Jungles & beaches of Malaysia & Borneo

Enjoy the day discovering the history and beauty of the riverside city of Kuching on a private walking tour with an experienced guide. On foot, explore the narrow alleyways and markets and see many of the temples and churches the city is known for. With a range of colonial influences, from Indian mosques to Chinese temples, your guide can help you understand the town's complex history.

Spend the day in Bako National Park with your private guide to spot some of Borneo's stunning wildlife, such as proboscis monkeys, bearded pigs and hornbills. An early start, drive by private transfer 40 minutes outside the city before catching a boat for a 30-minute ride across to the park. This tour can be tailored to your interests, with your guide on hand to help you explore many of the waterfalls, streams and jungle paths.

Leave Kuching this morning and visit the Semenggoh Orangutan Centre in time for the morning feeding session with your private guide. Continue the journey to Batang Ai and the Lemanak River to stay the night in a native longhouse with the Iban tribe, descendants of the infamous headhunters. This journey with a private guide lasts all day, with stops to explore. Arrive at the longhouse in time to be welcomed for dinner with the family, usually followed by traditional dancing and music.

Your Iban host teaches you how the tribe lives off the jungle's natural resources this morning on a private guided walk. Afterwards, leave Lemanak River for the trip back to Kuching as you depart from the Longhouse's jetty on a short shared boat transfer. Arriving at the mainland, you will be met by your private driver for the four-hour drive to Kuching. Along the way, you can stop for a simple local meal.

This morning you're collected from your hotel for a private transfer to Kuching Airport to catch your short flight to Kuala Lumpur. On arrival in Kuala Lumpur, an Audley representative will meet you and accompany you to your hotel by private transfer, with the rest of the day at your leisure to explore the city.

Kuala Lumpur is best explored on foot, with historic buildings blending with tall skyscrapers, shopping malls and ethnic districts that feature many street-food markets, as you discover some local delicacies.

This morning you depart for the flight to the northwest coast, as you transfer to the tropical island of Langkawi where you will have four nights at the charming Casa del Mar, situated along the golden sands of Pantai Cenang beach.

Today you have the day to enjoy the resort. You might like to explore the surrounding waters by booking a private boat excursion to a nearby island or bay.

Enjoy the relaxation and activities on offer at your hotel, where you can arrange spa treatments to cooking classes or venture further afield to explore the island on a mangrove tour.

Spend your last day enjoying the sunshine and sights of Langkawi. For any shopping opportunities, Kuah Town is worth a visit as the island is known for being a duty-free port, or perhaps explore the natural side of the island at the UNESCO Geopark which features flora and fauna dating back millions of years.
