About the trip

This fifteen-night escorted tour by Riviera Travel traces a route from Penang’s colonial George Town to the tropical jungles of Borneo and the modern city-state of Singapore. Early days in Penang offer a walking tour of George Town’s 30,000 pre-war shophouses and a ride up Penang Hill on the steepest tunnel funicular railway. Kuala Lumpur features its cultural mix with visits to the Kampung Baru district, a royal palace, the National Mosque, and the painted steps of Batu Caves.

Borneo presents a change of pace with wildlife centres at Sepilok and the Bornean Sun Bear Centre alongside colonial history in Sandakan. Kota Kinabalu provides a cultural interlude in a rainforest village of local tribes and days at leisure in a beach resort overlooking the South China Sea. The tour ends in Singapore with a half-day city tour taking in Chinatown, Little India, the Botanical Gardens, and reminders of the city’s fishing-village past.

Each stage contrasts a different aspect of Malaysia and its neighbours, from heritage and nature reserves to cityscape and green spaces, all arranged with a thoughtful pace and highlights that nod to the practicalities of travel here.
