Malaysia is an endless range of experiences – from colonial towns enriched in history to modern-day cities and idyllic islands. Start with a trip back in time as you visit the UNESCO Heritage cities of Malacca and George Town, capturing the colour and beauty of colonial heritage buildings, colourful shophouses and temples that have existed for centuries, showcasing the unique confluence of Malaysia’s each of its multi-ethnic, Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European peace-loving influences.
Food is a huge part of any visit to Malaysia. From satay, to laksa, the tastes of Malaysia will forever stay with you. Go on a guided food tour around Kuala Lumpur’s hawker stall scene, or experience the freshest of seafood in the sleepy coastal city of Kuala Terengganu, located just off the South China Sea.
If you love the island scene, take your pick. Langkawi is famous for its white sand beaches and laid back vibe, while Tioman Island has colourful coral reefs, the clear waters, and relaxed scuba diving scene. If you’re an adventurer, and the rainforest excites you, go inland to ancient rainforests in Taman Negara or Belum, home to varied wildlife and canopy walks.
Whether you are looking for an experience in cultural discovery, culinary exploration, or an adventure in nature, Malaysia has a wonderfully balanced range of experiences that will stay with you long after your visit is over!
