Bukit Perahu, Tamparuli

Last time, I went to Bukit Perahu, which is in Tamparuli. It was a 30 min climb (by foot  of course) and could be quite dangerously slippery when it's raining.

I have to say that I am quite fortunate to witness such a beautiful glorious morning view from the top of the hill. You can see the small town of Tamparuli and Tuaran from the hill and also the vast South China Sea from afar. You can go there in the morning or in the evening to view the sunset when the weather is fine.

Kiulu River, Tamparuli

Hello...Kiulu river is a very popular tourist spot for those who likes white water-rafting..
The water is clear and clean, but on rainy seasons it may turn to chocolate and dark brown
the water flow will be more turbulent..

Nevertheless, it is much safer than rafting in Sungai Padas (Padas River), Sungai = River.

The Kiulu river is an hour and a half by road north of Kota Kinabalu. Take in the magnificent views of the surrounding countryside from the hilltops as you drive to the town of Tamparuli. By the banks of the river, participants assemble for a briefing on safety procedures.
