West Malaysia modules

Malaysia Tours

Modules are short, individual travel experiences lasting around 3 days. By stringing these modules together you can build your personal Malaysia itinerary, but you can also select individual modules. Our West Malaysia tours can also be combined with our Borneo modules. Transport between the modules isn’t included, which gives you all the freedom and flexibility to choose whatever transport suits you best. In West Malaysia you can travel by hire car, by private car with driver, bus - or a combination of these. For more information check out our transport page. For inspiration on possible routes, take a look at our suggested itineraries page.

When you’re travelling to Malaysia, keep in mind the rainy season. All our Malaysia tours modules can be done in the dry season which runs from March – mid October. During the monsoon season, from mid October – March, travel can become more difficult and not all modules are available.

Prices of our Malaysia tours are seasonal and exclude international flights. Around Christmas, New Year and Malaysian high season other rates may apply. Feel free to get in touch with us for a no-obligation quote.
