Since ancient times, adventurers and explorers have come to Malaysian shores, attracted by its diverse natural wealth and embraced by its gentle people.

Today Malaysia is known around the world as a destination for a host of nature-based activities and eco-tourism. Be it from challenging rock-climbing or cross-jungle trekking at different mountain zones to wild rafting in frothing rivers, or diving in calm seas to parasailing in the multi-hued skies - it's all here.

More than half of Malaysia's 329,758 sq km. surface is covered by tropical rainforests that host a bewildering array of exotic and protected plants and animals. There are treasures such as rare species of flora and fauna found only at Mount Kinabalu or wondrous geological formations such as Mulu Caves. Even the world's oldest forest, estimated at 130 million years old at Taman Negara, Malaysia's premier national park, can be found here.

Malaysia offers varied experiences to satisfy the adventure and nature lover's quest. There is an exciting choice of activities for all ages and groups - from amateur and family fun to the serious enthusiasts and on to professionals.

The country is increasingly popular as a venue for international nature-based competitions. Even international adventure-themed reality shows or films have found their perfect locations in Malaysia.

Adventure and nature are all here in the tropical kingdom of Malaysia. Come and enjoy it to the fullest.
