Malaysia
Kuala Lumpur and Langkawi together create a journey that’s vibrant, hands-on, and full of discovery. In Kuala Lumpur, you’ll dive into Malaysia’s cultural heart through interactive experiences ranging from mastering local flavors in a cooking class and exploring street markets to creating your own batik artwork and uncovering hidden corners of the city during a lively scavenger hunt. A visit to a local Selangor pewter foundry adds a unique look into traditional craftsmanship. Then, Langkawi shifts the pace to island beauty and outdoor adventure: ride the SkyCab to sweeping mountain top views, cycle through peaceful countryside, explore mangroves by river cruise, snorkel in crystal-clear waters, and finish with a private sunset sail.
