Discovering Malaysia’s lush rainforests, ancient temples and pristine beaches is a treat for any traveller

Malaysia tours

On Malaysia tours you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to adventure. There are paradise beaches, deep diving waters and wildlife-packed jungles, so there can be no doubting that trips to Malaysia offer something for everyone as you explore a nation that effortlessly combines ancient culture with high-tech industrialisation.

The country is split into two regions, Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo, home of the orangutan. The infrastructure makes it easy to get around and explore the superb beaches and national parks, meaning our Malaysia tours are as relaxing and hassle-free as possible.

So if it’s a largely unexplored land of contrasts you’re after, look no further than one of our trips to Malaysia – its range of exciting wildlife and beautiful, unspoilt trekking routes make this the ideal destination for that adventure of a lifetime.

Must-see highlights of our Malaysia Tours

1. The orangutans at Sepilok Sanctuary: Asia’s only great ape lives in the forests of Borneo. These fascinating creatures prove a real highpoint of our trips to Malaysia but have unfortunately suffered a dramatic decline in numbers over recent years, chiefly due to deforestation and palm oil plantations. Sepilok is the largest sanctuary in the world and rehabilitates orphans and captured orangutans before releasing them back into the wild.

2. Climb Mount Kinabalu: At over 4000m, Mount Kinabalu is the highest peak in South East Asia. A well-marked trail takes you up through a number of different vegetation zones, from the rainforest floor up into forests of chestnut and oak. Mists swirl all around you on entering the cloud forest, a place dripping with orchids, pitcher plants and rhododendrons, and the views at sunrise from Kinabalu are truly spectacular.

3. Discover Deer Cave: Deep in the dark mysterious forest, Deer Cave is more than 2km long, peaks at more than 120m in height and is home to literally millions of bats. Every night there is a mass exodus of four to five million when, as dusk descends, great swarming clouds pour out of the cave on their daily forage for food. An incredible sight not to be missed on our Malaysia tours, great black streaks rise from the cave like huge floating silk scarves.

What could be more scintillating than river cruising, spotting proboscis monkeys or enjoying a food tour of Kuala Lumpur? Our tours in Malaysia offer all these exciting opportunities, so why not get in touch with one of our friendly team today and start planning that trip of a lifetime.

An amazing two weeks – first half spotting wildlife in the Borneo rainforest then a week on the mainland visiting colonial towns and modern cities. A perfect blend of two holidays merged into one. A full on itinerary but never felt too rushed, the hotels were mainly very good, the exception being the final hotel in Langkawi which in my opinion is in dire need of some refurbishement, a bit of a disappointment after the lovely hotel in Penang. Food was good with an exceptional group meal on the final night in Langkawi. Most trips were included in price only additional cost was the cable car and mangrove tour in Langawi both of which were worth doing. Melaka was great fun, a little bit bonkers and very lively night life, a real culture shock after our time in the simple lodges in the Borneo rainforest. We also took a 2nd trishaw tour in Penang to see the street art, not included in trip but we all really enjoyed it and saw a lot more than on foot as quite a big town. For a bit of luxury try the cocktails or afternoon tea at the Eastern and Oriental hotel in Penang (think Raffles in Singapore). A really lovely group of people helped make this one of my most memorable holidays. My first time on an organised tour but I’m a convert and this wont be my last.

Sian Allen Borneo & the Malaysian Peninsula

What can I say – what an amazing trip. From start to finish we were incredibly lucky with what we saw and the encounters we had. Starting in Bako NP, we saw wild proboscis monkey and were treated to a rare sighting of a Colugo (flying lemur) taking flight over our heads during the day. On the way back on the boat, we were even treated to a viewing of pink dolphins.

In Mulu, the caves were beautiful and great fun to walk through. Although we were supposedly there during the ‘dry’ season, climate change has made the weather much more unpredictable. We had lovely weather both mornings, but torrential rain in the afternoons and overnight, so much so that the bats stayed inside the cave on the first night. Patience and a willingness to walk in the rain with crossed fingers paid off on the second night, and we were treated to a spectacular bat exodus during sunset. The weather is very changeable in Mulu (and Borneo in general) so even if it looks as though it may be too wet for the bats, I would recommend heading to the viewing area anyway as you never know! Even in the rain, the air temperature is warm and you dry off quickly.

Moving to Sabah, the highlights have to be the Kinabatangan River and Danum Valley. Both were so rich in wildlife and we had such amazing viewings in both locations. The Orangutan and Proboscis monkey sanctuaries are great and do fabulous work, but nothing compares to seeing these animals truly out in the wild. We were incredibly lucky with our sightings and saw not only the Borneo Big 5 (orangutan, proboscis monkey, crocodile, rhinoceros hornbill and pygmy elephant) but a huge array of other primates and birds (long and short tail macaques, gibbons, silver and red leaf monkeys, flying squirrels, owls, civets, slow loris, eagles, deer and many more) . Particularly in Danum Valley, take the opportunity to do as much as possible. There are a couple of places on the track and boardwalk that you can go independently providing the sun is up. A few of us in the group met up at 6am on both mornings in Danum and we were rewarded with a group of gibbons eating and playing in the trees on both mornings – a sight not repeated during the day. Seize every opportunity and just explore and enjoy.
