White Water rafting: Kaituna River


Kaituna river basically has 3 waterfalls: at 2m, 1m and 7 m respectfully.. 7m!! I have rafted before in Sabah.. but never have I gone down vertically from a 7m waterfall.
Before we started our adventure our guide gave us a few pointers about safety issues. "There are 3 possibilities that could happen when we go down the fall," he said.
"1. The raft falls and lands beautifully, we hold our paddles up and celebrate!
2. The raft overturns and lands upsidedown.. just hold on to the rope and swim out of the overturned raft..
3. The raft falls and lands beautifully, and when we hold out our paddles, we notice one is missing. If you fall out of the raft down the 7m drop, curl into a ball, count to 5 and go to your happy place."

Only when he mentioned the 3rd possibility did i get nervous.

eek.. but we survived and it was amazing fun!!! Some pictures to give you an idea..
Survived and conquered Kaituna! Weee..
