What are extreme sports without speed, excitement and muscle aches at the end of it all. For all you daredevils and adrenaline junkies out there, if you crave for some hot-blooded, adrenaline-pumping activities to quench your thirst for thrills, this is the list for you!
#1 Water Rafting
This water sport is available in many parts of Malaysia with different classes (ranging from safe to life threatening). Sungai Gopeng and Slim River are go-to spots for casual rafters, suitable for many including beginners.
For hardcore rafters, Sungai Singor is the place to be. It lies on the border of Perak and Kelantan and flows through the untouched rainforest. Due to the length of the river, most expeditions provide a 3 days 2 nights offer, ensuring an exhausting yet worthwhile rafting experience.
Often, rafters will reach out to companies which provide such expedition. Oxbold is among the many in Malaysia. They provide all sorts of services for various extreme sports with attractive packages at a reasonable cost.

#2 Rock Climbing
Rock climbing is only for the fearless and the strong. It requires massive amounts of upper body strength and even stronger fingers.
Batu Caves is a hotspot for rock climbing aside from being a spiritual grounds for Hindus. It has 8 crags starting from the ground and about 170 routes available – perfect for newbies willing to give rock climbing a try.
However, due to KL’s unpredictable weather conditions, you can always head to Camp 5, Petaling Jaya for an indoor rock climbing experience.
In contrast to Batu Caves, Camp 5 is located in an enclosed environment, specifically, on the 5th floor of 1 Utama Shopping Centre. It is the largest climbing gym in Asia standing at 24m high and is fully air-conditioned. The gym also offers a 270-degree panoramic view of the city, a café and a climbing workshop.
It has 400 boulders, lead routes and top ropes, suited for all, ranging from beginners to advanced. Routes are altered and changed every 3 – 6 months, keeping things fresh and challenging.

#3 Zorbing
Zorbing is a fun recreational activity with a dash of dizziness. It does not require any skill, physical strength or technique, just some safety instructions and you’re ready to roll – pun intended.
Zorbing is basically strapping yourself inside a large ball and rolling down a hill. Every ball has a maximum capacity of 2 people and an interior padding, protecting those within it as the rolling begins.
One place that you could engage in this fun filled activity is at Malaysia Agro Exposition Park Serdang (MAEPS), covering a wide 368 acres of land, with a perfect mix of building and nature, bringing out the beauty of the landscapes.

#4 Flyboarding
Soar through the skies like the Green Goblin with flyboarding.
This unique sporting experience involves attaching a PWC (Personal Water Craft) which propels the Flyboard into the air, with the use of air and water. As costly as it may be, flyboarding is rare in the Southeast Asean region – Malaysia included, hence justifiable with the amount paid.
