Day 1 Kuantan Itinerary | Family Day at the Beach & Zoo
A good start to a first day during a trip to Kuantan is a morning at the beach and an afternoon in the park, which is totally possible in Kuantan. Two of the city’s main attractions sit side-by-side and offer a full day’s worth of activities.
- Pantai Teluk Cempedak – known as Palm Beach, this white-sand beach on the eastern coast of Kuantan is popular for swimming, surfing and walks along the promenade. The beach stretches for one kilometer, and restaurants are plentiful on the north end.
- Mini Zoo Park Teruntum – sitting next to Palm Beach is beautiful Mini Zoo Park Teruntum and Teruntum Park. The zoo is small but features several exotic animals, and entry is free. The outlying park area contains well-paved walking trails, picnic areas, a playground and seaside viewpoints. Next door, Royal Pahang Golf Club’s manicured greens add to this massive green space.

Day 2 Kuantan Itinerary | Explore Nature
Kuantan city possesses some charming qualities, particularly in city center, but nature lovers might want to venture outside the city to enjoy some of Malaysia’s fantastic wilderness. The region features several worthwhile attractions, but the second day should be spent exploring two of the most scenic regions outside Kuantan.
- Bukit Panorama – sunrise is one of the best times to visit Bukit Panorama, a mountain viewpoint about 25 miles (40 kilometers) northwest of Kuantan. The hike to the top of 1,000 steps takes about 30 to 45 minutes. The staircase has railings and several stopping spots for taking breathers and award-winning photos. While sunrise is the most popular time to climb up Bukit Panorama, anytime of the day is a great time to take in the view.
- Sungai Pandan Waterfall – after a morning hike to Bukit Panorama, nothing will feel better than a cool dip in a pool formed naturally by one of Malaysia’s most famous waterfalls. This majestic beauty is 18 miles (40 kilometers) south of Bukit Panorama, and along with swimming, visitors can enjoy picnics under shade trees, recreational activities and fun walking trails.
