The western coast islands, less popular than the those on the oriental coast, will delight the visitors who venture there. Easily accessible from Kuala Lumpur, they present a diversity of landscapes and auras as well as a rich cultural heritage.

Malaysia is a surprising country in every way. And the cluster of lakes linked to one another that go by the name of Tasik Chini will definitely live up to expectations! If this is not the case, then maybe the lake's monster will leave you speechless; rumour has it that it haunts the depths!

Malaysia is composed of two islands, located 700 km from each other: a peninsular island, which shares its northern border with Thailand, and an eastern island, which neighbours Indonesia. On one side, the energetic and structured capital of Kuala Lumpur boasts skyscrapers as far as the eye can see, at its head the impressive Petronas towers, a typical Chinese quarter and an upturn in economic activity. On the other hand, the country is overflowing with heavenly islands, tropical beaches, and villages full of fish, exotic flora and fauna. Malaysia is also a joyful melting pot of origins and religions. Muslims, Buddhists, Taoists, Hindus and Christians share the country and offer an enchanting diversity of temples and cultural sites. This also makes for an extremely rich culinary culture, which is unanimously praised by visitors.

Visiting Turtle Islands National Park is an incredible experience. I highly recommend it. If you're lucky, you'll be able to witness the birth of some little turtles and see them run around on the beach, or watch the mother turtles lay eggs.
The centre is well-built; the awareness is clear and it works. Rangers are there to supervise the tourists so that they don't bother the turtles. I loved learning that some turtles are left to themselves, with the aim of preserving other species which depend on turtles in the food chain. We're here to help protect turtles, but in an intelligent way, without harming other species.
Expect to spend most of the night outside. The accommodation is basic, but for one night, we make do. Furthermore, the food is good and we don't feel hungry, so it's all positive. A "must do" on your Malaysian trip.
