If you arrive earl, Jurong Bird Park, home to more than 600 species of our feathered friends is well worth a visit. A modern city for the most part, the streets of Little India and Chinatown are great places to explore and get a sense of the Singapore of old.
Day 2
Melaka
Travel in traditional style on our trishaw tour and discover the colonial charms of the city. Later, visit the Baba-Nonya Museum to learn more about Peranakan culture and its strong Chinese heritage or join the locals on Keblang Beach for a bout of kite-flying. Melaka has an amazing cultural history with traders from India, China, Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain all calling the port home through the ages.
Savour the aromas and delicious local snacks at Chinatown's night markets and head to the top of one of the world's tallest buildings for spectacular city views. We also enjoy a day of thrills and spills at the city water park.
Days 5-6
Kuala Kangsar
A boat ride delivers us to a real cultural experience. Staying in a traditional Malay home as guests of our local friends we learn some of the secrets of local cooking as well as eating in the traditional manner - dressing in sarongs, sitting on the floor and eating with our hands! Take a short trek across streams to a cascading waterfall before an afternoon relaxing.
Days 7-8
Pulau Pangkor
Head to idyllic Pangkor island, still inhabited by fisher-folk. We take a day trip around the island exploring its tropical forests and beautiful beaches. There's plenty of time to stop and have a swim, a snorkel or simply soak up the scenery.
Back in KL there's time to head to the city's Central Market. Perhaps a treasure hunt is in order through stalls crammed with shadow puppets, batik paintings and moon kites. The markets are a great place to try out a few words of Malay and bargain for some colourful mementos to take back home.
