Ready To Head Back Out?
After months of prolonged lockdown, the vaccination rate in Klang Valley has finally exceeded the herd immunity target, with over 90% of the population now fully vaccinated. Relaxed SOPs have been put in place for fully vaccinated individuals, who will now finally be able to enjoy certain activities that have been banned for the past few months - this includes dining in at restaurants, staycations within the city, and travelling interdistrict as well as between KL and Selangor.
We've compiled a list of activities you can now do around KL and Selangor if you're fully vaccinated - make sure to keep your masks on while you plan a safe and fun day out with your loved ones!
12 Fun Things You Can Now Do If You're Fully Vaccinated
1. Try your hand at pottery
Looking to explore a new, satisfying, and therapeutic hobby? Take this opportunity to try your hand at pottery-making! Learn to create a one-of-a-kind art piece with your very own hands and enjoy the calming vibe of spinning clay by signing up for a pottery class at one of the many pottery studios around Klang Valley.
Our personal recommendations are 22CraftStudio in Kepong and Good Times DIY Pottery Studio in Paradigm Mall Petaling Jaya! You can opt for a trial class that's perfect for beginners (from RM90 per pax) or a package course if you're ready to learn the art from A to Z.
2. Go for a hike or nature walk
For the ones who miss getting some fresh air and a good sweat, recreational activities such as jogging and hiking are finally allowed again! Escape the hustle and bustle of the city by going on a fun (or challenging, if you're up for it) hike or nature walk.
There are actually many scenic hiking trails in and around KL and Selangor, many of these spots will reward you with breathtaking views once you reach the top - you can even catch a beautiful sunrise or sunset at the peak with your loved ones.
3. Plan a city staycation
While the interstate travel ban is still in place, this doesn't mean you can't plan a weekend getaway with your loved ones. Based on the newly announced MCO SOPs, homestays and hotel stays within the city are now allowed for fully vaccinated individuals. For those who need a breather, we recommend planning a city staycation at one of the many hotels dotted around Klang Valley.
Whether you'd prefer spending a night in a luxurious 5-star hotel or a chic and wallet-friendly boutique hotel, we've got some great suggestions for you. Time to clear your annual leaves and plan a well-deserved staycation!
4. Dine out in a safe space
After months of only allowing food delivery and takeaways, dine-in is finally allowed again as we step into phase 2 of the MCO. However, with cases still on a rise, we'd recommend picking a restaurant with a spacious layout, good ventilation, and enhanced safety measures put in place if you'd like to dine out.
We've compiled a list of dining spots that are perfect whether for a long-awaited intimate dinner date with your significant other or a small gathering with your friends or family (some even offer private dining rooms for ultimate safety and comfort). Check these restaurants out:
5. Have a private fishing experience
Fishing is another activity that is now allowed! If you'd like to plan a laid-back day out, we'd highly recommend making your way to the Hulu Langat Fishing Resort, known as one of the best fishing spots in Selangor.
This tranquil resort consists of a large fishing pond fringed by cosy accommodation for those who'd like to spend a night here. Cast your line and learn the art of fishing from private, comfortable platforms - you won't have to worry about brushing shoulders with strangers while you're here. All fishing equipment such as rods and baits are available for rental if you don't have your own.
6. Head back to the cinemas
Movie buffs are probably ecstatic to find out that cinemas are finally allowed to reopen after months of closure! Cinemas nationwide can now operate with 50% of the capacity of the screening halls (do note that couple seats will only be allowed for members of the same household) and fully vaccinated individuals can enter after showing proof of their vaccination. Make sure you adhere to the SOPs and keep your mask up at all times! Enjoy discounted rates when you book your open-dated GSC or TGV tickets on Klook.
7. Go bouldering
Along with the relaxed SOPs, climbing gyms across Klang Valley have also reopened with strict safety measures put in place - this includes compulsory mask-wearing, reduced outlet capacity to avoid overcrowding, the requirement to reserve your slot in advance, and more.
Enjoy a good workout at Camp5, a climbing gym with three branches around Klang Valley fitted with spacious layouts, high ceilings, and a good range of rock climbing and bouldering walls. You can book your 1-hour guided try bouldering session at the Camp5 One Utama, Utropolis, or KL Eco City branch on Klook.
8. Go ice skating at Sunway Pyramid
The Sunway Pyramid Ice Skating Rink is another spot that has finally reopened in September. Fully vaccinated individuals can now grab a pair of skates and have a fun time gliding across the ice - pssst, don't worry if you're new to this, you can learn the basics of the sport under the guidance of patient, friendly, and professional trainers on-site.
Note: Sunway Pyramid Ice has put in place safety measures to ensure all skaters have a safe and enjoyable time, make sure you pre-book your tickets on Klook for a hassle-free visit!
9. Have a Sip & Paint afternoon with your loved ones
Want to do something artsy this weekend? Paint your worries and stress away by heading for a sip and paint experience, a unique activity well suited for groups of friends, family, colleagues, or couples. You can even pair up and create a masterpiece on two canvases that can be pieced together to form a combined artwork!
In case you're looking for suggestions of art studios around KL and Selangor, we'd suggest Art & Bonding in Desa Sri Hartamas or Tapir Place in Bandar Sunway!
10. Go on a day trip within Selangor
Who says you can only go on trips when the interstate travel restrictions are lifted? In case you didn't know, there are actually many day trip-worthy spots located just a short drive from the KL city centre.
If you're craving a change of scenery, fancy planning a nearby road trip with your loved ones - you can go white water rafting and camping in Kuala Kubu Bharu, get some sea breeze at Tanjung Sepat, visit the paddy fields at Sekinchan, or cruise through the Sungai Selangor in search of eagles and fireflies.

11. Plan a picnic
Picnics are also now allowed in Klang Valley! Get some fresh air and sunshine away from the crowds by planning a picnic at one of the scenic, lovely picnic spots around KL and Selangor - our favourites are the Taman Saujana Hijau in Putrajaya, the KLCC Park, and the Perdana Botanical Garden located in the heart of the city.
Most of these picnic spots are pretty spacious and can accommodate many groups of people, but just to be safe, make sure you walk around and spread your mat at a spot away from others for some quality time with your friends or family. Elevate your picnic game by booking an instagrammable picnic rental set on Klook!
