Activities

Guests to this beach paradise will find there are so many things to do on the island and our Recreation Counter will be able to tailor all the activities according to your time here and your interests.

River Cruise

The mangrove and river cruise is highly recommended to visitors here as it allows you to explore the mangrove forest and the different types of wildlife and geological locations by boat. Traversing through Kilim river your guide will make all the necessary stops but sometimes tourists are able to spot a shore pit viper hanging from a tree or otters playing in the river before he does. Watch brahminy kites feed, monkeys swim, land walking fish scurry away from the drone of the boat, vividly coloured kingfishers swoop down for a kill, various types of mud crabs disappear into the mangrove swamp, monitor lizards lazily bask on the mud and venture into lime stone caves for a glimpse of a flying lemur. Guests have a choice of breaking for lunch at the fish farm, a floating farm with a restaurant attached where the operators cook up any fish you pick from the farm. Here, you can get up close with some of our largest river fish, feed sting rays, hold a crab in your hands or just learn from the guide about the various types of fish that make this winding tributary their home.

Pulau Payar Marine Park

Located south of Langkawi Island, this marine park covers two nautical miles comprising four small uninhabited islands and is a diver’s paradise. There is no accommodation here but tourists are allowed to camp here. Fishing is prohibited and is you don’t scuba dive, you can snorkel. Teeming with coral reefs with an average visibility of 9 to 15 metres these waters offer divers a chance to see barracudas, cod and snappers. If you’re not keen on getting wet but want to experience the marine life here try the package tour that includes going on board the Langkawi Coral, a floating platform built with a tunnel-like chamber more than 10 feet below the sea with a panoramic view of the underwater world. Guests are advised to plan a day trip for this marine adventure. There are also two trekking trails on Pulau Payar.

Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells)

A wondrous geological location where freshwater cascades down seven waterfalls flowing one into the other and create seven pools culminating in a grand waterfall, Telaga Tujuh is said to be the place where fairies descended to bath and frolic. The hike up is steep and passes through mature rainforest, home to monkeys and other wildlife. Located on Gunung Mat Cincang, the top of this 91 meter high waterfall is accessible by car, motorbike and taxi. Pack water and get ready for a splashing good time.

Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden)

This freshwater lake has is said to have been blessed with the power to bestow fertility to barren women, by a celestial princess. The Legend tells of the princess who falls in love with an earthly prince, marries him and loses her first born. The grief stricken princess throws her baby into the lake and returns to her world. Your guide will be quick to point out that, from a certain angle (one which will be shown to you), the island resembles a pregnant lady, almost seven months into her pregnancy, lying on her back. Today the island is an attraction for its mystical powers and for picnic tours and is facilitated with a jetty, public toilets and a souvenir shop.

Mahsuri's Tomb – Makam Mahsuri

A Shrine memory of Mahsuri, the legendary 19th century Langkawi princess, is found here in a typical Malay village surrounded by the rice fields. There are souvenir shops and foods stall nearby.

Ibrahim Hussein Museum and Cultural Foundation
