Malaysia Activities

Ultimate Experience: see sunrise from the top of Malaysian Borneo’s Mount Kinabalu, one of the highest mountains in South East Asia. It is a challenging climb but the reward is more than worth the effort.

Best Beaches: Malaysia has amazing beaches all along its coast, but some of the best can be found in Langkawi and along the quieter east coast.

Where to go for Adventure: the Taman Negara National Park is one of the planet’s oldest tropical rainforests – and one of the most dramatic. It is home to countless species of wildlife and has spectacular caves, waterfalls and mountains.

Water Paradise: Malaysia’s coastline is nothing short of stunning. The island of Redang off the east coast is less visited and offers great diving.

Shopping: Kuala Lumpur has a great combination of traditional markets and modern shopping malls. You’ll find some real bargains whatever you’re after.

Dates for the Diary: the Hindu festival of Thaipusam results in more than a million celebrants congregating at the Batu Caves near Kuala Lumpur (February). The KL festival is a month-long collection of event and performances that takes place across the city (July)

Best for the Kids: children and adults alike will be in awe of Borneo’s wildlife. At the Sepilok Orang-Utan Sanctuary you can get up-close to the magnificent ‘people of the forest.

Best for Couples: Pangkor Laut Resort is a privately-owned island where peace and tranquillity reigns supreme. The Malay-style villas offer the perfect romantic retreat.

Splash out: the 5* Datai Langkawi sits on one of Langkawi’s finest beaches, surrounded by tropical rainforest. The stunning villa accommodation is the ideal complement to the setting.

Live like a local: the villagers of the tea plantations in the Central Highlands allow a fascinating glimpse into traditional life.
