My partner and I did the sunrise kayak experience. We got picked up at 4.30 from our accomodation by the couple that run the experience. It was about a 40 min drive to the river. When we arrived we had tea/coffee and biscuits provided. The guide talked about KK and Borneo on the way which was interesting. As first light came we started our kayaking. It was wonderful to see the river come to life in the morning, watching the sun rise over the mountains, beautiful light. Very peaceful. We then stayed by the river banks to watch for wildlife. We saw a turtle, monitor lizards swimming, kingfishers, egrets, other small birds and a family of otters. As we paddled back down we saw another family of otters so that was really special. We then got driven back to KK. The couple work very hard and do a great job. Would recommend this activity - worth the early start. Maybe bring some dry pants to change into as you get a wet bottom...
