With over 600 species inhabiting the peninsula and some 580 species in Borneo, it is easy to understand why bird watchers are drawn to Malaysia. Due to the diversity of habitats, there are many places with abundant birdlife to choose from. An activity for the family or small groups, bird watching is made more interactive with more eyes to peer into thick brush or scan the skies as well as by sharing the different markings of the birds seen by fellow participants.

Come, discover and experience fishing in Malaysia

Malaysia is endowed with quality freshwater and marine game fishing. The Prime Malaysian freshwater sportfish include the ferocious Giant Snakehead, the fast running Malaysian Jungle Perch, the Giant Featherback and the elusive but powerful Malaysian Mahseer.

The seas host the king of the gamefish, the Black Marlin. Yellowfin Tuna, Bigeye Tuna and Dogtooth Tuna can be found in the Malaysian seas along with Wahoo, Narrowbarred Mackerel, Sailfish, Giant Trevally, Barracuda and Rainbow Runner, to name a few.

Introduction

Malaysian caves are filled with mystery and some of nature's most beautiful sculptures. Most of the caves in the country date back to the Stone Age while some caves in Sarawak are over 60 million years old.

Although major expeditions have been carried out by the Royal Geographical Society in London and the British Caving Research Association, many caves are still not fully explored and remain an alluring, enticing adventure for the nature tourist. Repeat visitors marvel at how a cave can change within months as the naturally humid Malaysian weather promotes faster stalagmite and stalactite formations.

Introduction

Rivers have long been the life blood of the indigenous people of Malaysia. They have served as a means of transport, a source of food and now, a resource for eco-tourism.The native groups of Sabah have been using rafts for centuries but white water rafting has only been a recreational activity since the 1980s.

The two main rivers for rafting in Sabah are the Padas and Kiulu rivers which are certified as Grade 3 and Grade 2 respectively in the international white water rafting grading system.

Under normal weather conditions the two rivers are relatively constant in depth and speed. However, heavy rains can cause them to swell into Grade 4 rivers. During this time rafting activities may be called off temporarily.

Peninsular Malaysia has its share of good rafting spots. These include the Grade 2 Sungai Sungkai in Perak and the Grade 3 Selangor River in Kuala Kubu Baru, which has its source in Frasers Hill. The Endau River, Jeram Besu and Lipis River in Pahang and the Tembeling River in Taman Negara are also popular rafting sites.
