Nestled in the unique highland environment of Genting Highlands, Resorts World Awana offers a curated sanctuary where families can connect with nature and each other. From immersive rainforest explorations to hands-on culinary and gardening programmes for the little ones, this destination provides a holistic, family-friendly itinerary designed to create lasting memories.

Here’s your guide to the exceptional family activities awaiting you at Resorts World Awana.

Discover Biodiversity with Genting Nature Adventures

Transform a simple walk in the woods into an educational journey with Genting Nature Adventures. Designed in collaboration with environmental experts and educators, these nature-based learning experiences introduce visitors to the rich biodiversity of the rainforest. Families can observe native flora and fauna, including rare orchids and the totally protected Siamang species, while learning about intricate ecosystems and conservation efforts.

Families can enjoy several engaging ways to explore the beautiful highland environment. If you prefer to wander at your own flexible pace, the Awana Trail is an excellent choice. This non-guided, two-kilometre journey is a wonderful, breezy walk that takes about 45 minutes to complete. You can head out any time between 8am and 3pm daily, just be sure to begin your trek before their last entry at 2pm. For a deeper dive into the rainforest's secrets, the Clearwater Way offers a guided six-kilometre return trek that departs daily at 9am. Over the course of about two hours, our expert guides will lead you through the vibrant jungle, pointing out hidden wonders along the way. Finally, if you’re looking for an unforgettable evening adventure, you absolutely must experience our Night Safari. Operating on Fridays and Saturdays at 7pm, weather permitting, this 90 to 120-minute guided tour reveals the mystical side of the rainforest after dark. Advance reservations are required and remember to check in for registration at 6.45pm before the nighttime journey begins.

Hands-On Interactive Programmes for Children

Beyond the rainforest trails, Resorts World Awana offers a selection of enriching "Back to Nature" activities tailored to nurture young minds and keep children happily engaged.

Continuing the journey of discovery, the Nature’s Little Planters programme encourages children to explore the basics of gardening through a hands-on learning experience. Available daily at 3pm and 5pm, this engaging activity is perfectly tailored to younger guests under 12 years old. During each session, your kids will be introduced to fundamental seed-planting techniques and given the opportunity to apply what they learn in a practical setting. It’s a wonderful chance for them to dig into the soil, connect directly with the earth, and experience the joy of gardening right here at Resorts World Awana.

After a fulfilling day of exploring the rainforest trails or participating in interactive workshops with your little ones, we invite you to gather the whole family for a well-deserved evening dip. Located conveniently on the Lobby Floor, our heated outdoor swimming pool provides a comfortable and inviting aquatic escape against the cool highland breeze.
