Road Trip Malaysia to Rawa Island - The Jewel of Malaysia

Our Final Leg of Our 6 Week Road Trip in Malaysia as a Travelling family.
After heading back to KL from Penang, our journey takes us from Kuala Lumpur where we drove to the Genting Highlands, Malaysia's only legal place of gambling. The many hotels and Casino's situated on top of an 1800m high mountain wasn't really our vibe but thankfully the kids were happy with the indoor theme park Skytropolis. After 3 days we headed South West to Melaka ( Malacca) for a week and explored the UNESCO World Heritage listed town of Malacca and the beachside town of Klebang Beach. The highlight of our entire Malaysian experience - Rawa Island was next on the itinerary and boy did this place deliver! This is Malaysia's true gem and we would highly recommend Rawa Island as a MUST see/do for any persons travelling to this part of the world. Make sure you stay at Alangs Resort on this island paradise!

The animal is called Tapir. Get the boys to look up this unique animal. Btw, your boys are so lucky ❤

[@rosdibujang4769]

Rawa Island may not be very popular for Malaysians. Langkawi, Tioman, Pangkor, Kapas, Sipadan are popular Your adventure as a family opened my eyes to what Rawa Island embodies. I am surprised even though I am a Malaysian that Rawa Island is a destination that personifies the eyes. Thank you.

[@sitimariambintibasharie9711]

Tak popular sbb private island dan quite costly.

[@saf6996]

Rawa ni dimiliki family Sultan Johor

[@user-tl9wv6wu9h]

Thank you for mentioning other islands too! Commenting while promoting tourism 💯

[@acerazak4087]

Kuala Gandah, Pulau Rawa, some of the 💎 places most tourists don't know. You guys really explored Malaysia 🇲🇾 👍. Recommend visiting Sabah(Borneo) next, beautiful mountain kinabalu, tropical islands, unique wildlife: Orang Utan, Proboscis monkeys, pygmy elephants etc.

[@njamil85]

Thank you for promoting my beautiful country, Malaysia. Look adventures & so much fun. Love from KL

[@Sky_surfers_]

[@blasterjaxx88]

As a Malaysian, i am never been in Rawa Island because it too costly and expensive. But thank you for bringing me to this beautiful Island. Hope can visit one day 😊

[@asd5139]

Not anteater but the Malayan Tapir. A protected wildlife in the country.

[@Sky_surfers_]

Ahhhh, Thank you, until today we still did not know what this animal was.

[@cairjlnascairjlnas7051]

​@@Sky_surfers_ please come visit Sungai Dusun Wildlife Conservation Center located in Hulu Selangor District. A conservation setup mainly for injured & endangered species in Malaysia like the Malayan tapir,sumatran rhino & porcupines. Just mentioned.😊 Maybe you & your family would like to learn more about endangered animal in Malaysia more closely.❤

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Rawa is a private island. Next time try these: 1. Perhentian islands 2. Lang tengah 3. Redang 4. Kapas 5. Tenggol 6. Tioman 7. Pulau besar

[@maklin1918]

[@gerirobin3404]

Awesome vacation……especially at Rawa Island…..wow amazing place…. Nice view white sand and good resort. See your kids very happy there👍👍👍

[@azizi8921]

Be mindful when travelling on roads anywhere into/along East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Yesterday's night (early morning, after midnight), an 8 years old Malayan Tiger was hit by a car while jumping crossing the road, along KM 50.8 of the East Coast Highway near Bentong, Pahang.

[@ThisnametaKenny]

that was awesome for sure. Best thing was to see your kids having a real good time.

[@hairizwan2912]

so glad that you guys had so much fun without any electronic devices 😂😂😂 stay safe for rest of your journey

[@Sky_surfers_]

The struggle is real, keeping kids off devices. haha

[@ahboonahboon8355]

For me the best Beach are in Sabah Borneo.

[@momotaroed215]

That island was stunning ✨ seriously...

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Amazing road trip. But if I were you, to save time and petrol, I will do a loop around peninsula. Starting with penang, to the east coast until mersing, back to melaka, then kl, genting, Kuala gandah. Clockwise. So that you do not miss the perhentan islands and the grik-jeli highway.

[@ahboonahboon8355]

yeah..alot a elephant in the middle of night...on the grik highway road....coz they want to warm uptheir body.

[@Bonito288]

[@Yasin_Affandi]

What a wonderful road trip in Malaysia. Hope that you guys have had a good time. If I'm not mistaken, the signboard is a wild animal called Tapir, but I'm not sure it's name in English or scientific term.

[@mrh0391]

It is Tapir in English too, scientific name Tapirus Malayanus

[@Yasin_Affandi]

@@mrh0391 Thank you for the info. 😁

[@jameshetfield1792]

not many tourists know about Rawa Island.. someone must hv recommended you the place..

[@hairizwan2912]

try and google tapir crossing area and you will see a copy of the signage you guys saw, have fun

[@magoutdoorxtvt8972]

thanks for coming to Malaysia and if not mistaken your filming this video during Ramadhan month am i right?

[@penukulbesi4006]

This is the first time I have seen this island, and it looks interesting. The water is clear, there is white sand, and there is an island in front of the sea. Yes, it seems that this island is really private.

[@Sky_surfers_]

Its just beautiful and only 20 minutes from the mainland.

[@syarizansulaiman6554]

You need rent bigger SUV , get Hyundai Starex 😂, hope you enjoy your weekend. From your video time at Ramadan Mubarak moth ( 08 march to 10 April)

[@masterderr2451]

❤❤❤

[@DenizIman]

Penang is located at the west coast also known as the Malacca Straits, which has been the main & among the busiest shipping channel between Indian & Pacific ocean since centuries ago. With all the traffics, the strait is highly polluted & not as condusive for the marine biology & blue water unlike those islands in the east coast (the South China Sea).

[@shadowpro8462]

Wow I see myself hi guys😂

[@user-xq9wz6dv4w]

👍👍👍👏👏👏🙏🙏🙏

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Not ant eaters, they are tapir

[@sheyone9075]

[@Sky_surfers_]

[@IsniRashid-jy1tb]

[@lealemon4856]

[@ogyfauzi9964]

[@Alibrahim-sb9nc]

Ramai matsaleh react ttg KL drpd dZakarta.... kenapa, kenapa, kenapa ya...????

[@Alibrahim-sb9nc]

Itu buat mereka iri...

[@annatsukiya]

That backpack covering the rear view of the car is kinda dangerous. Just saying.

[@keangwooichoo6138]

Road kill on our highways include: Tigers Tapirs Black panthers Baby elephants So sad

[@herihazril]

[@zulimanismail1966]
