2.Cultural and Nature Escape: Batu Caves, Waterfalls & Hot Springs

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 111 reviews · from $66Best value

This six-hour Kuala Lumpur outing pairs Batu Caves with a Royal Selangor pewter demonstration, batik workshop, Setapak Hot Spring and Kanching Falls. An English-speaking driver handles hotel transfers and lunch. Guides such as Mr Mutah, Raja, Rayhan and Aris have been praised for clear explanations, though the hot spring and guide quality can vary.

“We had a great day with our driver Raja. As there were only the two of us and the driver the trip was informal, extremely informative and very enjoyable. I would highly recommend using Viator, especially if you are only in Kuala Lumpur on a stopover as time is tight when it comes to seeing what the area has to offer, but it's great value for any visitor as it includes transport, a meal and a way of learning a little bit about the places and the people.”

6.Kundasang : Poring Hot Spring + Desa & Meal Shared Tour

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 35 reviews · 1 day · from $98

Spend a long day from Kota Kinabalu exploring Nabalu Market, Desa Dairy Farm, and Poring Hot Springs, with lunch and a possible Kinabalu Park photo stop. English and Chinese guide service, hotel pickup, entry fees, and round-trip transport are included. The day is scenic but road-heavy, so expect a full schedule and limited time at some stops.

“The organisation and timing and food was efficient and well managed. our guide was wonderfully informative, maybe too much so! The meal was very generous and very tasty. As a mixed group from Ireland/US where agriculture is our main economy we could have done without going to the farm! - I didn’t read the detail properly. The photo stop and market was just long enough and a nice taste of malaysian Borneo Economy. The jungle tree top wall was great, again it was just perfect amount of time and the distance also just right, we all really enjoyed it. The springs were a welcome relief afterwards, and the butterfly sanctuary…”
