Classic Family Malaysia and Singapore

Day 1 Depart the UK

Depart the UK on your overnight flight to Kuala Lumpur.

Days 2-4 Kuala Lumpur

On arrival in Kuala Lumpur, your guide will meet you and accompany you on the private transfer to your hotel. Your accommodation will be in a two bedroom apartment in a hotel in the heart of the city.  Spend your first evening relaxing and recovering from the flight.

Days 5-7 Penang

It only takes an hour to fly from KL to Penang but, what with check-in times and getting to and from the airport at either end; it's not necessarily quicker than travelling by road.  Add in some stops along the way and the road option we've chosen here is more fun too!

You’ll visit a small museum dedicated to the history of indigenous people and call into the Royal town of Kuala Kangsar where the Sultan of Perak resides, before visiting the only Orangutan research facility in Peninsular Malaysia. A short boat ride will take you to see the endangered species roaming free.

On arrival in Penang, you’ll check into a family suite at a boutique hotel in Georgetown. We recommend staying in Georgetown as it's the hub of Penang's culture with a mix of colonial and indigenous architecture, varied street food and a thriving art scene. Your itinerary can be changed to include a beach hotel in Penang, although we’ve allocated plenty of beach time later (in Langkawi). During your stay here your guide will take you on a tour of the town - you’ll get to taste the best Dim Sum and learn a little about the street art too.

You’ll also spend a day with your guide exploring Penang’s National Park, the smallest and youngest of Malaysia’s National Parks. We recommend the 3km trail to Pantai Kerachut, a beautiful white sand beach with a seasonal lake that is home to turtles and is a great place to enjoy a banana leaf wrapped local lunch.

Days 8 -12 Langkawi

It is possible to take a ferry from Penang to Langkawi, but it isn't especially fast and can be a bit choppy, so this time we recommend the flight; it's just 30 minutes from island to island. On arrival transfer to your beach hotel, The Andaman. This hotel is a fantastic option for families; it's located on a beautiful, sweeping white sand bay and is surrounded by an ancient rainforest, so nature alone provides a range of activities to enjoy. Take a guided jungle walk as you look out for monkeys, hornbills and macaques; use kayaks and paddleboards to explore the water, and learn about the fragile offshore ecosystem with the resort's coral conservation project. ]
