Tandem Skydiving

Feel the rush of exhilaration as you soar through the sky above Kuala Lumpur. If you’re an experienced jumper or a total novice, various companies offer different packages to suit your needs. In my opinion, it’s one of the best things you can do in the country.

If you’re a novice skydiver, tandem skydiving is a great option to learn the basics. It’s one of the most daring things you can do in Kuala Lumpur.

Want to capture the most daring moments in your life? The activity organizers typically provide videos and equipment for that specific purpose. It is crucial to keep in mind that this activity is seasonal in nature and heavily dependent on weather.

The price ranges from 800 MYR to 1500 MYR, depending on the number of jumps you make.

Scuba Diving

Malaysia has some fantastic scuba diving spots, particularly in the southeastern part of Sabah on Borneo Island. Many islands are ideal for scuba diving because of the abundance of excellent coral reefs and marine life.

You can dive here all year, but certain areas are better in certain seasons. In general, the months of April to December are considered ideal for scuba diving in this area.

There are approximately ten important diving sites in Malaysia that are suitable for both novice and experienced divers. The marine life is fantastic, with a plethora of fishes to be found.

  • Sipadan Isalnd
  • Mabul Island
  • Kapalai Island
  • Lankayan Island
  • Layang – Layang Island
  • Mataking Island
  • Pom Island
  • Sibuan Island
  • Redang Island
  • Leng Tengah Island
  • Tenggol Island
  • Tioman Island
  • Perhentian Island
  • Tunku Abdul Rahman Marine Park

Divers can choose from various open water diving training options from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PAD). The price can range between RM 1385 – RM2120.

Paragliding, Kuala Kubu Baru

Paragliding in Malaysia is a must-do if you’re looking for both adventure and thrills in one package. Beginners and experienced pilots alike can enjoy the air time while appreciating the view of nature. With foot-launched parachutes, you’ll have the time of your life hanging up in the air at least 6000 metres high.

You will be safely attached to the parachute, and an experienced pilot will be controlling the flying machine.

Suppose you are interested in paragliding in Malaysia. In that case, you can ask for flips and flaps, cross-country rides, flight techniques, and be a part of flight analysis.

In terms of water sports, Malaysia is one of the most popular destinations in the world. Even though parasailing is available at most beach resorts, Langkawi Island is the best place to experience it.

Keep in mind, it’s best to go with a licenced tour operator rather than an unlicensed one. Typically, a ten-minute ride can accommodate two to three passengers. It’s impossible to put into words the exhilaration you feel when you’re soaring nearly 500 feet above the ground and landing safely back on the boat.

The duration of a parasailing flight is approximately 30 minutes. Two to three people are lifted at each time.

The cost of each parasailing flight is around RM80 per person for 3km; RM180 per person for 8km on the boat.

Scuba doo is one of the most popular water adventure activities in Malaysia tourists enjoy while vacationing in the area. No idea what is Scuba Doo? It is a form of diving with the help of an underwater scooter, aka scuba bike!

The best part is you can breathe while riding a scuba bike inside a dome. You can dive up to a maximum depth of 10 metres under the sea, allowing you to see the abundant marine life in Malaysian waters while feeding the fish. Resorts in Malaysia have recently launched plenty of scuba doo activities to provide tourists with the ultimate vacation experience. You don’t need to know how to swim or scuba dive to go on a scuba doo ride.

It is currently possible to take underwater scooter rides lasting anywhere from 60 to 90 minutes.

The price range for a scuba doo ride ranges between RM200 to RM275.00.

White Water Rafting

White water rafting is one of the most popular water sports in Malaysia. The rivers in Malaysia are graded based on the watercourse and the challenges that rafters face when visiting. Some are easy and suitable for beginners. Meanwhile, other rivers are targets for people with previous rafting experience to conquer.

The experience you get across these rivers while rafting is unforgettable. Just imagine moving along the river with a backdrop of majestic hills. Usually, it is a good idea to choose a package tour that includes white water rafting. Because you will be able to participate in a few other activities as well.

Best locations for white water rafting includes Kampar (which is safe for beginners), Ulu Slim (which is ideal for first-timers), Selangor (which has medium challenges and is the most well-known), and Singh (highly challenging).

Depending on the course’s level of difficulty, most of these rafting tours can be completed in 1 to 3 days.

Price ranges from RM150 per person to RM1500 per person.

Snorkelling

Malaysia has become a popular snorkelling destination after the monsoon season with its vast beaches and diverse marine life. The coral reefs are teeming with fish, sharks, and other endangered sea turtle species. The majority of the beaches named after these exciting, colourful reefs are located just beneath the water’s surface, making them ideal for snorkelling enthusiasts seeking sea related adventure activities in Malaysia.

Coastline Terengganu, Tioman Island, Langkawi Pulau Payar Marine Park, Perhentian Island, and others are some of the best snorkelling spots in Malaysia that you should not miss if you enjoy adventure and marine life. Most resorts offer diving and snorkelling courses to their guests for a fee, which can add value to your trip.

Most of Malaysia’s islands are excellent snorkelling destinations.

There are many trips available, such as half-day trips, two-hour trips to nearby sites, and so on. Choose the one that best fits your needs.

The price for snorkelling is approximately RM100 per person for a half-day excursion.

Hot Air Ballooning

Hot air ballooning is a popular activity in this country that offers endless fun and excitement to visitors of all ages. Aside from the annual Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta, you can also enjoy generic balloon rides whenever you visit this part of the world. It is one of the most enjoyable things to do if you are looking for something different among the other adventure activities in Malaysia.

As you travel through the skies in the early mornings, you will get a spectacular view of the sun rising, which is a truly magnificent sight.

Putrajaya is the prime location for hot air ballooning here in Malaysia.

The average flight time is one hour. It takes about 4 to 5 hours to start from your hotel, finish the trip, and safely return to your hotel.

Bungee Jumping

Bungee Jumping is one of the most daring adventure activities in Malaysia that you can try. Many tourists from all over the world come to try this.

Sunway Lagoon Theme Park is Malaysia’s most well-known and permanent bungee jumping location. The drop is 22 metres above sea level, which may not seem like much compared to other destinations around the world.

For first-time jumpers, however, it can be both intimidating and exciting. For this, you should work with reputable bungee jumping companies. When you complete the jump, you will be given a certificate that you can proudly display in front of your family.

If you are interested in the Sunway Lagoon Theme Park’s bungee jumping, it is located in Kuala Lumpur.

Caving

If you enjoy adventure and are not afraid of insects, caving is one of the most popular activities in Malaysia. There are numerous caves here with the extensive growth of stalagmites and stalactites, making it a complete haven for those interested in studying ecology and natural biodiversity.

Because the caves are completely dark, you must exercise extreme caution when visiting. Also, you might find many types of worms, spiders, cockroaches, centipedes, and various other insects on the cave floors. Every evening, many bats emerge from the caves and deposit their droppings on the feet, providing food for these insects. There are caves for beginners, pilgrims, and adventurers here.

Typically, caving lovers would visit Batu Caves, Gua Kelam, Gunung Reng, Perak. Tong Cave Temple, Gua Tempurung Cave, Gua Charas, and many more.

Lastly, caving is ideal any day as long as the weather is accommodating. Hence, this makes caving a perfect alternative to one of your adventure activities in Malaysia.

Price varies according to cave complexity.

Trekking

Malaysia’s mountains are considered ideal trekking destinations due to their rich ecology, tropical forests, diverse flora and fauna, and pleasant climate.

Famous trekking trails include Mount Kinabalu, Mount Nuang, Mount Gayong, Mount Gaga, Mount Jerai, Mount Tahan, Mount Angsi, Mount Ledang, Mount Beremdun, and Mount Korbu, among others.

Before you attempt to challenge a difficult trekking trails, it is best to be medically fit and have prior mountain hiking experience. Almost all of these essential treks have guides available. Use their services to not get lost in the middle of your journey.

Leading tour operators offer a variety of hiking tours. This will include the permit fee, lodging, food, and camping fees, among other things.

Wakeboarding

Malaysia is home to a plethora of exciting water sports activities. One of them is wakeboarding. When you go up with your wakeboard, which you are connected to, you can try a few tricks in the water.

It can be frightening at first, but in Malaysia, the guides are beneficial and remove all nervousness from you.

All wakeboards used by Malaysian hotels and resorts are entirely safe. If you want to save money and bring your own wakeboards, you are welcome to do so.

In Malaysia, almost all of the beaches are suitable for wakeboarding. You can select the option that is most convenient for you.

Wakeboarding is usually limited to one hour. You can extend the same by paying additional fees if you want.

On weekdays, the rate is RM400 per boat for an hour, and on weekends, the rate is RM480 per boat for an hour.
