The are high chances or tendency all the rafters or guests including the River Guide to be thrown overboard

Basically, the rapid has two drops of approximately three metres high. Upon reaching this rapid, the river guide will shout the word “Boom! Boom!” to indicate that everyone has to sit in the centre of the raft to avoid falling into the river. It is very exhilarating as your raft is thrown through the rapid and you are left to the mercy of the powerful water. 

One rapid called Paddle Breaker marks the site where a guide had his paddle broken in half while going down it. Broken Paddle is the next rapid reflect the concrete ruins of a dam at the river that was once built for the tin mining industry in the Gopeng area. 

After that, all the guests or rafters are going to go through Rajah Corner rapid and Lubuk Puaka rapid. Rajah Corner rapid is the longest rapid in Kampar River. It is aptly named after the big colony of Rajah Brooke butterflies swarming over the rocks along the area, especially in the morning.

Whenever a raft passes through the next rapid called Slide rapid, it has to be in a 30 degree angle so that it can get through the rapid without capsizing. Everyone must move to the high side of the raft so that the raft will be in a slightly tilted position.

Slide rapid is a little tricky and slightly technical as it requires the raft to go through most of the right side before sliding to the middle. A raft can easily get stuck in this rapid, especially when the water level is low. If it happens, rafters must shift to the front or the back of the raft depending on the situation and in the meantime, the guide will push the raft back into the main current. It requires skillful manoeuvering because of frequent obstructions.

Snake rapid comes after Slide rapid. Snake rapid got its name simply because the curve of the river looks like a snake. Your raft will go through a zigzag pattern to clear out of this rapid.

Lubuk Pulai rapid refers to a skillful trick river kayakers love to do at this rapid. The play manoeuver involves nosing the boat’s bow down and deep and the stern up resulting in the kayak popping vertically upward.

Seeing a flock of chickens running around the area during their first recce, the guides decided to name one rapid Chicken Run. Another is called Eddy Point, the white water terminology for an area where two currents from the opposite direction met to create a circular or spiral motion in the water. and Radio rapid is consider the last rapid before reach the ENDING POINT at Sg Kampar PUBG campsite area
