Visit the impressive Petronas Twin Towers, climb the colorful steps at Batu Caves, and wander through Chinatown with a kopi (local coffee) in hand.
Then drive to Malacca (2 hours), a UNESCO heritage town shaped by centuries of Portuguese, Dutch, and Chinese influence.
Walk through Dutch Square's red buildings, learn Peranakan culture at the Baba & Nyonya Museum, and enjoy a scenic Malacca River Cruise at sunset.
In Singapore (City Walk)
Travel to Singapore by overland from Malacca (3-4 hours). Then cross the border, enter Singapore. Spend 2 days here exploring why it's called the garden city.
Visit Gardens by the Bay with its towering supertrees, snap a photo with the Merlion, and stroll the trendy streets of Kampong Glam.
Eat like a local at hawker centers—chicken rice, laksa, chili crab, satay—because half the adventure in Singapore is on the plate.
Optional add-ons include wildlife experiences at the Night Safari or Singapore Zoo.
In Indonesia (Bali Island)
Fly to Bali (3 hours) and head into lush, artistic Ubud. Explore rice terraces, artisan workshops, peaceful temples, and Balinese dance shows.
After culture and nature, enjoy the coast in Seminyak, where beaches, sunset bars, and surf lessons slow life down beautifully.
Whether you choose yoga retreats, spa days, or waterfalls, Bali offers the perfect ending mix of culture + relaxation.

Begin your adventure in a city that feels like the future.
Singapore blends sci-fi skyscrapers with hawker stalls that smell like childhood memories. Wander through Gardens by the Bay, take a waterfront stroll near Marina Bay Sands, and snap that classic photo with the Merlion.
Food is part of the experience, so dive into the hawker scene: chicken rice, laksa, satay, and chili crab if you want something messy but legendary.
Optional extra fun? Visit Night Safari, Sentosa's beaches, or ride cable cars over the harbor—it's like a city theme park, minus the rollercoasters.
In Malaysia (Malacca → Kuala Lumpur)
On Day 3, take a comfortable private transfer from Singapore to Malacca (3–4 hours).
This UNESCO world heritage city is a fascinating blend of Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, and Malay history.
Walk around Dutch Square with its iconic red buildings, cruise along the Malacca River, and learn about Peranakan culture at the Baba & Nyonya Heritage Museum. The town's food—like chicken rice balls and Nyonya laksa—is reason enough to visit.
Next, continue to Kuala Lumpur (2 hours).
Spend two days exploring the city's architectural contrasts: gleaming skyscrapers like the Petronas Twin Towers, cultural sites like Batu Caves, and atmospheric neighborhoods such as Chinatown and Little India.
Try street food at Jalan Alor and enjoy KL's lively mix of flavors.
In Indonesia (Java → Yogyakarta)
Fly from Kuala Lumpur to Yogyakarta (about 3 hours). This is the cultural heart of Java and home to two of Southeast Asia's greatest ancient wonders.
Spend your days visiting the majestic Borobudur Temple, the world's largest Buddhist monument, best seen at sunrise when mist rolls over the surrounding jungle. Continue to Prambanan, a towering Hindu temple complex filled with intricate stone carvings.
Between temple visits, explore the city's art markets, batik workshops, and vibrant street food scene. Yogyakarta offers a perfect balance of culture, tradition, and easygoing charm.
In Indonesia (Bali)
Fly directly from Yogyakarta to Bali and settle into lush, cultural Ubud.
Visit rice terraces, artisan villages, waterfalls, temples, and local dance performances. If you love wellness, Ubud is also the perfect place for yoga sessions, spas, and jungle retreats.
Afterward, move to a beach resort—Seminyak, Sanur, Jimbaran, or Nusa Dua—for some well-earned coastal relaxation.
Your final days are all about slow mornings, sunset bars, massages, and maybe a surf lesson or two. Bali's mix of culture and beaches makes it the ideal finish to your two-week journey.
Itinerary #3: The 21-Day Ultimate Southeast Asia Adventure (The Full Experience)
This 3-week journey is the everything version of Southeast Asia: buzzing cities, UNESCO heritage towns, rainforest wildlife, volcano sunrises, island hopping, and beach downtime—all in one beautifully connected route.
It's ideal for travelers with enough time to experience the full diversity of the region, from Peninsular Malaysia's culture to Borneo's jungles, Java's ancient temples and volcanoes, and Bali's world-famous island charm.

In Malaysia (Penang → Sandakan → KL)
Fly from Singapore to Penang to begin a neat west–east–west loop across Malaysia. It's not the usual route, but it lines up perfectly with direct flights—especially the international connections that make your onward travel smoother.
Penang (3 Days)
Start in George Town, a UNESCO gem packed with colonial houses, clan temples, murals, and legendary hawker food. This is Malaysia's food capital, so come hungry—char kway teow, laksa, Hokkien mee, and more are waiting.
Sandakan + Kinabatangan River (3 Days)
Fly to Sandakan next. Meet the rescued orangutans at the Sepilok Rehabilitation Centre and drop by the Sun Bear Conservation Centre.
Continue to the Kinabatangan River for a 2D1N wildlife cruise—proboscis monkeys, hornbills, crocodiles, and, if you're lucky, wild orangutans at sunrise and sunset. It's Malaysia's wild, quiet, unbelievably beautiful side.
Kuala Lumpur (2–3 Days)
Fly back to KL, the final Malaysian stop before heading to Indonesia.
Explore the capital's mix of skyscrapers, temples, and street markets. Don't miss the Petronas Twin Towers, Batu Caves, and the food stalls along Jalan Alor.
When ready, hop onto your direct flight to Indonesia.
Indonesia Part 1: East Java (Bromo, Tumpak Sewu & Ijen)
Fly to Surabaya from KL for a bucket-list experience: the sunrise at Mount Bromo.
Wake up early for the unforgettable Bromo sunrise from Penanjakan Peak, cross the Sea of Sand, and hike to the crater rim.
Next, continue to Tumpak Sewu Waterfall, one of Indonesia's most dramatic cascades, before heading toward Mount Ijen.
At Ijen, hike to the sulfur lake at dawn; if conditions allow, you may even witness the famous blue fire.
After the hike, travel by land and ferry directly into Bali.
Indonesia Part 2: Bali & Komodo
Bali is your chance to slow down and actually enjoy island life.
Start in Ubud, surrounded by rice terraces, waterfalls, craft villages, and endless spa and wellness options.
Afterward, move to a beach destination like Seminyak, Sanur, Uluwatu, or Nusa Dua for relaxation, surf lessons, cafes, and sunsets.
For the adventurous, add a 2-day side trip to Labuan Bajo (Flores) to see the legendary Komodo Dragons, snorkel with manta rays, and cruise through islands with turquoise waters and pink beaches. It's one of the most unique add-ons you can include in a Southeast Asia trip.
Your final days are for unwinding—sunsets, seafood dinners, and ocean breezes—before flying out of Bali on Day 21.
Useful Tips for Singapore Malaysia Indonesia Itinerary Planning Guide
Currencies You'll Use (SGD / MYR / IDR)
You'll be juggling three currencies on this trip:
- SGD (Singapore Dollar) – the strongest of the three; expect higher prices here.
- MYR (Malaysian Ringgit) – much more affordable for food, transport, and hotels.
- IDR (Indonesian Rupiah) – lots of zeros, but good value once you get used to the conversions.
Most places take cards, but having small cash on hand is always useful—especially for night markets, taxis, and rural areas.
Visas (Don't Skip This Part!)
Visa rules vary widely, and they do not overlap between the three countries.
You must check each country separately based on your nationality. These regulations can change, so always confirm before booking your flights.
Packing Tips for Mixed Climates & Activities
This itinerary throws everything at you—cities, temples, beaches, hikes, and early-morning volcano trips. Pack smart:
- City wear for Singapore and KL
- Modest outfits for temples in Penang, KL, and Indonesia
- Swimwear + quick-dry clothes for Bali and island trips
- Light hiking gear for Bromo, Ijen, and waterfalls
- A light jacket for cool sunrise viewpoints
Travel light if you can—flight connections are smoother that way, and laundry services are easy to find.
