The Selangor River rafting route is fed by the regulated water release from the nearby Selangor Dam, ensuring consistent flow conditions.
The rafting stretch features a variety of rapids, including sections historically known as 'Drop,' 'Double Drop,' and 'Corner' rapids.
The river basin is a key water catchment area supplying a significant portion of the Klang Valley's potable water.
The rafting activity takes place within a lush dipterocarp forest corridor, home to local flora and fauna such as monitor lizards and various kingfisher species.
Water Rafting Kuala Kubu Bahru by PROJEK OUTDOOR provides guided white-water rafting expeditions along the Selangor River. The route covers approximately 7 to 8 kilometers of Grade 3 rapids, offering a mix of technical paddling and calm stretches. The river path navigates through the tropical rainforest of the Hulu Selangor district. All sessions are facilitated by certified river guides who provide safety briefings and equipment, including life jackets and helmets. The activity is suitable for individuals with a basic level of physical fitness and comfort in the water. Participants launch from the Kampung Gerachi area near the Selangor Dam. The operation is currently active as of July 2026.
The calm pool area located at the end of the rafting route provides an ideal setting for group photos with the river and forest backdrop.
