Full-day Taman Negara from Kuala Lumpur with riverside lunch, canopy views when open, blowpipe and rapid shooting, rainforest boat ride.
“Such a fun day the rapid shooting was so fun but you get soaked so a full change of clothes is a must”
12-hour Cameron Highlands tour from Kuala Lumpur with tea farms, strawberry picking, waterfall breaks, roses, butterflies and more scenic stops.
“This was perhaps the most exciting part of our entire stay in Malaysia. The place is beautiful and there is so much to experience. You get to see the honey bee farms, the strawberry farm, butterfly gardens, the beautiful Lata Iskandar waterfall and the out-of-this-world amazing tea gardens. It was a long drive which was just the thing we needed to see the different landscapes of the country. We were served local breakfast and lunch. Make sure you try the fresh strawberry juices/shakes at local stores and also try the fresh tea at Bharat Tea Plantation. Above all, we had the best time with our guide and our driver for…”

Flexible private day tour in Penang: Chowrasta Market, Kek Lok Si, Penang Hill, batik, spices, George Town street art, and hawker lunch.
“This is a flexible tour that takes you through the important places in Penang. It's important to let the guide know where you'd like to go and where you can skip. A quick note, Chew Jetty wraps up before 7pm so go before sunset. Also, at The Top, the last call for activities can be either 6 or 6:30pm so plan accordingly. Anson was a very flexible guide who took us to all the places we wanted to go and avoided ones that may be crowded for later. Thank you! PS - We were cruise passengers.”
Full-day guided catamaran snorkeling to Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park, Coral Triangle reefs, island lunch, and turtle chances from Kota Kinabalu.
“We had an amazing Trip with Alex and Didi! Both very kind and nice guys. We had 3 snorkeling stops, where we saw so much marine life. Turtles, blacktips, pufferfish, barracuda swarms, parrotfish, triggerfish, and many other. The guys just made the right calls on where to go every time. Also we had very nice dinner at Gaya Island. I would totally book this Tour again! I also have to say, that we have been lucky, as there was just the two of us together with the crew, so we were moving quite quick in the water without having to wait for other participants.”

“We had a fantastic day at the Bath Caves and elephant rehabilitation centre. Our guide Faizal was brilliant and answered lots of our questions, including suggestions of where to go and what to see at other times. We paid extra for a guide at the elephant rehabilitation centre and it was very much worth it. Brilliant day, highly recommend!”
A flexible private car day through Langkawi highlights, mixing a boat cruise at Kilim Geoforest Park, beaches, waterfalls, crafts, and the SkyCab.
“There are a multitude of guides and packages to choose from. We wanted a tailored private tour and Azri was perfect. He was responsive in replying to emails promptly and helped with advice to make up a half day tour to our requirements. We chatted through watsapp once we had arrived on the island which made it easier and quicker. The day started with heavy rain so we adjusted the plan on the day which was no issue for Azri. The car was an SUV and comfortable and nice and cool with the AC. Responsive and receptive to our requirements. What more could u ask for. Happy to recommend Azri.”

Adam was an excellent tour guide—knowledgeable, attentive, and well-paced the day. We saw many of Borneo’s Big Five wildlife. Momang, our driver, was also fantastic. Highly recommended.”

“Joey was our tour guide. Really patient, flexible with what we wanted to do, went out of his way to take good pictures for us, and best of all, really knew how to navigate the crowds (it was a school holiday) so we didn't have to wait too long in lines!”
Every kind of day out, and the best of each.
