On an educational tour to Malaysia, students can explore the country’s beautiful culture, as well learning more about global environmentalism through wildlife conservation itineraries that can enrich any number of science or geography-based curriculums. With popular destinations including Borneo, Malacca, and Kuala Lumpur, a school trip to Malaysia allows students to engage with local communities, visit marine sanctuaries, explore UNESCO World Heritage sites, and take part in conservation projects.
At The Learning Adventure, we curate unforgettable school trips to Malaysia designed to enrich learning and provide a window into an amazing global culture. Within these itineraries, we visit a number of popular destinations in Malaysia that we believe are perfect for educational tours.
A school trip to Borneo brings with it the opportunity to explore some of the world’s most diverse ecosystems. At the Sandakan Rainforest Discovery Centre, students learn about biodiversity in the Plant Discovery Garden, get showstopping views from the 360m canopy walkway, take part in a guided Nature Experience tour, and develop their educational awareness of the natural world through the Centre’s programs.
There’s no better way to learn about a culture than through their cuisine, and on our school trips to Malaysia, we can include hands-on workshops designed to introduce students to the rich culinary heritage of the country. Teaching students real-world skills but through the lens of global appreciation, cookery classes students to learn in a fun, interactive environment – and get lunch at the end of it!
Home to some of the world’s most important conservation efforts, Borneo is an amazing location for a socially and environmentally-engaged school trip to Malaysia. At the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre, students spend the day learning about protective efforts around the orangutan, and get the chance to see one of the most endangered species in the world in their wild habitat.
Immersive cultural experiences on school trips help situate your students’ cultural learning, allowing them to place their gained knowledge within the context of the culture they’re exploring. In a Batik painting workshop, for example, students learn the traditional art of dying clothes with wax resistant patterns, providing them with a window into Malaysian heritage at large.
A school trip to Malaysia is an immersive journey through diverse cultures, breathtaking landscapes, and rich history. Students can explore bustling streets, visit historic sites, experience the natural beauty of rainforests.
