Discover the hidden world of Langkawi
Sure we all know about the adventure to find in Thailand, the long beaches and crystal clear waters. But how about south of their border – ever been to Malaysia?!
If you have, hopefully you didn’t miss the hidden gem of their land… the Jewel of Kedah – Langkawi.
Located just off the mainland of Malaysia accessible by a short 40 minute flight from Kuala Lumpur, Langkawi is an archipelago made up of 99 small islands surrounded by The Andaman Sea. This has become a popular tourist destination over the years, yet not victim to that of the tourism industry often seen with this industry trend. So what can you expect from travelling to Langkawi? Let our experts break it down for you…
1. Island Hopping
This is an absolute MUST-DO when visiting Langkawi. You will be taken on an adventure like never before… by Jet-Ski!! Yes, it’s true. And trust us – you don’t want to miss this experience. Riding the waves at whatever speed you’re comfortable with, you will be taken around many hidden areas of these majestic islands otherwise inaccessible. Expect monkeys, eagles, marine life from below and a spot of snorkelling if you’re lucky! It really is a fantastic experience. Want to know more? We recommend
Naam Adventure! Get in touch for bookings and great deals for this once in a lifetime experience.
2. The Beaches
Langkawi is home to some of the world’s finest beaches. Expect long deserted beach with beautifully clear waters. The setting from Cenang Beach in particular is worth the view. if you head down to The Andaman Hotel for a spot of lunch (if you’re not staying!) you will be greeted by monkeys. Make sure not to feed them – wildlife conservation in Malaysia is key to our planet’s future and feeding them only upsets the balance.
3. Night Markets
During the night time in Langkawi, the temperature stays warm. This is the perfect opportunity to venture out and experience the local night markets. As a region, Langkawi is pretty safe so this makes for a great evening with your loved ones or if you’re travelling solo.
4. Paradise 101
Opened only a few years back,
Paradise 101 is the ultimate day out. Located just off the coast of the main island of Langkawi, you will be picked up by boat transfer and transported just a short ride away to this paradise island. Suitable for all ages, here yourselves zip-lining through the trees, jumping off the aqua park and lazing around on their beach. You can also do jet-skiing and parasailing from here in addition to sunset cruises. How about a game of volleyball or a spot of lunch? Be sure to catch the sunset in their shisha lounge too!
5. The Lake of the Pregnant Maiden
Wow. We don’t want to spoil the surprise so we won’t say too much on this one. Just make sure you pay a visit to this Lake – especially if you’re hoping to get pregnant anytime soon! Legend has it that drinking the water from the lake can make one pregnant! (*disclaimer* we don’t advise drinking from the lake!). Watch out for the monkeys that will be after your water bottles too. There are some really cute baby monkeys hanging around – don’t forget your camera on this one!
6. Cable Car
