The Deal
See Malaysia’s best for just $1068
Looking for a package that combines a city and beach experience? GoBundle.com offers the perfect trip: spend two nights in the Malaysian capital of Kuala Lumpur and then head off the beaten path for a three-night stay in Malaysia’s Langkawi archipelago. Rich in folklore and legends, this cluster of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea provides an ideal tropical retreat. The price starts at $1068 for travel between August 21 and November 30 and covers air from Los Angeles or New York; airport transfers; and hotel stays with daily breakfast. Also thrown in are two excursions: a half-day sightseeing tour of Kuala Lumpur and a half-day island discovery tour in Langkawi.
Singapore & Borneo for only $2499
The best bet for an active holiday is the Globotours package to Borneo and Singapore. Priced at a low $2499, this eight-night adventure features air from your choice of three getaways (LA, SF or NY); airport transfers; midrange lodging; meals; and a variety of stellar tours. The trip explores urban delights of Singapore and the rustic highlights of Borneo, a captivating island off the coast of Malaysia. Activities include a visit to the extensive rainforest of Batang Ai National Park and cultural enrichment at the Ugat Sea Dayak Longhouses; the famous Sarawak Museum; and the beautiful Fort Margherita, a former residence of the White Rajah.
