An independent travel guide to Malaysia

Stunning, ethnically diverse Malaysia is Southeast Asia's unsung holiday hero, offering travellers a huge range of attractions. Mix and match a trip that includes lush jungle trekking, chilling out on white-sand beaches, amazing snorkelling and diving, gastronomic adventuring and immersing yourself in a colourful cultural heritage.

  • Alternative

With the bustling capital of Kuala Lumpur midway between the UNESCO-listed towns of Penang and Melaka, and also just a few hours by bus from the sprawling Taman Negara National Park, many of Malaysia's highlights are both affordable and easy to reach.

Our Malaysia travel guide is here to help you get the most out of each of your trips to Malaysia, beginning with the simple guidelines below aimed at first-time travellers to the country.

Absolute highlights

Most first-time travellers to Malaysia stick to the peninsula, but if you have the time and are after a greater understanding of the country, a visit to Sabah and Sarawak is equally worthwhile. East Malaysia contains many of the country's most beautiful national parks.

Penang: Eat everything. Photo by: Stuart McDonald.

Penang : Malaysia's second largest island, Penang is also its most developed, with the eastern coast dotted with high-rises and crammed with holiday resorts. Travellers who have experienced beaches elsewhere in Asia will probably be unimpressed with the most popular beach spots, but the island's real attraction lies in its culture, history and cuisine —the food really is something.

Taman Negara : The superlatives come easy when it comes to Taman Negara National Park . The old-growth forest here, mostly untouched by humans, is believed to be more than 130 million years old, making it the oldest primary forest in the world.

Perhentians : Long renowned for their coral reefs and clear waters, the Perhentian Islands are a highlight for their snorkelling, diving, attractive beaches and remote, semi-untouched feel and appearance.

Popular destinations

Langkawi : Nearly the size of Singapore, Langkawi is surrounded by beautiful beaches and towering limestone karsts. This beauty inspired their official 2012 tourism slogan, "Naturally Langkawi" .

City of contrasts Kuala Lumpur. Photo by: Stuart McDonald.

Kuching : Situated in eastern Sarawak, Kuching is the most populous of all the cities in the state and, arguably, also the best place to be a tourist in the whole of Malaysia, due to its size, quality of accommodation, day trip options and museums.

Kuala Lumpur : The modern, bustling and lush-green capital of Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur is a testament to the Southeast Asian nation clawing its way in recent decades out of the developing world and into the WiFi-enabled modern one.

Kinabalu Park : Borneo is known for its abundant natural wonders, but Kinabalu Park may just be the most spectacular. The main attraction is Mount Kinabalu, a 4,095-metre monster of granite that takes the title of the tallest mountain in Malaysia by a long shot.

Melaka : Midway between the capital cities of Singapore and Kuala Lumpur and at the mouth of the Strait of Melaka, a crucial shipping route connecting the Indian and Pacific oceans, Melaka has been a centre of trade and cultural exchange for more than 600 years.

Alternative destinations

Pangkor Island : The word Pangkor is said to be a derivative of the Thai “pang koh”, which means beautiful island—and yes, this gives a hint of what Pangkor Island is like, with sandy shores and surrounding emerald waters.

Oh hello Sabah... Photo by: Sally Arnold.

Sipadan : When you’re diving at Sipadan it’s not a question of whether you’ll see large pelagic species like manta rays, sea turtles, barracuda and sharks, but how many.

Kinabatangan River : For the most accessible wildlife adventure in Sabah, the Kinabatangan River , Sabah’s longest, offers easy packaged experiences. Known for its remarkable wildlife, you are almost guaranteed to see one or several of Borneo’s endemic species in the wild here.

Danum Valley : If Borneo conjures up images of pristine jungle filled with haunting sounds and hidden wildlife, the incredible Danum Valley Conservation Area is probably one of the reasons why .

Kuala Terenganu : If you have time up your sleeve, Kuala Terennganu is worth at the very least an overnight stay or, for some, far longer.

Nature lovers

Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park : A short boat ride from KK, the five islands of Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park offer squeaky white sands, azure waters and hiking trails though areas of old growth forest and mangroves, with an abundance of wildlife both below and above the waters.

The Mantanani Islands are pretty special. Photo by: Sally Arnold.

Mantanani Islands : Three little blips on the radar form the Mantanani Islands, about 40 kilometres northwest of Kota Belud. Mantanani Besar, Mantanani Kecil and Lungisan are your quintessential alabaster-fringed tropical archipelago, reef ringed and sitting in crystal-clear aquamarine waters .

Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre : Orange apes are Borneo’s big drawcard, and possibly why you’re in Sabah. Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre cares for “people of the forest” who have been orphaned or injured due to deforestation or previously illegally kept as pets.

Trek Taman Negara : The opportunity to go trekking for a few days in the oldest primary forest in the world is the reason you'll be heading to Taman Negara .

Breathtaking Mount Kinabalu. Photo by: Sally Arnold.

Climb Kinabalu : There’s something about Mount Kinabalu—its awesomeness, its grace, its spirit—so it’s no wonder so many people are drawn to climbing Malaysia's tallest mountain .

Dive Sipadan : The islands around Semporna hold a treasure trove of riches below their jewel-toned seas, with the biggest drawcard being Sipadan , one of the world’s best dive sites and made famous by Jacques Cousteau. Sipadan and the other islands are not only limited to divers—it’s possible to snorkel here, too.

North Borneo Railway : Confession time: we like trains. We have to admit we were a little bit excited to travel on the historical North Borneo Railway, but you don’t have to be a trainspotter kind of person to enjoy the romance of a steam train. The North Borneo Railway isn’t a regular train service, although a regular service does follow the same route, but rather a tourist attraction recreating the historical era of steam travel .

Surf Cherating : A sleepy seaside community, Cherating is known for its turtle population, surf and more recently kiteboarding. It will appeal to those seeking a no-frills, affordable beach break.

Cooking courses and food walks : When it comes to food and food walks, Malaysia is none too shabby .

Eastern Peninsular Malaysia and Malaysian Borneo see their wettest period between November and February. The west coast of the Peninsula sees the wet between May and September. The climate is hot and humid year round—regardless of whether it's raining or not!

How long to go for

With as little as two weeks you can take in some of the highlights of peninsular Malaysia—say Kuala Lumpur, Cameron Highlands, Penang and an island, but the peninsula really deserves three to four weeks as with that long you could take in both coasts plus Taman Negara.

How long do you need to eat everything? Photo by: Stuart McDonald.

East Malaysia can be a bit more time consuming. We'd say Sabah certainly deserves two weeks , with neighbouring Sarawak being worth another three to four weeks .

If you are planning a longer stay, it pays to familiarise yourself with Malaysia’s visa rules .

What it will cost

Your budget will depend very much on your style of travelling . If you’re comfortable in simple accommodation, eating street food, not drinking too much alcohol, travelling using cheap transport and steering clear of heavily touristed (and so more expensive) destinations, you can survive on around US$20-25 per day—maybe a couple of dollars less if you’re especially frugal and travelling as a couple.

Most independent budget travellers tend to spend more. That air-con room is tempting, as is the pool and WiFi, latte and occasional VIP bus or short domestic flight. All these conspire to push daily budgets up to a more comfortable US$35-45 per day.

If your tastes veer more towards the luxurious, then Malaysia does offer good value — especially in the accommodation stakes, with resort-style and boutique hotels in the US$100-$150+ mark scattered across the country. Food and entertainment costs can rising accordingly. Likewise, you can also spend north of a thousand dollars per day for truly luxurious settings—think private pool villas and so on—flying everywhere and fine dining. We can’t speak of this personally though!

What to watch out for

Malaysia is a very safe country. While petty theft is a problem in the major tourist centres, violent crime against foreigners is rare. Use your common sense when out in the evening and stay in control. If you feel threatened, especially in a bar or club environment, leave. Credit card fraud is the most likely problem you may encounter—keep an eye on your credit cards at all times and while not always feasible, try not to let them out of your sight. Check your statements after your trips carefully.

When visiting the Semporna and Sipadan area in Sabah, you may be alarmed by the security presence. Over the last few years, terrorist incidents have occurred, and in response the Malaysian government has established military and police posts on islands and other tourist destinations. Most travellers enjoy the world-class diving here without peril. As with anywhere, check the current security situation with your government’s embassy before you plan and depart on a trip, and be sure to have comprehensive travel insurance .

Roads in Malaysia can be nerve-wracking at times. The roads are generally of a good standard, so people, even those who are not particularly talented drivers, tend to drive extremely fast. Penang in particular seems to be home to a resident population of drivers who care little (if at all) for pedestrian safety. Keep your wits about you and do not assume a driver has seen you, nor that they will necessarily slow down even if they have seen you.

Always, always, always wear a helmet when on a motorbike in Malaysia.

Having adequate travel insurance cover is essential .

Malaysia has extremely strict anti-drug laws yet it is not unusual to see locals smoking weed—especially in Kuala Lumpur. Pot along with a raft of other drugs are illegal in Malaysia and you do not want to be caught with them. Complete strangers offering to sell you drugs should be treated with the upmost suspicion. Duh!

If you wouldn’t do it in your home country because it is stupid, why do it in Malaysia?

Holiday and Vacation Fish Care and Feeding

travel fish holidays

Mint Images RF / Getty Images

Vacation Feeders

  • Auto Feeders
  • Pet Sitters
  • Other Alternatives
  • Be Sure Fish are Healthy

Are you traveling for the holidays or planning to go on a vacation soon? What will you do with your fish while you're away? Fortunately, there are several easy options to feed your fish during holiday and vacation periods: you can find a fish sitter; use commercial vacation feeders available through your fish store; or you can purchase an automatic fish feeder, which can be used on a daily basis anyway. A final option is to simply let your fish go unfed while you are gone. (Before you faint at that option, read on!)

The simplest option for feeding is to use vacation feeders. They are available in 2-day (weekend), 7-day, and 14-day sizes. There are two basic types: one where the food is embedded in a calcium block, and the other style has the food in a gel. In each case, the block gradually dissolves in the water, releasing food particles for the fish to eat. Feeder blocks have several benefits, including:

  • Supplies food to your fish while you are away for up to 14 days
  • Dissolves slowly and releases food periodically as the block gradually dissolves (although the calcium block will dissolve faster in soft, acid water than it will in hard, basic water)
  • Includes natural ingredients to meet nutritional requirements of all aquarium fish
  • Do not use in a fish bowl or a non-filtered or non-aerated aquarium, as water circulation is required to dissolve the block
  • The gel blocks may work better in some water conditions as the gel block is plaster-free and does not cloud water

Make sure that the number of blocks used in the aquarium is sufficient for all of the fish in the aquarium. But it is better to underfeed the fish than overfeed them for the time you are away. If using the larger calcium blocks, especially in soft water conditions, they can impact the aquarium water chemistry. The gel feeders are less likely to cause water quality changes, but some say their fish won't eat them.

Automatic Feeders

Automatic feeders come in electric plug-in models and battery-operated models. They have timers that can be set to dispense the proper amount of food one or more times per day. The opening in the food-holding dispenser can be adjusted to deliver a certain amount of food at each feeding. These are great to use anytime, and if you have it before you go on vacation, you can adjust the timing and dispensed food quantity to feed the fish correctly every day. As long as the food dispenser is full before you leave, and holds enough food to dispense for the duration you will be gone, these work well for feeding your fish while you are away.

Fish Sitter

If you are going on an extended vacation or holiday (more than a week), you should have someone tend your fish. The most important thing to impress upon your helper is that they should not overfeed your fish. Excess food will foul the aquarium and can prove lethal. Many fish will "beg" for more food even when they are well fed (Angelfish are notorious for begging), but should not be indulged. In order to prevent your house sitter from giving too much food, you should pre-measure each meal in a small container or plastic bag.

One good option is to use an inexpensive plastic pill dispenser that has a compartment for each day of the week. As you feed your fish the week before you leave, place the same amount of food in one of the pill compartments. By the end of the week, you will have the next week's feedings all prepared for your helper. All they have to do is open the dispenser each day and put the food in that day's compartment into the aquarium. Feeding the fish once a day while you are gone, even if you normally feed the fish twice daily, will usually be sufficient. It is better to underfeed than overfeed!

Don't Feed Your Fish

Living in a watery environment has its advantages—fish don't have to wait for you to give them a drink. As for food, freshwater fish are quite capable of going for several days without a meal. Healthy adult fish can go for a week or two without feeding. However, young fish don't have the fat stores of adult fish and they cannot go without eating very long.

That doesn't mean you should routinely skip feedings, but your fish can safely be left without food over a long holiday weekend. However, keep in mind that food is not the only concern when going on holiday. You must be sure your filter, water heater, and lighting is also properly maintained if you are not home.

Get a Timer

Aquarium lights normally should be turned off at night and turned back on in the morning. Lighting is easy to handle by purchasing a timer. There's no need to get a fancy or expensive one, as long as it will turn the aquarium lights on and off once each day. Put the light on a timer and leave it that way all the time. Then, your fish will have a consistent day/night cycle, and you have one less thing to do each day.

Water Temperature

Aquarium water temperature should remain fairly constant. Fish are accustomed to gradual seasonal changes in temperature in the wild, but if the change is dramatic, the stress will make them susceptible to disease. If the holiday is during the cold time of year, be sure your aquarium heater is working, and don't turn your house temperature down too low. Tropical fish prefer water temperatures from about 74-78 degrees Fahrenheit and do not do well below a water temperature of 65 degrees.

During summer vacations, set your air conditioning to kick in if the room temperature rises above 80 degrees, and your fish will be quite comfortable while you are away. If you do not have air conditioning, it is wise to arrange for someone to come in and check the fish in the event of a heat wave.

Fish Physical Condition

Another important factor is the physical condition of your fish. Just before leaving on your holiday or vacation, examine them to ensure that none of them appear to be sick . If you notice any abnormalities, consult a fish shop or an aquatic veterinarian before leaving. Otherwise, you risk coming home to an aquarium of sick or dying fish.

Be sure to provide your fish sitter with your contact phone number, as well as the number of your pet shop. Regardless of whether you have a fish sitter or not, if you prepare ahead of time you can safely go on trips. Here is a handy checklist of things to do before you leave:

  • Clean the aquarium a week before you leave
  • Completely top off the aquarium with water the day before you leave
  • Check the water temperature to verify it's in the proper range
  • Check the filter and make sure it's running at full capacity
  • Carefully examine all the fish to ensure they are healthy
  • If you have a fish sitter, measure food into a dispenser for him or her
  • Give your fish sitter your number and the number of the local pet shop

Now go enjoy the holidays!

Travelfish #500: The Holiday Edition

A wrap on stuff worth reading.

This week I’m leading with an interesting Al Jazeera piece on a slice of Malaysian (then Malaya) history from not that long ago. Well worth a read .

Over on Couchfish, I had two pieces related to my beach shack out west, one about how I found it , and what I’m trying to do with it , then I wrapped up the year for Couchfish —as I am today with the Travelfish Newsletter. Both will be back in your inbox in early January.

Also in the final Couchfish edition, I announced a 50% off forever deal on paid Couchfish subscriptions, so if you’re keen on a present for yourself (or someone else!) you can sign up or upgrade your account here .

travel fish holidays

This week’s newsletter is supported by Ling —think of it as a new way to learn a language without picking up phrases like how to tell your neighbour there are a million cats in your house. Their coverage includes a bunch of Southeast Asian languages which I’ve outlined further down, or just click on the monkey above and find out for yourself—they’ve got both iOS and Android apps available— and a free trial .

We’re on holidays through most of December and are in Bangkok at the moment. The photos this week are a couple of first impressions—always great to return to this joint!

Best wishes to all for the remainder of this year, and seeya in 2024!
