Feedback on 17-day Malaysia itinerary

Hi everyone! Back on this forum!!

I’m planning my trip to Malaysia for June. I arrive in KL on June 3rd and leave on the 19th, also from KL. Here’s my itinerary: June 3: KL to Malacca Days 2, 3, 4: Malacca Evening of Day 4: Malacca to Penang Days 5, 6, 7: Penang Day 8: Flight from Penang to Kota Bharu (I found direct morning flights) Transfer from Kota Bharu to Kuala Besut, then to Perhentian Islands Days 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14: Perhentian Islands (still deciding which one) Day 14: Perhentian Islands to Kota Bharu, then flight to KL Days 14, 15, 16: KL Day 17: Return

What do you think of this plan? Is the Malacca to Penang bus trip late at night?

If you have any suggestions, I’m all ears! 😊

Malaka to Penang by bus in the late evening?

Hi, Yes, but you’ll arrive in the middle of the night. The best option in this case is to catch the last bus at 11:45 PM to arrive early in the morning.

Thanks for your reply. Any buses you’d recommend? Websites to book?

I used busonlineticket.com for a month for my travels around Malaysia without any issues, but there are other options too

For Malacca, this recent article will give you some great spots:
