Malaysia solo tours

Wildlife lovers unite in the warm and wonderful country of Malaysia

Immerse yourself in a world entirely different from your own when taking part in a small group tour through Malaysia. Solo travelling through Malaysia in a small group tour will have you sharing the surprises of sighting a wild ape or monkey, celebrating your climb to the summit of Mt Kinabalu or even just having someone to try your first crunchy jungle fern with! Another benefit is that your tour will be run under the expert guidance of a local leader who'll take care of the nitty-gritty logistics and share with you a unique side of the country that you might not see anywhere else.

Our Malaysia solo trips

Why choose us

A local leader

Being on an Intrepid trip means you’ll be led through your trip by a local leader. These leaders are local to the country you’re travelling in and are ready to handle any situations, recommendations, history or cuisine questions (among other things) that arise. They have the insider knowledge to get you the best chance of sighting a proboscis monkey or the world’s largest flower (the rafflesia) while en route. So know you're in good hands when on a tour with us.

Safety

We make safety our number one concern so that fun can be your priority. Malaysia hosts many tourists throughout the year and while the odd bag snatching and petty crime does occur, it’s generally a safe area to visit. But travelling in a small tour group can be a great way to enjoy new places. Aside from sharing the joys of travel, it also means there are ready-made travel companions who'll be just as keen to try a few curries at one of the many great street stalls or night markets.

Ready made friends

Travelling goes hand-in-hand with new faces, shared stories and memorable sights. Our group tours hold an average of 10 guests from all walks of life, who - just like you - have all ventured from their hometowns for a one-of-a-kind Malaysian adventure. So while checking out the jungle walkways, scenic mountain paths and hidden treasures of the urban landscapes, you’re sure to collect friends as well as souvenirs from your time on an Intrepid tour.

Logistics and convenience

Are you hoping to hit off the must-see sights on a tour through Malaysia but don’t know where to start? Take a load off and simply travel with us. During an Intrepid tour, your accommodation, transport and daily activities are all handled by your local leader. This only leaves you to choose from a range of non-included activities to take part in or simply wind down and soak up the sun in this beautiful tropical climate. So, put your feet up! Because the next step is already taken care of.
