The fundamental scheme of this raft is that it can be assembled or dismantled by eight adults within 25 minutes, costing RM650-800 and can be utilized for more than five times. It is a cheap recreational and eco-friendly mode to spend leisure activities without causing pollution to the river. The minimum drift duration is four days with average drifting speed of 4.2km/h covering a distance of 30 to 35 km per day.
