Genting Highlands DIY Tour
On our second day in KL we went on a DIY Day-trip tour at Genting Highlands. We took the MRT going to KL Sentral from KLCC and then took the bus going Genting Highlands which costs MYR11.00 for a single journey. The bus goes directly to the Genting Skyway Cable Car Station as the Awana Skyway Cable Car was on a weeklong maintenance during our visit, which meant that we would miss visiting the Chin Swee Temple. Genting Skyway roundtrip ticket cost MYR 19.00. We went on a weekday, there were no queue for the cable car ride going up and also on our way down. We had the whole cable car all to ourselves! We went straight to First World Plaza which had several selections of restaurants where we had our lunch. Went on to Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park, Arena of Stars, Sky Avenue and Genting Casino. On our way back we took the free shuttle service from Genting Skyway station going to the Genting Highlands Outlet shops and back to Genting Skyway station for the bus ride going back to KL Sentral. It was a day well spent at Genting Highlands.
Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience in Genting Highlands! Sounds like you had a smooth and enjoyable trip, especially with the whole cable car to yourselves. Glad to hear you had a wonderful day exploring the attractions, dining, and shopping. A great way to spend the day outside KL!

it is a not a guided tour, just pick and drop service
I thought it is a guided tour but unfortunately it was not. Vehicle only dropped us at location in the morning and then picked up in the evening.
Response from the operator: "Thank you for your feedback! We’re sorry for the misunderstanding and appreciate your comments. We’ll work on making our tour descriptions clearer. Hope to serve you better next time!"

Why this scores 52
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple cost?
+
Prices start at $150 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuala Lumpur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuala Lumpur is not rushed.
Is Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuala Lumpur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuala Lumpur and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Genting Highlands & Batu Caves Day Tour + Chin Swee Temple start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuala Lumpur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuala Lumpur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sambal Streets Kuala Lumpur Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Private Half-Day Batu Caves and Cutural Tour in Kuala Lumpur. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuala Lumpur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
