Spend the afternoon exploring Fraser’s Hill’s natural beauty through its many nature trails. The lush landscapes are a haven for birdwatching, where you can unwind in the cool highland air and surroundings.
Take it easy in Fraser’s Hill today. Golfers can play a round at the Royal Fraser’s Hill Golf Club, one of Malaysia’s oldest golf courses, with a unique blend of sport and history. Later, trek the hill’s many trails. Each path takes you through stunning scenery, from misty mountains to dense forests, where you can admire the breathtaking views that makes Fraser’s Hill a haven from the tropical heat.
Leave the cool highlands of Fraser’s Hill and journey to the heart of Malaysia’s natural heritage, Taman Negara National Park, with a 3 hour drive to Kuala Tembeling. From there, a boat transfer brings you into one of the world’s oldest tropical rainforests. Upon arrival, check into your hotel and take some time to unwind in the natural surroundings.

Have an action packed day in Taman Negara National Park. Start with a morning jungle cruise along the peaceful Tahan River to the mesmerizing Lata Berkoh rapids. From there, hike into the jungle and end with an unforgettable canopy walk. Suspended high above the forest floor, navigate through the treetops and experience the jungle from a bird’s eye view, and gain insight into the ecosystem of this ancient rainforest.
Say goodbye to the lush wilderness of Taman Negara and journey to the Cameron Highlands, a 4 hour drive. This region is famous for its tea plantations and cool climate, a refreshing change from the tropical heat. Upon arrival, stroll through the emerald tea fields, take in the views and the highland air. Have a picnic lunch at the Boh Tea Centre, savour the local flavours in the beautiful highlands. The day winds down as you check into your hotel, a peaceful retreat to relax and reflect on the day’s adventures.
Leave the cool, lush landscapes of the Cameron Highlands and journey for 4 hours to the majestic Belum-Temengor Rainforest, Malaysia’s vast forest complex that is a testament to the country’s biodiversity. Upon arrival, immerse yourself in the natural beauty with a guided tour through this pristine tropical jungle, home to many wildlife and ancient tree species. For more adventure, an optional trip to Perak offers beaches, forest reserves and fishing villages to see more of Malaysia’s varied landscapes. As the day winds down, retreat to the tranquillity of the Belum Rainforest Resort, an elegant haven in the heart of the jungle.
Wake up to the serenity of Belum-Temengor and start the day with a kayaking adventure around the islands, surrounded by peace and tranquillity. The afternoon is more adventure, with fishing off the coast and hiking through the rainforest to discover hidden gems, including a waterfall deep in the jungle. This day is a celebration of nature’s untouched beauty, with intimate encounters with the rainforest’s ecosystem.
Leave the natural haven of Belum-Temengor for Penang, a vibrant island where cultures meet, creating a rich tapestry of heritage and tradition. After a 2.5 hour drive, explore the history of Georgetown with a private guided tour. This UNESCO World Heritage Site is a living museum, with pre-Second World War houses, colonial architecture and religious sites that reflect the island’s multicultural past. End the day by checking into your hotel, where you can unwind and reflect on the cultural richness of Penang.
