Conquer the off-road, conquer the rapids
The Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills getaway is an adrenaline-fueled rafting adventure along Slim River in Perak.
Adventurers will navigate a beginner-friendly 4x4 off-road course before experiencing the thrill of whitewater rafting along the Slim River.
Open to four people per vehicle, the Ranger 4x4 Off-Road Course and Water Rafting Thrills getaway kicks off with a convoy from Ford Ara Damansara to the rafting starting point in Kampung Ulu Slim.
Along the way, participants will test their basic 4x4 skills on a beginner-friendly off-roading course under the guidance of expert instructors.
Upon arrival at the rafting starting point, participants will embark in groups with local or Orang Asli guides on a two-hour “roller coaster” run along the river.
The eight-km stretch, peppered with fun class two rapids and one huge class three rapid, is a great introduction to whitewater rafting.
The rafting trail also includes a scenic pit stop at Lobok Kotak where participants can enjoy a refreshing swim.
