Why it's a deal: The trip price breaks down to about $110 per person per night. For that amount, the tour operator arranges all accommodations and activities. These experiences might be hard to book on your own, like a canopy walk through the rain forest at Taman Negara National Park; snorkeling in the unspoiled Perhentian Islands, 45 minutes off the coast by boat; and swimming in a waterfall at Island Hideaway, where you'll meet Malay locals during a homestay.
More: Add nights in Kuala Lumpur from $26 per person, based on double occupancy.
