Langkawi holidays

Embark on a breathtaking cruise into Langkawi’s impressive wetland and lush mangrove forest, observing the island's diverse flora and fauna from the unique perspective of the river. Discover how mangrove wood is processed into charcoal and see the spectacular time-sculptured limestone cliffs at Bad Cave, all the while spotting wildlife including birds, fish and sea otters. You'll also visit some of the Langkawi archipelago’s other islands – there are 104 in total (99 during low tide) – seeing the legendary Pulau Dayang Bunting or Lake of Pregnant Maiden. Boating between tiny undeveloped islands, see eagles dipping for fish, watch crab-eating monkeys and marvel at Pulau Singa Besar’s verdant rainforest. At Pulau Beras Basah take a dip in crystal clear water or relax by the uninhabited beach.

Visit the Bon Ton Kampung Houses and illusive Mahsuri’s Tomb – this vengeful woman cursed Langkawi for seven generations after she was wrongfully convicted of adultery and sentenced to death. At Black Sand Beach discover whether the remains from the great battle between Garuda and Jentayu still exist, as some believe. This peaceful beach is stained with black sand that’s thought to be caused by iron oxide, although legend suggests it’s due to the soil of rice fields burnt in the Siamese war. Just down the road, see the intricate Malaysian batik on display at a craft centre. Try your hand at batik making, a dyeing process that uses wax to produce various designs and motifs. Lastly, marvel at the towering statue of a reddish brown eagle, its wings outstretched in flight, at Eagle Square in the centre of town.
