Malaysia
Malaysia is a kaleidoscope of cultures, religions, languages, ethnicities, ecosystems, landscapes and all types of diversity in a compact and friendly package. While many of the neighboring countries struggle with getting along, Malaysia is peaceful and together. The country is divided geographically by ocean to the more developed Malay Peninsula and the wilder part of the island of Borneo – and many small islands in between. There is no limit what you can experience in Malaysia if you are looking for pristine underwater life, excellent natural parks in the deep wilderness, fascinating cultures and fabulous shopping.
Visit the elephants in Taman Negara, orangutans in Borneo and climb the Mt. Kinabalu, and on the return trip, shop to your heart’s delight in the design shops in Kuala Lumpur. If you are a diver, make your way to the area of Sipadan and be enchanted by the abundant underwater life that includes turtles, mantas, and large schools of fish and schooling hammerheads cruising on the outer walls of the lagoon. Layang Layang is another excellent destination for divers and Mabul Island is home to some of the world’s best muck diving.
