Borneo Family Holiday Comfort

We loved our Intrepid Borneo Family Comfort trip in July 19. Sheila was our guide and helped make it a magical experience for us. Our 7 year old daughter loved the whole trip, from seeing the amazing wildlife to the stunning views and lots of fun and games with the other guests in our group. Sheila was great at looking after our group and was very organised and helpful. We even managed to see loads of wildlife up close which exceeded our expectations. The food was ok for vegetarians- both my wife and I are vegetarians. The accommodation was fab too. We would highly recommend Intrepid again, it’s great for getting to see lots in a short space of time - in a way that felt manageable and thoroughly enjoyable.

Borneo – East Sabah Adventure

I had an awesome adventure, learnt a lot, was ‘very lucky’ to see alot of wildlife - including the proboscis monkey, crocodiles, orangutans, plenty of bird life, and also experienced the hatching of some green sea turtles. There is ‘No Guarantee’ on what animals you will see but on our tour we were ‘very lucky’ to have Albert who came through with the goods. Thank you Albert for making my first trip to Borneo East Sabah tour an unforgettable one. Thanks mate!!!!!!

• Mountain Hikes

Real Borneo

Awesome adveturous tour. Includes jungle stay (pic above) where we went spotlighting wildlife at night, slept in a tree house, planted trees for reforestation and went out on the river to look for monkeys and orangutangs along the river banks. We also did a homestay. Due to the earth quake this year we couldnt climb kinabalu but we still did a very challenging trek through cave systems in the junlge and by doing this Geckos were making sure hte mountain guides weren't out of work while the mountain trails were repaired. Our guide was so knowledgable having grown up in the jungle since the age of 4. The country is full of wildlife, the people are friendly and the place is non touristy. Meals and beer were cheap. wifi in the country is dodgy. I would definately go back to see the other half of the country one day... My tip pack lots of quick dry sports clothing because the jungle is HOT! Our group was a good mix of international people, all young, fit, active and most importantly easy going!

Malaysia Highlights

Wan was a very good guide for his first trip as a tour guide. However, I wish he had asked for everyone's input consistently and ensured he received it on several things like if we should skip lunch, travel changes, etc. I also hope in the future he tries better to inform everyone of any changes in plans. I appreciated him taking good care of me when I fell ill, his friendly nature, and effort to make certain that I was satisfied with the trip. He also did a fantastic job at ensuring that the elderly gentleman that was on our trip was taken care of after learning that he needed some extra attention. My favorite thing about Wan as a tour guide was his consistency in teaching us about the culture and exposing us to native foods. Some of the people on the tour rushed me at certain stops and I hope that Wan in the future will make certain to make it clear that the tour should be respectful of everyone's personal desires to enjoy the trip. Travel Time + Itinerary: The two days where we had very long travel days, to Taman Negara and to Penang, I think could have been broken up some. During the bus ride to Taman Negara, I think a stay in the park for a few hours and having lunch would be better so that folks don't get hungry and have a proper meal. Also, the ride along the way was beautiful and it would be interesting to learn about that region. Also, it breaks up the ride which was very long! Additionally, the ride to Penang was very long and while we did stop for lunch, which was delicious, it would have been nice to stop in the national park and see some of the limestone rocks which were gorgeous. Kota Bharu: While an interesting city, the lunch we had here was the worst on the trip. I would recommend finding a better place to eat. I also felt this city was not a good place to spend the night and I recommend looking at a different place to stay, perhaps closer to Penang. Homestay - This was by far my favorite place on the trip! The host family is by far so hospitable and lovely! The food was amazing and I just loved the bike ride, learning how to grate coconut, watching the sunset, and the having meals with them. Accommodation: The hotel in the jungle should do a better job of managing breakfast to ensure ants do not crawl all over it (I saw this two mornings in a row) and this is where I got food poisoning from the sausage/hot dogs. I hope they do a better job of preparing/inspecting the food in the future.

What people love about 10 Day Malaysia Tours

We had a great tour in Malaysia, well beyond our best expectations. Raymond, our guide, was amazing

If you are looking for a nature holiday, I would most defiantely recommend Borneo. Saw all the wildlife I had hoped for and more. Our CEO with G Adventures, Ricky, was fantastic. Helpful, kind, knowledgable and very calm. Always happy to help and answer any questions regarding the wildlife or history of Borneo. The group was also fantastic, full of laid back, like minded, wildlife lovers, from all over the world. Thank you!!

Kuala Lumpur is one of our favourite places in Malaysia. We often stop here for a few nights on the way to other spots around the country.

The easiest way to see it all is by tour, and there are so many options that no matter what your interests are, there is definitely an option for you.

Why Book A Kuala Lumpur Tour?

Kuala Lumpur is a great place to visit but many of the attractions are spaced far apart, requiring many taxi rides or bus/train/monorail transfers. On the other hand, day tours in Kuala Lumpur are an organised and efficient way to explore the city with less hassle.

Tours are also a great option if you have a stopover and want to explore the city, and you can find Kuala Lumpur tours from the airport for this purpose.

You have the option of doing a private or group tour, and can look at the Kuala Lumpur tour itinerary to find itineraries that match your interest. Private guides may even let you adapt the tour to your liking. Kuala Lumpur tour operators have insiders knowledge and can take you to the best places around town.

Plus, they are rarely expensive, and there are many Kuala Lumpur budget tour options.

Jessie was amazing ! Everything from her level of English to her understanding of what we valued .

We had a good time exploring the city with Selinda!

Our guide lele is a wealth of information, Lele is very professional and very attentive to our needs. Lele is amazing. Lele got everything spot on. It probably helps that Guilin is a brilliant place to visit so Lele has great material to work with but that doesn't take anything away from how much Lele helped make it a great trip.

Our guide for Beijing was super knowledgeable and experienced and able to help us to achieve as much as we wanted within the time given. We had a fun time guided by him as he is also super humorous and you can see how he interacts with the vendors and people whom he comes by. Thank you for a very enjoyable time in Beijing and accommodating to all our needs!

Our China Highlight guide. Michael, was attentive, thoughtful and knowledgeable. He narrated many interesting historical events about Chengdu while touring around the city and having afternoon tea with us. He was thoughtful to provide us with snacks during long hikes at Leshan or walks around the city.

She was very flexible and added extra time when we needed it and we felt extremely well taken care of. She also chose the best restaurants for us,

Our tour guide Helen, was excellent, she was very kind, professional and passionate for her work and she also loves Pandas! She will take you to take the best panda photos and to know more about Chengdu city. Our tour was great, she took us to all our destinations always with the best spots: Temples, pagodas, famous streets, theaters, pandas...you name it! Everything was great.

He picked up our pre-booked boat/other excursions tickets so we were able to avoid all the long lines and chaos. He is knowledgeable of the places we visited, courteous, fun to travel with and well-versed in Chinese classics.

Tom is the guide that will take you to where no other guide will. We pushed for the experience and Tom and the team delivered more than what we could have ever asked for. His English speaking ability and his Chinese history knowledge is second to none.

Day Trip To Malaysia From Singapore

Sharing is caring!

Are you planning a day trip to Malaysia from Singapore?

If so, you’ve come to the right place!

In this guide, we’ll take you through everything you need to know about crossing the Singapore-Malaysia border, and what awaits you once you’re there.

So, grab a cup of tea (or perhaps some Kopi-O, the local Singaporean coffee), and let’s dive in.

Brief Overview Of This Guide

We’ll begin by addressing some essential points, such as understanding the distance and travel time between these two Southeast Asian destinations, along with the legal and visa considerations.

We’ll then examine the best ways to travel from Singapore to Malaysia, and vice versa, discussing the pros and cons of each method.

But what good is a day trip if you don’t know what to do or see once you arrive? We’ll provide an overview of must-see destinations in Malaysia perfect for a day trip. From Kuala Lumpur’s impressive skyline to Johor Bahru’s historical wonders, there’s something for every type of traveller.

We will also delve into Malaysia’s mouth-watering cuisine, unique culture, and must-have souvenirs.

Then, we’ll share some practical tips on currency exchange, cultural etiquette, and internet connectivity, along with health and vaccination requirements.

Finally, as your day draws to a close, we’ll guide you back across the border to Singapore, advising you on what to know about the return trip.

Background Information on Malaysia and Singapore

Before we get into the nuts and bolts of the trip, let’s take a moment to appreciate the unique history and culture of these two nations.

Singapore, a high-tech city-state known for its iconic attractions , multicultural diversity, impeccable cleanliness, and stunning skyline, is a global financial hub. It’s also a renowned destination for foodies, thanks to its rich, multi-cultural food . From hawker centres serving Laksa and Hainanese Chicken Rice to Michelin-starred restaurants, Singapore offers a gastronomic journey like no other.

Just a causeway away, you’ll find Malaysia, a country teeming with vibrant culture, history, and stunning natural beauty. Its capital, Kuala Lumpur, is a bustling metropolis, boasting iconic landmarks like the Petronas Twin Towers. Outside the capital, you’ll find idyllic beaches, UNESCO World Heritage Sites, lush rainforests, and charming historic towns.

Travelling between these two neighbours, each with its distinct character and charm promises to be an adventure of a lifetime.

Planning Your Day Trip To Malaysia From Singapore

Before you pack your bags, it’s crucial to have a well-planned itinerary.

In this section, we’ll help you understand the logistics of your trip, the legalities involved, and the best time to visit Malaysia.

Understanding the Distance and Travel Time

Geographically, Singapore and Malaysia share a land and sea border, making the commute between these two nations relatively quick and easy.

However, the travel time greatly depends on your chosen mode of transportation and your intended destination in Malaysia.

For instance, if you plan to visit Johor Bahru, the nearest city in Malaysia to Singapore, it would take you around 30 minutes to an hour via car or bus, excluding immigration clearance time. On the other hand, if Kuala Lumpur is your destination, it will take approximately 5 – 6 hours by car or bus, and around 1 hour by plane.

Keep in mind that these times can fluctuate depending on traffic, weather conditions, and the time it takes to clear customs and immigration.

Legal and Visa Considerations

When it comes to crossing borders, one must not forget the legalities. Ensure that your passport is valid for at least six months from your date of entry into Malaysia.

Citizens of many countries, including Singapore, can enter Malaysia for tourism purposes without a visa for stays up to 30 or 90 days. However, immigration rules can change, so it’s always best to check the current visa requirements from official sources or consult with your travel agency.

Additionally, don’t forget to check the latest Covid-19 travel advisories and safety measures. Health protocols and requirements can vary over time, and it’s crucial to stay updated to ensure a smooth trip.

Best Time to Visit Malaysia from Singapore

Being tropical countries, both Singapore and Malaysia are warm throughout the year, with temperatures typically ranging from 25°C to 35°C. The weather, therefore, may not be a significant factor in deciding when to make your trip. However, being aware of the monsoon seasons might help you avoid heavy rains and potential disruptions to your plans.

Typically, the best time to visit West Malaysia (where Kuala Lumpur and Malacca are located) is between December and February when the weather is drier and cooler. For Johor Bahru, anytime outside the monsoon months (November to February) would be ideal.

However, one of the charms of Malaysia is its year-round festive atmosphere. Various cultural festivals such as Hari Raya, Chinese New Year, Deepavali, and Christmas are celebrated grandly. Aligning your visit with these festivities could add an extra layer of cultural immersion to your trip.

Remember, a well-planned trip is often a successful one. So take your time, consider your options, and gear up for the adventure that awaits.

In the next sections, we’ll dive into the different travel methods and must-see destinations in Malaysia for your day trip.

How to Travel from Singapore to Malaysia

One of the key factors that make a day trip from Singapore to Malaysia possible and convenient is the excellent connectivity between the two countries.

There are several options to consider when planning your trip, each with its unique advantages.

Taking a bus to Malaysia from Singapore is a popular choice for many travellers due to its cost-effectiveness, comfort, and scenic route it offers.

Costs and Travel Time

The cost and travel time vary depending on your destination. For example, a bus trip from Singapore to Johor Bahru can cost around SGD 6 – 15 and take 30 minutes to an hour (excluding immigration clearance time). On the other hand, a bus ride from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur usually takes about 5 to 6 hours and can cost between SGD 30 – 80, depending on the level of luxury you opt for.

Tips and Tricks

• Booking Tickets : You can book tickets online in advance, especially during peak travel periods or public holidays.
• Departure Point : Buses depart from various points in Singapore, including Bugis, Orchard, Little India, and more. Choose the most convenient pick-up location for you.
• Immigration Clearance : Buses will stop at both Singapore and Malaysia immigration checkpoints. Remember to take all your belongings with you as you may not re-board the same bus after immigration.
• Travel Light : If possible, travel light. Not only will this make immigration clearance smoother, but it’ll also be more convenient for you as you navigate through the day.
• Pack Snacks : Pack some snacks and drinks for the journey, especially if you’re travelling to further destinations like Kuala Lumpur.

Remember, the journey is part of the adventure! So sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery as you make your way from the vibrant cityscape of Singapore to the diverse landscapes of Malaysia.

Travelling by train offers a unique and enjoyable experience, allowing you to take in the beautiful countryside views at a leisurely pace.

Train Services Available

Currently, KTM (Keretapi Tanah Melayu) is the main train operator providing services between Singapore and Malaysia. There are typically two types of services: the Shuttle Tebrau and the intercity trains.

• Shuttle Tebrau : This is a popular option for those planning to visit Johor Bahru. The service runs multiple times a day between JB Sentral in Johor Bahru and Woodlands in Singapore.
• Intercity Trains : For those planning to travel further into Malaysia, intercity trains can take you to various cities, including Kuala Lumpur and even up to the Thai border.
• Shuttle Tebrau : The journey between JB Sentral and Woodlands takes approximately 5 minutes, making it the fastest land crossing between Singapore and Malaysia. Tickets cost around MYR 5 (< SGD 2).
• Intercity Trains : The cost and travel time for intercity trains depend on your final destination. As an example, the trip from Gemas (the nearest to Johor) to Kuala Lumpur by train can take about 2 hours and 30 minutes and cost approximately SGD 10.
• Advance Booking : Similar to bus travel, it’s advisable to book your tickets in advance, particularly during the holiday season.
• Arrive Early : Be sure to arrive at the station at least 30 minutes before departure time, as you’ll need to go through immigration clearance.
• Carry Essentials : Carry some water and snacks, especially for longer journeys. Also, remember to keep your passport and ticket within easy reach.
• Enjoy the View : One of the advantages of train travel is the scenic route. Make sure to grab a window seat and enjoy the journey as you pass through plantations, traditional villages, and rolling landscapes.

Travelling by car from Singapore to Malaysia offers flexibility and convenience, particularly for those who prefer setting their own pace or are travelling with family or a group of friends.

Car Rental Services

Several car rental companies in Singapore allow you to drive their vehicles into Malaysia. Among them are popular international brands like Hertz, Avis, and Budget, as well as local companies like Hawk and Drive.sg. Do note that some companies may charge an additional fee for cross-border trips.

🚘 Rent A Car Online 🚘

Before renting a car, ensure that you have the necessary documentation, including a valid driver’s license and International Driving Permit if required. Also, check the rental company’s policies regarding cross-border travel and insurance coverage.

Travel Time and Routes

The time it takes to drive from Singapore to Malaysia largely depends on your specific destination, traffic conditions, and the route you choose.

• For Johor Bahru, it can take as little as 30 minutes to an hour via the Causeway or the Second Link.
• Kuala Lumpur is approximately 350 kilometres away from Singapore and can be reached in about 5 to 6 hours via the North-South Expressway.

Tips for Driving in Malaysia

• Understand the Road Rules : Familiarise yourself with the local road rules and signs. In Malaysia, you’ll be driving on the left-hand side of the road.
• Toll Payments : The expressways in Malaysia have toll booths. Make sure you have enough Malaysian Ringgit or a Touch ‘n Go card for toll payments.
• Keep Your Documents Handy : Always carry your passport, driver’s license, International Driving Permit (if required), and vehicle documents when crossing the border.
• Check Fuel and Vehicle Condition : Ensure your vehicle has enough fuel for the journey and is in good condition. Also, remember that it’s illegal in Malaysia to carry extra petrol in a can.
• Plan Your Journey : Especially if you’re driving to further destinations like Kuala Lumpur or Malacca, plan your route and rest stops in advance.

Driving across the border offers an exciting opportunity to explore Malaysia’s diverse landscapes at your own pace. Just ensure you’re well-prepared, and you’ll have a great road trip adventure.

For those wishing to head to the coastal and island regions of Malaysia, taking a ferry can be a convenient and enjoyable option.

Ferry Services Available

Several ferry services operate between Singapore and Malaysia, most of which connect Singapore to the Malaysian state of Johor. Here are some of the main ones:

The ferry trip from Singapore to Johor takes around 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the exact route. Costs vary but are typically in the range of SGD 20 – 40 per person one way.

• Book in Advance : Especially during holidays and weekends, ferries can fill up quickly. It’s advisable to book your tickets in advance to secure your spot.
• Arrive Early : Similar to train and bus travel, you need to arrive at the ferry terminal early for immigration procedures.
• Motion Sickness : If you’re prone to motion sickness, consider taking preventative measures, especially during monsoon season when the sea can be rougher.
• Keep Essentials Handy : Keep your passport and ticket within easy reach for immigration purposes. Also, it’s a good idea to pack light and bring only essential items for a day trip.

Whether you prefer the speed of a ferry or the leisurely pace of a train, the choice is yours. Each mode of transport provides a different perspective of the journey and a unique travel experience.

If you prefer to explore Malaysia without the hassles of planning an itinerary or navigating unfamiliar roads, a guided tour can be an excellent choice. They often include transportation, a knowledgeable guide, and a curated list of attractions, ensuring a comprehensive and enjoyable experience.

Malaysian Food and Culture

A trip to Malaysia is incomplete without diving into its rich food scene and understanding its vibrant culture. Here’s a snapshot of what you can expect.

Famous Malaysian Dishes to Try

Malaysian cuisine is a delightful mix of Malay, Chinese, and Indian influences, creating a unique and flavorful blend. Here are some dishes you shouldn’t miss:

• Nasi Lemak : Considered the national dish of Malaysia, Nasi Lemak is fragrant rice cooked in coconut milk and pandan leaf, served with sambal (spicy sauce), anchovies, peanuts, and boiled egg.
• Satay : These are skewers of marinated meat (usually chicken or beef) that are grilled to perfection and served with a peanut sauce.
• Char Kuey Teow : A popular noodle dish stir-fried in a dark soy sauce with prawns, beansprouts, chives, and sometimes Chinese sausage and fish cake.
• Laksa : This spicy noodle soup comes in various types, but the two most popular are Penang Assam Laksa (fish-based sour soup) and Curry Laksa, which has a coconut curry soup base.
• Roti Canai : A type of Indian-influenced flatbread that’s crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and perfect for dipping in curry sauces.

Understanding the Malaysian Culture

Malaysia is a multicultural and multiconfessional country, with Malays, Chinese, and Indians making up the majority of the population. This diversity is reflected in its culture, which is a blend of various traditions and influences.

Malaysia is also known for its art forms, including traditional dance and music like the graceful Mak Yong theatre, the martial art form Silat, and the mesmerizing gamelan music. Malaysian hospitality is renowned worldwide, and visitors often find themselves welcomed with open arms.

Shopping and Souvenirs

From bustling markets to high-end malls, shopping in Malaysia caters to all tastes and budgets. Here are a few souvenirs to look out for:

• Batik : This traditional fabric, with beautiful patterns created using a wax-resist dyeing technique, can be made into clothing, tablecloths, or wall hangings.
• Pewter Goods : Malaysia is one of the biggest producers of pewter, and items like mugs, plates, and jewelry make excellent souvenirs.
• Local Spices and Snacks : Think of curry powders, local coffee, or sweet and savory snacks like dodol and murukku.

Exploring the food and culture is a crucial part of any trip to Malaysia. So, whether you’re savouring a bowl of Laksa, bargaining at a local market, or getting lost in the rhythm of a traditional dance, remember to soak in every moment of your Malaysian adventure.

Practical Information and Travel Tips

To ensure a smooth and enjoyable day trip to Malaysia, here are some practical tips and information.

Currency Exchange

The official currency of Malaysia is the Malaysian Ringgit (MYR). Currency exchange services are readily available at banks, airports or borders, and dedicated exchange bureaus in Singapore and Malaysia. It’s often a good idea to carry some cash as not all places, especially smaller shops and street vendors, accept credit cards.

Cultural Etiquettes and Safety Tips

Respect for local culture is vital wherever you travel. In Malaysia, dress modestly, especially when visiting religious sites. Use your right hand for giving and receiving items, as the left is traditionally seen as impure. It’s also recommended to avoid public displays of affection.

Malaysia is generally safe for travellers, but as with any destination, it’s important to remain vigilant and aware of your surroundings, especially in crowded places.

Mobile and Internet Connectivity

Prepaid SIM cards are widely available in Malaysia and can be bought at the airport, convenience stores, and official telecom company stores. Malaysia has a strong network infrastructure, so internet coverage is generally good, particularly in cities.

Health and Vaccination Requirements

As of my last update in May 2023, there are no mandatory vaccination requirements for travellers entering Malaysia from Singapore. However, it’s always a good idea to be up-to-date on routine vaccines, including measles-mumps-rubella (MMR), diphtheria-tetanus-pertussis, varicella (chickenpox), polio, and your yearly flu shot.

Ensure to check the latest travel advisories from reliable sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO) or your country’s foreign travel department.

Travel Insurance

Consider getting travel insurance that covers medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and lost belongings. Check whether the policy covers more than one country.

Returning to Singapore

After a fantastic day exploring Malaysia’s sights and delights, it’s time to head back to Singapore. Here’s some essential information to keep in mind for your return journey:

Travelling Back to Singapore: What to Know

The return journey from Malaysia to Singapore is usually straightforward. You can travel back the same way you came – by bus, train, car, ferry, or tour.

Do keep in mind the travel times and make sure to check the last departure times if you are using public transport. Also, remember that immigration can take a while, especially during peak times, so factor that into your travel schedule.

Just as when you left Singapore, you’ll need to go through immigration controls when you return. Ensure you have all your travel documents, including your passport and any necessary visas, ready for inspection.

Customs Regulations and Duty-free Shopping

Singapore has strict customs regulations. Make sure you are aware of the duty-free concession limits and the list of prohibited and controlled goods.

Duty-free shopping can be a great way to make some savings. You’ll find duty-free shops at the airports and some border crossings. Just remember to keep any receipts, as you may need to show them at customs.

Lastly, always declare goods that exceed your duty-free concession or goods that are controlled or subject to GST. Failure to do so could result in penalties.

Returning to Singapore after your day trip to Malaysia, you’ll likely be tired but filled with unforgettable memories. Remember, the most important part of any trip is to enjoy the journey and have fun!

Recap On Day Trip To Malaysia From Singapore

Taking a day trip from Singapore to Malaysia can be an exciting and rewarding experience and it’s more than possible to do in one day.

You’ll have the chance to explore vibrant cities like Kuala Lumpur, Johor Bahru, or Malacca, visit iconic landmarks such as the Petronas Towers or the Batu Caves, and immerse yourself in the Malaysian culture.

Remember to plan your trip keeping in mind the distance, travel time, and legal considerations.

The key to a memorable day trip lies in effective planning and flexibility.
