Being a vast and vibrant nation and a popular travel destination, Malaysia boasts a plethora of activities that thrill seekers around the globe can relish end experience. Here is a list of five of the most adventurous activities you can enjoy in 2024.
Skydiving is probably one of the most popular adventure activities that is on every thrill seeker’s bucket list. However, many of them are unable to partake in this activity since it requires a lot of training and practice. But what if you can do it without any of those? Yes, when you are in Malaysia, you can enjoy this thrilling activity by booking a tandem jump where you can experience skydiving strapped together with an experienced skydiver. The only difference that separates this from the original activity is that in tandem jump the professional diver will have you strapped to his body and he will do all the technical manoeuvres while free falling. All you have to do is to be brave and enjoy the experience!
There are numerous rivers in Malaysia and many of them boast challenging and rough rapids, making them ideal for white water rafting. The sudden twists and turns, the dizzying speeds that the raft travels and the collaborative effort of other passengers to paddle, everything about rafting will bring joy to your heart and the wilderness that surrounds these rivers will indeed bring colour to the entire experience. Travellers can opt-in for a rafting experience by getting in touch with a local tour operator. If you are put up at a hotel establishment the likes of Travelodge City Centre consider reaching out to the front desk to check if they offer any KL hotel promotion which includes rafting. Or you could seek their help to get in touch with a reliable tour operator in the region.
