Our favorite Malaysia experiencesThese experiences uncover Malaysia’s layered personality – from glassy skyscrapers and vivid street art to ancient rainforest and hillside tea plantations.Plan my trip Overview Trip ideas Experiences Places to visit Best time to visit Accommodation Malaysia has an incredibly rich mix of cultures born from centuries at the heart of the world’s historic trade routes, but sometimes it takes a local’s perspective to really put you in touch with it. That’s why we’ve put so much effort into finding these tours, classes and hands-on activities.Learn how Kuala Lumpur’s skyline came to be on a guided architecture tour through colonial, Islamic and modern landmarks. Venture into the rainforest at Taman Negara or Belum, where canopy walks and jungle treks reveal one of the world’s oldest ecosystems. Explore KL’s Tamil community on a Little India walking tour, hike the cool slopes of the Cameron Highlands before pausing for tea, or snack your way through dim sum joints and hidden street art on an after-dark urban stroll. Taman Negara National Park • Malaysia Discover the rainforests of Taman NegaraThis two-night tour barely scratches the surface of this 4,000 sq km, 130 million-year-old rainforest – but it’s an excellent place to start. Kuala Lumpur • Malaysia Kuala Lumpur architecture tourIt’s best known for its rocket-like Petronas Towers, but Kuala Lumpur is more than just plate glass and polished steel. Banding Island • Malaysia Belum Rainforest explorationYou can’t just pitch up at a rainforest and head off on your own. That’d be silly. You need a really fantastic tour with an expert nature guide – and that’s exactly what this is. Cameron Highlands • Malaysia Tea and trekking in the Cameron HighlandsThis is a tour of contrasts: the cultivated and the truly untamed. Start and finish at the tea plantations – the region's star attraction – where you’ll learn how the leaves are grown and processed plus get to try some of the local blends. Kuala Lumpur • Malaysia Introduction to Little IndiaWhen South Indian immigrants came to Malaysia during British colonial rule, they brought their delicious roti, spicy curries and colorful gopura towers with them. Penang • Malaysia Dim sum & street art tourGeorge Town’s street-art scene was born in 2010, when 52 steel artworks appeared around the city. When “Lithuanian Banksy” Ernest Zacharevic added eight murals in 2012, it cemented its reputation as one of the trendiest street-art destinations in the world. Malacca • Malaysia Cycling in rural MalaccaThis tour shows there’s plenty more to Malacca than colonial architecture. Covering a 20 km loop of easy cycling, it follows flat, shady paths through paddy fields, kampung villages and rubber plantations. Langkawi • Malaysia Mangrove forest kayakWhile you might have heard of Langkawi’s famously lovely beaches, chances are you didn’t know that this tropical paradise was also a UNESCO Geopark, with 90 protected sites scattered across 99 islands. Kuala Lumpur • Malaysia Insider Experience: Evening tour of Kuala Lumpur's street food, hidden art and barsThis isn’t just the best street-food tour in Kuala Lumpur, it's one of the best we’ve done anywhere. And we’ve done lots. Penang • Malaysia Penang heritage trailBegin learning about George Town’s 200-year history over a breakfast of freshly baked Bengali bread, then delve into its Chinese roots with a visit to the former HQ of one of the city’s Five Great Clans. Malacca • Malaysia Historical walking tour of MalaccaThis walking tour will introduce you to every aspect of Malacca’s eclectic heritage, from Portuguese fortresses to Dutch clock towers and everything in between. Malaysia Islands & beaches of MalaysiaMalaysia has some of the whitest sands, bluest seas, and greenest jungles anywhere on the planet, and the opportunities for diving and snorkeling its teeming coral reefs are magnificent.
