If you fancy a change of temperature, head to the Cameron Highlands for tea
plantations, strawberry farms and cooler weather. It is a lovely break from the heat and a chance to see a different side of Malaysia. My advice would be not to try to fit everything into one trip. Choose two or three destinations, leave some time for relaxing and enjoy exploring. Malaysia is somewhere families can have a fantastic holiday without everyone having to agree on doing the same thing every day.
Islands, Highlands and Wildlife Penang is well worth including, especially George Town, with its street art, colourful buildings and wonderful food. Children will enjoy searching for the murals, while Penang Hill and Entopia Butterfly Farm are popular family attractions. Langkawi is ideal for a few days by the sea. There are beautiful beaches, boat trips, mangrove tours and the famous
SkyCab cable car, which offers spectacular views across the island. For families interested in wildlife, Sabah in Malaysian Borneo is worth considering. A visit to the Sepilok Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre is particularly memorable and gives children an opportunity to learn about conservation.
