Bespoke travel experts Experience Travel Group are excited to launch their first programme of holidays to the dynamic destination of Malaysia. Boasting a fascinating mix of ancient culture, diverse wildlife, mouth-watering food and cosmopolitan cities, Malaysia is the perfect place to enjoy a truly varied holiday. Experience Travel Group's experts have spent the past year developing an exciting portfolio of holidays that will both tick off some of the country's well-known hotspots and take travellers beyond the usual tourist trail.

The following three sample tours demonstrate just some of the unforgettable new itineraries on offer.

The Highlights and Beyond

From £3,140 per person, including accommodation, experiences, a number of meals, entrance fees, guides, transport, flights, 24hr in-country back up and access to a dedicated travel expert in the UK. 

Offering the best of both worlds, this itinerary enables visitors to take in Malaysia's main highlights and explore off-the-beaten track too. Highlights include getting under the skin of Kuala Lumpur; spotting the extraordinary flora and fauna in the 130-million-year-old rainforest of Belum State Park; and experiencing traditional Malay life at a rural homestay near the royal capital of Kuala Kangsar. The tour finishes on the enchanting island of Langkawi, where travellers can enjoy some of Malaysia's very best beaches – the beach at the stunning The Datai Langkawi resort is one of National Geographic's 'Top 10 Beaches in the World'.

The flavours of Malaysia and Singapore

From £3,650 per person, including accommodation, experiences, a number of meals, entrance fees, guides, transport, flights, 24hr in-country back up and access to a dedicated travel expert in the UK. 

One to tempt the taste buds, this holiday gives travellers the chance to get to grips with the culture and history of Malaysia and Singapore while sampling some of the region's exotic and varied cuisine. From enjoying Penang's delicious dim sum and striking street art and exploring Kuala Lumpur's 'Little India' to partaking in a Malay cookery class and dining under the stars, this itinerary will sate the appetites of even the most fanatical foodies. As with all good holidays to Malaysia, the tour ends with a little R&R at a beautiful beach resort.

Malaysia's wildlife and nature encompassed

From £4,500 per person, including accommodation, experiences, a number of meals, entrance fees, guides, transport, flights, 24hr in-country back up and access to a dedicated travel expert in the UK. 

A real Malaysian medley, this three-week tour takes in the country's most striking natural wonders and wildlife – both on land and on the water. Offering a well-paced mix of action and relaxation, this holiday has many highlights including getting up close and personal with Malaysian Borneo's orangutans, pygmy elephants and primates; journeying into the lush green jungles of the Taman Negara National Park; and relaxing on the white-sand beaches of the tropical Perhentian Islands.
