The KL Bird Park is just a 10-minute drive from the city centre but it feels like another planet. Located in the lush, landscaped Kuala Lumpur Lake Gardens, it is the home to more than 3,000 birds from some 200 species, both native and foreign. This serene and scenic natural retreat is divided into four aviary zones, with the birds free to fly in three of them, which encourages them to breed naturally. Observe the courtship ritual of the Indian blue peacock with its magnificent, colourful, 150cm train. Be amazed by the sheer size of the crowned pigeon, the largest pigeon species in the world, which has a body the size of a turkey. Catch a glimpse of doves, egrets and ibises feeding.

At the Hornbill Park, visit a true tropical Malaysian rainforest, with its towering evergreen trees, some soaring up to the height of a 10-storey building, and see the magnificent rhinoceros hornbill, with its shiny ebony plumage, huge bill and upward-curved casque of vermilion, orange and yellow hues.

DAY 4 | KUALA LUMPUR The action comes thick and fast today, with eight hours spent in the sensational Sunway Lagoon theme park. After breakfast, you will be transferred to the south-western outskirts of Kuala Lumpur for what promises to be a day full of thrills and spills. There are more than 80 attractions to keep you occupied from water, amusement, wildlife, extreme and scream parks. At Waters of Africa, make a splash at one of the largest manmade surf beaches in the world. Over in the Amusement Park, shriek your way into the Lost City of Gold Scream Coaster. Explore the Jungle Trail, Aviary, Tiger Land and more at the Wildlife Park. In the Extreme area, you can ride ATVs and go-karts or load up for a game of paintball while in the Scream Park, Kuala Lumpur becomes the ground zero of World War Z Live.

DAY 5 | KUALA LUMPUR – PENANG (360km – 4.5 hrs) Bid farewell to KL after breakfast with pick-up from the inn at 09:00 hours for departure to Penang. Enjoy a pleasant drive towards Malaysia’s north-western coast, crossing three states along the way. Pass through beautiful, pastoral countryside with palm oil and rubber plantations and the dramatic Cameron Highlands on the horizon to the right. Stop along the way for lunch (exclusive of drinks).

DAY 6 | PENANG Enjoy your first breakfast in Penang before heading to George Town for an alternative take on this historic city, which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Begin the fun at the 3D Gallery, where three-dimensional exhibitions will have you feeling like an integral part of the murals on display. Your eyes will deceive you more than once before heading to the popular Camera Museum. Nowadays, a camera has become an extension of our hands but just a few generations ago, it was a source of wonderment – a revolutionary device that allowed our ancestors to record and portray a disappearing world. Here you’ll find out who invented photography, who made the first camera and much, much more. There are also displays of classic cameras, which you will have the opportunity to handle. Break for lunch for some local favourites, quell your growling stomach by tucking into Penang’s ‘national dish’, char koay teow (flat noodles fried with bean sprouts and prawns), and other delectable hawker fare (exclusive of drinks).

  • Aquaria KLCC in Malaysia
    Aquaria KLCC in Malaysia A display of marine life at the Aquaria KLCC in Malaysia It's not usual to encounter giant sharks and electric eels right in the heart of a modern metropolis. But Kuala Lumpur is unusual. It is one of the few cities that has a huge oceanarium in its central district. The Aquaria in the capital city of Malaysia takes you on a journey to a different world where you can plunge into water, explore the mysteries of marine life, and encounter weird creatures. The moments you spend inside the 90-m-long underwater tunnel will be etched in your heart forever. History Construction of this state-of-the-art oceanarium started in 2003. It was thrown open to public in August 2005. Ever since then, it has been visited by millions of enthusiasts. Things to Do Observe the weird marine creatures: Spend some time at the 'Weird & Wonderful' zone that exhibits mysterious creatures like Pot-bellied Seahorse, Crocodile Fish, and Moon Jellies. This is where you can ride a glass-bottom boat. It is a simulated boat deck that lets you discover the underwater wonders. Explore Flooded Forests: Be it the Malaysian Flooded Forest or the Amazon Flooded Forest, there are tanks in the aquarium that have been recreated as marine forests where thousands of fish could be seen swirling. Try Underwater activities: Cage Rage is a thrilling activity wherein you go underwater in a cage and get close to resident sharks. If you are little more daring and have the tag of a certified diver, you can take the plunge into the oceanarium tank and encounter five different species of sharks.
