Itinerary
Arrive in Singapore, Southeast Asia's financial powerhouse and famously its cleanest, greenest city. Located just one degree north of the equator and surrounded by rainforest, modern-day Singapore is uniquely positioned to understand its own impact on the environm...
This morning we head off on foot to discover more of this eclectic city. We start in the characterful commune of Little India, which grew from an Indian enclave in the 19th Century to the buzzing community we find today; brimming with restaurants, shops and art galler...
Leaving Singapore behind this morning, we cross at Woodlands checkpoint on to the Johor Causeway bridge into Malaysia. We drive north, reaching the Dutch-colonial settlement of Malacca in around four hours. Malacca is one of the oldest towns in Malaysia, and certainly...
Old Malacca is a fascinating area to wander around and discover and this morning we include a walking tour of some of the major sights such as the tomb of Hang Kasturi, one of Malacca's five great 15th century warriors, and Cheng Hoon Teng Temple the oldest Chinese te...
This morning we head out of the city and on to the iconic Batu Caves. Some 272 steps lead up to the sacred Hindu temple that lies inside the cave, and wonderful views of the city and beyond can be had from the entrance. The temple is a shrine to a Hindu deity, Lord Mu...
We will catch a train to Ipoh first thing in the morning and we will then head north to Perak. Although a journey of 200 kilometres, the drive is comfortable and on a well-laid highway. We expect to make it to our homestay in Chenderoh Lake by the early afternoon. ...
This morning has been left free to relax in our natural surroundings. There is the option to take a kayak and have a gentle paddle around the calm waters of Chendorah Lake, or perhaps take another short walk. Waving goodbye to our hosts we set off for the Cameron H...
Travelling by 4WD this morning, we will drive out to the nearby 'Mossy Forest' for a short walk through this eerie landscape. The forest lies at the highest elevation of this range, and as such is enveloped in near-permanent cloud cover, covering the forest in mist an...
Often called the 'Pearl of the Orient' by the local people, Penang lies some 4km off the Malay mainland. Its deep-water harbour is ideal for trade and so the island has become a haven of commerce. This morning we take an excursion around the island by private bus; vis...
We rise early this morning for our hour and half drive to Kuala Kedah and then take a ferry to the idyllic island paradise of Langkawi, a journey of approximately three hours. Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 islands lying just off the west coast of the Malays...
Today is a free day where you can choose to relax on the beautiful coconut palm-fringed beaches or perhaps snorkel amongst the tropical fish of the Andaman Sea. If you would prefer to remain more active, there are a number of optional excursions which can be arranged....
We have another free day to relax, unwind, or explore.
Meals Provided : Breakfast
