The Course takes place in beautiful natural surroundings in the Kiulu river, with spectacular views of the rainforest and Mount Kinabalu. At this place the water reaches temperatures of about 25 -33 Celsius all year round, which makes it a suitable and comfortable place to learn more about white-water kayaking.- and our base by the river is great place to relax after a day full of adventure and new experiences.
