Malaysia is one of Asia’s most rewarding and easy-going destinations. The skyline of Kuala Lumpur gives way to the colonial streets and hawker food of Penang and Malacca, the cool tea plantations of the Cameron Highlands and island beaches on Langkawi and the Perhentians. Across the South China Sea, Malaysian Borneo is home to orangutans, proboscis monkeys and some of the oldest rainforest on the planet.
We have been creating tailor-made holidays since 2007, and our specialists know Malaysia well beyond Kuala Lumpur: the rainforest of Taman Negara, the river lodges of the Kinabatangan, the slopes of Mount Kinabalu and island hideaways such as Pangkor Laut and Gaya Island. Good roads and widely spoken English make the peninsula ideal for a self-drive, while Borneo is best explored with expert local guides. Every itinerary is built around your pace and interests.
