Jungles, Home-stay & Islands
Experience off-the-beaten-track Peninsular Malaysia. Food, heritage, jungles, a home-stay adventure and a castaway beach break.
Experiences in Malaysia range from tropical encounters in the jungle to blissful beach escapes on remote islands, and from insightful tours through myriad cultures to culinary journeys your palette will never forget. Our favourite things to do in Malaysia are a little bit different, but show a side to this dynamic country that few travellers get to see.
IT'S ALL ABOUTTHE EXPERIENCE
At Experience Travel Group, the clue is in the name: to us, your experience is everything. We want our travellers to come home with memories to keep, not just photos to show.
Whether it’s putting a twist on a main highlight or going off-the-beaten-track, we create experiences in partnership with local people so that you get an authentic insight into Malaysian life. Our city tours of Kuala Lumpur take in both iconic sights like the Petronas Towers and lesser-known quarters that burst with energy. For the intrepid, our jungle excursions are guided by expert naturalists, giving you the best chance of spotting wildlife ethically and sustainably. And our knowledge of beaches is second to none: we will bring your Robinson Crusoe fantasies to life.
OUR SIGNATURE EXPERIENCES - A SNEAK PEEK
Signature experiences are designed from scratch by the ETG experts; you won’t find these anywhere else. Along with our in-country partners, we have come up with tours, activities or trips that reveal the fabric of the destination. Here’s a little glimpse of what we mean.
Discover the Secrets of the Rainforest
Stay at a research station on the edge of one of Southeast Asia’s greatest rainforests. Guided by an expert naturalist, you’ll be entranced by the wide variety of wildlife in this 130 million-year-old rainforest.
Experience Another Way of Life
Spend time with an indigenous tribe as they share their astonishing environment with you: take in the bird’s eye view from the peak of a towering limestone pinnacle, swim in waterfall pools and fall asleep to the sounds of the wilderness in a jungle camp.
Majestic Cave Adventure
Take an underground boat journey through some of the world's largest caves in Mulu National Park. The scale and drama of the limestone formations - and the millions of bats who make these caves their home - have to be seen to be believed.
THE RECIPE FOR ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME MALAYSIA EXPERIENCES
GET OFF THE TRAIL
There is quite a set tourist route in Malaysia. We have scoped out unspoilt island retreats, hidden jungle lodges and traditional homestays where you can get a flavour of typical Malay village life.
Great food
Malaysia is an amazing destination for food, so we make sure you get to try a variety. With Indian, Chinese and Indonesian cultures and influences from everything from Thai to Portuguese.
Diverse cultural heritage
Explore idiosyncratic Chinese mansions and colourful Indian Temples then pass by glitzy modern skyscrapers before taking afternoon tea in a colonial cafe - we’ll make sure you see Malaysia old and new from a variety of cultural perspectives.
ethical wildlife adventures
Malaysia’s jungles are precious and, sadly, endangered. But tourism, done the right way, can be part of the solution. That’s we always ensure our wildlife experiences are sustainable with respect to the animals and their habitats.
