks before the trip (Via Ferratta Walk the Torq), liaising on WhatsApp with Rose was a dream, who was so patient in arranging for the booking and answering all the questions before I decided to book, to processing payments and allowing for exceptions when payments did not go through. Then reaching Sabah, having Mr Ramlie pick us up in a bus from our hotel and having Mr Fikri from the company at Timphomon gate, the whole registration experience was smooth and pleasant. Our guide up and down the mountain, Dev, was patient and professional and climbing with another couple in a small group meant that as a solo traveller, I felt safe! Overall, Climbing Mt Kinabalu through Remarkable Borneo Travel & Tours was a dream and so smooth, and I would definitely book through this company again.
Zhanna Parashchuk2024-07-30The company was responsive and attentive from first enquiry to post-climb to see how my sons were doing. They provided good information and were able to deal with the couple of outside the box requests and questions we threw at them. When my sons experienced some illness mid-hike, the company kept in touch with us, provided updates, and liaised with the crew on the mountain. Professionals.
Othman Luk2024-07-17We are highly impressed by the care and professional service provided by Remarkable Borneo.. We booked a 3D2N tour to climb Mount Kinabalu..The group consisted of people with age ranging from 16 to 82 years. Remarkable Borneo provided 2 guides to cater for the different speeds of climbing. A lot of things happened to the group. At about 3000 metres, one member suffered from altitude sickness and had to move to a lower level. One guide immediately accompanied him with his companion to a lower ground and arranged accommodation and meals at Kinabalu Park. The 82 years old was climbing at a very slow rate and took 8 hours to reach 3272.7 metres where climbers spent the night before the final assault to the summit the next day. The guide was very patient and let him climb at his own speed. During the night another member felt unwell due to certain stomach bug. The next day this member was very weak and could not move. The guide, Peter, immediately arranged for him to be carried down all the way to the base camp and accompanied him on the way down. The other guide, Luke, came up all the way from Kinabalu Park to accompany the 82 years old to move down slowly. At the end of the day everyone was happily reunited at the base camp where a private transport was awaiting to take them back to their hotel in Kota Kinabalu. We felt we were very well looked after, especially the guides Luke and Peter. We would not hesitate to recommend Remarkable Borneo to anyone.
Lucia Choi2024-06-20We booked Remarkable Borneo to climb Mt. Kinabalu in June 2024. We were 7 ladies total and it all went very smoothly. From the airport to retuning to the city, everything was arranged amazingly. We had 2 guides and they were very helpful and flexible. If I go back, or need to recommend, I wouldn't hesitate to mention remarkable borneo again.
Ellen N2024-06-18What an adventure! It was an amazing trip and very well organized. We didn’t have to think about anything and Didi was the perfect guide! Would highly recommend this tour (3D2N) :)
D. Flens2024-06-183D2N tour geboekt om Mount Kinabalu te beklimmen. De service is top, hele duidelijk uitleg en ook een zeer uitgebreide omschrijving van wat je de dagen gaat doen. Alles tot in de puntjes geregeld, vanaf het oppikken in je hotel tot aan het terugbrengen bij je volgende accommodatie. Tourguide Didi is ook een legend, hele chille gast die ons het tempo liet bepalen en hielp op de stukken waar dat nodig was.
