Slim River White Water Rafting Perak Videos
Not many companies provide this venue for white water rafting as the access is a little harder than most of the other rafting circuits.
Slim River offers water rafting enthusiast class one to class three rapids and on good days, and if you are lucky during the rainy season, you may experience class four rapids.
Videos include water rafts getting stuck, going down a class 3 waterfall, getting stuck in a rapid whirlpool, people falling off rafts and even an overturn experience, all here at Sungai Slim white water rafting.

So many of us were a little scared after the first rapid, but the boat captain assured us that it was just a warm up for everyone.
Our raft approached another raft which was stuck at a rock whirlpool, we bump the other raft and then we get stuck there too.
A third raft approaches us and also gets stuck at the same rapid. The guides need to get out to free the stuck rafts while water gushes in. A lot of shouts to “jump jump” was used here to free the rafts by the captains.
On numerous occasions we got pretty much stuck, and had to do the jump-jump in order to free our water raft.
Slim river is quite well known for this and is common during the rainy season. But in any case, it was a great experience for all of us.

At Broken Nose Waterfall Rapid, another larger red raft makes it through without anyone falling off this challenging rapid.
Just so you know, right before the plunge down the waterfall, the captain would call for a boom-boom where everyone gets into the raft and holds on tightly for this experience.
This raft went through the Broken Nose Waterfall Rapid sideways which resulted in someone falling off and holding on tightly to the raft.
After the rafting, I had asked him how it felt, and he said that it was an awesome experience, never before tried in his life.
It looked like they were stuck at the rocks but as we got closer, they were stuck in a rapid whirlpool. As we went in to bump them out, we in turn got stuck in this whirlpool of water.
With water gushing in constantly, it was a terrifying 5 minutes before the guide jumped out to get a rope and pull us out of that ordeal. The video shows you what we went through.
I had accidentally put on the video towards the end part where I was trying to swim to the banks after a few attempts. It was an incredible experience and one of those that I will remember for life.
