Affiliate Disclosure

Hello and Selamat Datang to Dive Into Malaysia, your premier digital compass tailored to guide you through the myriad of choices and plans for your Malaysian adventure. Our site is especially designed to distill the complex facets of travel planning into enjoyable simplicity, focusing on practical, actionable advice to ensure a memorable and hassle-free experience.

Here, you will find genuine recommendations for accommodations, tours, and transport options to suit diverse tastes and budgets.

We may have a financial relationship with some of these services and products we mention.

What are Affiliate Links

In our detailed guides and suggestions, you might notice certain embedded links—these are ‘affiliate links’. The mechanics of affiliate marketing allow us to earn a nominal commission when you follow these links to make a purchase or a booking.

This process does not incur any additional costs to you; in fact, these affiliate links connect you to vetted products and services without affecting the final price you pay.

Affiliate Programs and Their Relevance

Our handpicked affiliate programs are extensions of our content philosophy, ensuring that every recommendation we make is in line with Dive Into Malaysia’s commitment to quality and transparency.

We deliberately align ourselves with reputable and reliable platforms like agoda.com for accommodation, klook.com for tours, and busonlineticket.com for transport bookings. These programs have been rigorously evaluated to ensure they uphold the values we esteem—usability, affordability, and excellence. They are also the same platforms that we use to book our own trips.

Transparent Earnings Disclaimer

We promise to maintain a clear boundary between our content creation and affiliate earnings. This means every article, review, and recommendation is crafted independent of the commissions we could earn.

Our income is standardised across various services, which positions us to be impartial, focusing solely on delivering invaluable content to aid your travel decisions without any hidden agendas or biases.

Commitment to Honest Reviews

Asserting our commitment to integrity, Dive Into Malaysia ensures all reviews and endorsements are the result of unbiased evaluations and personal experiences.

We firmly refuse any affiliatory arrangements that seek to impose editorial control, thus preserving our right to critique without constraint. We believe in the power of transparency and trustworthiness, maintaining these tenets as the foundation for our site’s credibility.

Privacy Considerations

We respect your digital privacy as fiercely as we cherish your trust in our recommendations. All interactions with affiliate links are managed cautiously, aligning with the best practices and protective measures detailed within our Privacy Policy.

We are committed to safeguarding your personal data, ensuring it remains confidential and is utilised solely to enhance your experience with Dive Into Malaysia.

By diligently following these parameters, we uphold the ethical groundwork upon which Dive Into Malaysia is built, fostering an environment of respect, lawfulness, and trust for every individual who visits our platform.
