I have been procrastinating writing about this trip for a year already because I never enjoy writing about my experience at a theme park (I am never good at writing that). Then I figured out that I should stop procrastinating and start writing. Apparently, the longer I procrastinate, the harder it becomes to start.

You will be greeted by the a huge water park area consisting a lazy river, a wave pool and beach, water slides and a kids play zone with slides and pirate ship.
Do not forget your sunblock while having your fun and games. Also remember to bring along some spare clothes for a change after a whole day of fun at the water park.

Specially designed for the kids, the Kids Explorabay offers a big and wet interactive play area featuring a large pirate ship with kid-sized slides, water cannons, water curtains and fountains and a giant tipping bucket which overturns when it is filled to the brim. Kids will certainly enjoy playing and splashing at the Kids Explorabay!

The Sandy Bay is filled with crystal white sands. Enjoy a cool drink on the soft white sands and soak up some sun. Visitors can even build sandcastles and engage in a game of volleyball with their family and friends.
Jungle Wave Pool
The Jungle Wave Pool is the biggest wave pool in Malaysia, with seven different wave patterns that can rise as high as three feet tall. At the Jungle Wave Pool, visitors can enjoy the ocean-like waves or sit on the shore and let the waves tickles your toes.
Tube Raiders
The Tube Raiders is the longest inflatable tube ride in Malaysia. There are a total of four different slides measuring between 113 m to 115 m long. Simply grab a tube and wind your way down from the top of the giant slides while screaming your lungs out before ending up in a smaller pool.
Cliff Racer
For those who like a little more thrill on an already exhilarating tube ride, you can try the Cliff Racer. Visitors will get to sail straight down from a dazzling heights at maximum speed through the jungle canopy. The tube will rock gently upon hitting the end of the slide and slides back with flowing water.
Adventure Pool
A water park would not be complete without a lazy pool. Measuring 600 metres long, the Adventure Pool is the longest man-made adventure river in Malaysia.
Rent a tube and drifts yourself away in a giant rubber tube along with the giant waves while enjoying the beautiful natural landscapes surrounding the attraction. The river passes though ruins with special effects like smoke, lights, sounds of monkeys, insects and elephants and water sprays with calm and shallow water.
Hot Spring & Spa
The Lost World Of Tambun is the only theme park in Southeast Asia with natural hot springs coupled with an array of attractions and rides.

Foot Spa
There is a circular Foot Spa with its floor fitted with reflexology pebbles.
Soothe your sore and tiring feets as you walk on the pebbles while enjoying the hot spring waters.
Walking on the pebbles is believed to cleanse your body of toxins and impurities, and simulates the production of Endorphins, which helps to improve the body immune systems.
Crystal Spa
Crystal Spa is a spa facility offering a huge array of spa and facial treatments to rejuvenate, relax and de-stress you.
After a long and tiring day at the Lost World Of Tambun, visitors can enjoy a full body massage therapy in the privacy and comfort of their own massage hut. However, please note that Crystal Spa is not included in the entrance ticket and is to be paid separately.
The Saphiras Lair is specially designed for children, but adults will love it too. Since the hot springs are part of the theme park, you will expect crowds of all ages, from adults to young children. Not too bad, but certainly not a tranquil and relaxing experience.
Lost World Petting Zoo
The Petting Zoo is home to 4,000 animals from 55 species, consisting of a Rabbit Wonderland, Ruby& Friends, Bird Paradise, Serpentarium, Tortoise Kingdom, Porcupine Trail and Rain Forest Trail.
At the Petting Zoo, kids will have the opportunity to come face-to-face with miniature horses, rabbits, raccoons, snakes, birds, porcupines and many other adorable animals. It will be a fun and immersive educational experience for the whole family.
Miniature Horses
There are several Miniature horses available for riding and petting.
Visitors can watch and observe these adorable creature closely for free.
The Petting Zoo is created within the natural jungle, against the backdrop of limestone hills. It offers the unique opportunity for both adults and children to interact and appreciate animals from a closer perspective.
Ruby & Friends
Ruby, the raccoon is the star of the Petting Zoo. These nocturnal animal is very gentle and incredibly adorable - definitely my favorite! I am sure both adults and kids will love them too!
There was a raccoon feeding session at 12 noon everyday. If you are lucky, you might have the chance to feed a raccoon too!
Rabbit Wonderland
Surrounded by a man-made river, the Rabbit Wonderland is truly a wonderland for kids.
At Rabbit Wonderland, kids will have an enjoyable time petting and playing with all kinds of rabbits.
Children can also go fishing at the river where they can catch some Long keng fish and other small fishes.
Serpentarium
Be prepared to be completely surrounded by cold-blooded reptiles as you walked through a transparent tunnel. You will be greeted by reticulated pythons, the yellow anaconda, the King Cobra and many more.
Frankly speaking, it was scary to walk through the transparent tunnel with snakes slithering on the ground or coiled up in the corner. Even worst, there was a huge serpent resting just right above our heads, and we were really worried that the glass might break from its enormous weight.
Bird Paradise
Surrounded by limestone hills and lush green forest, the glass enclosed aviary is home to 500 friendly colorful birds from 18 different species.
From the moment you walked in, you are in another world, with flocks of birds landing on and flying everywhere around you.
The Bird Paradise offers you the opportunity to observe, interact and photograph the friendly free flying birds at a close distance.
It was wonderful to be surrounded by beautiful and colorful birds. They do not bite, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about. But I would suggest that you stay away from the peacocks because I feel that they can be aggressive at times.
Malayan/ Asian Tapir
Porcupines
Hairless Rat
Passing through the Petting Zoo, we crossed a wooden bridge that leads to the Rainforest Trail.
Water Monitor Lizard
Looking down from the bridge, we saw a giant Water Monitor Lizard swimming around in the pond. The bridge can be quite slippery when it is wet. Be careful not to slip and fall!
