Malaysia is very proud with her massively long streams of water that make one of the greatest rivers in the region. The smooth-flowing rivers have long been the playground for the adventurous and the nature-lovers. You can also canoe in the shimmering waters of the river, and try your luck with the catch of the day.
Just sit back and savour the atmosphere while being accompanied by cacophony of sounds from animals and birds in a jungle environment, or just watch the community get on with their way of lives. It is still a new experience to cherish forever. Dapple your feet into the cool waters of the beautiful rivers and enjoy. You can raft your way down on a bamboo raft or sit on a speedboat for a magnificent, quick overview of the sceneries on the rivers from the Batang Rajang River in Sarawak to the Johor River. |
