We really enjoyed the experience. We didn't see many animals during the trekking part because there were so many people, but the overall excursion was highly recommended, and the guides were fantastic.

Best way to travel with just 30 minutes train ride from the airport to KL Central. Just scan the QR code directly from Klook App. I'm really impressed with how easy it is to navigate. Well Recommended!

I really liked the KL Travel Pass — it made getting around the city so much easier! The included airport transfer via the KLIA Ekspres was smooth and convenient, and the unlimited rides on the LRT, MRT, and Monorail made exploring KL hassle-free. It was especially convenient when visiting places like Bukit Bintang and KLCC. Activating the pass was simple, and I didn’t have to worry about topping up or buying separate tickets. Definitely recommend it for anyone visiting KL and planning to use public transport!
