Malaysia Things to do

Diving

With pristine coral reefs and abundant and varied fish life, the most rewarding sites can be found on the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia. The stunningly beautiful Perhentian Islands are fast becoming a mecca for divers and offer a laid back atmosphere, perfect white sand beaches and high quality dive operators.

Visit the Orangutans
The Malaysian states of Sabah and Sarawak offer an unmissable opportunity to see the amazing orangutan in its own natural habitat. Two well run reserves house a large number of adult and young orangutan which can be viewed up close during regular feeding times. A major attraction for visitors, it is one of the most popular tourist attractions in East Malaysia and a delightful day out for children.

National Parks
For the adventurous visitor the national parks of Malaysia offer an unforgettable experience journeying through dense rainforest, local tribal communities and diverse wildlife such as rhinos, tigers and panthers. Guided trekking is the best way to discover the Malaysian wilderness with relaxing day hikes to more demanding exploration deep into the rainforest lasting several days.
