Waterworld
Blessed with some of the best beaches and diving spots in the world, Malaysia is famed for its island getaways and marine parks. The islands of Pangkor, Langkawi and Kapas offer breathtaking beaches while other islands such as Sipadan, Redang, Perhentian, Tioman, Layang-Layang are top diving spots.
Located in the heart of the Indo-Pacific Basin area famed for the greatest marine biodiversity in the world, Malaysia gives an unparalleled opportunity to enjoy some of the most beautiful marine sights imaginable.
Equally breathtaking are the majestic rivers of Sedim, Chilling, Kampar and Padas which are a hit amongst adrenaline junkies indulging in a spot of white water rafting. The gentle Sarawak and Melaka rivers, on the other hand, offer an alternative way to view the quaint cities. The river cruises will give you an unobstructed view of the towns and its surroundings that is impossible to experience from dry land. And nothing beats taking a boat ride along the undulating Rajang and Tembeling - rivers which cut through some of the best rainforest views of the country.
Malaysia also has the largest man-made lake in South East Asia – Kenyir Lake which is home to a variety of fish species and an angler’s delight. Along the Tambun, Hulu Langat and Poring area are some of the country’s most refreshing hot springs one should not miss out on.
