Highlights of Malaysia

Welcome to Malaysia, and its lively capital, Kuala Lumpur, where the skyline is dominated by the twin Petronas towers. While you’re here you’ll take a trip to the Batu Caves, one of the most important Hindu sights in the country, as well as exploring the suburbs with your guide. Later on, you’ll get the chance to sample some of the world’s best street food on a Street Eats tour, plus spend a day in the historic port city of Malacca, filled with museums, souvenir shops and restaurants dishing up tasty local Nyonya dishes.

Leaving Kuala Lumpur behind, you’ll head up into the cool tea plantations of the Cameron Highlands, where you’ll stop in Tapah. Along the way, stop off at jungle streams and waterfalls, and explore the rose gardens, vegetable farms and tea plantations in the area. The next day, you’ll have some free time – perhaps try a strawberry or two at the strawberry farm, or sample the honey at a honey farm, or simply enjoy the pretty views. On your final day, you’ll be transferred to Penang.

Welcome to Penang, the vibrant and sophisticated ‘Pearl of the Orient’ and a fascinating fusion of East and West. Wander through the World Heritage-listed capital of George Town to see the merging of past and present cultural influences in the city’s architecture, festivals and restaurants. From night markets and shopping strips to some of Malaysia’s most beautiful gardens and beaches, Penang will have you as busy or as chilled as you fancy.
