ACTIVITIES

ACTIVITIES Sungai Tahan has fish a-plenty – thanks to an eight-year ban on fishing which has increased the fish population.

ACTIVITIES UK citizens, Bill Boakes and Nicolla Briggs, decided that it was time to “see the world” and with a love for diving, the idea of a holiday in South-east Asia sounded ideal. Initially, they only planned to transit through Malaysia en route to Thailand, but a visit to the West Coast islands of Langkawi and Pangkor convinced them there was something “special” about this country.

ACTIVITIES The catch at Kuala Rompin proves to be excellent.

ACTIVITIES Why travel to another country when you have great diving at your doorstep?

ACTIVITIES The Gopeng Rainforest Resort may not be a five-star establishment, but it’s like Mother Nature’s own playground.

ACTIVITIES Anglers obviously love catching lots of fish. The more, the better. But catching more than you can carry? Better be careful what you wish for.

ACTIVITIES This fishing trip proved that using the right equipment at the right time produces results.

ACTIVITIES The fishing may be better elsewhere, but you can’t beat the ambience and hospitality at Tasik Chenderoh.

ACTIVITIES Riding through the jungle on horseback, the wind in your hair, not only does wonders for your physique, it’s mentally rewarding too.

ACTIVITIES Everyone has a price, even the fish. For the kelah (Tor trambroides) of The Kelah Sanctuary in Taman Negara, it’s seed pellets. I dunked a fistful of pellets into the pristine water, and sure enough, 30 to 40 scaly fellas darted my way.
