Full Day Langkawi Grand Tour

The name Langkawi alone stands for tropical climates, azure-blue ocean swells, clashing on sandy beaches and pristine rainforest, wanting to be explored. A cluster of 99 green islands, flowing like small dots in a crystal-clear ocean, has been officially accredited by UNESCO as a World Geopark. The exploration of Pulau Langkawi itself requires taking you on a full day out and about and this day, it is all about this bounty island with its numerous sights and interesting spots. Guided by a local expert, who know the history and local roads like the back of their hand, Langkawi’s Grand Tour is not only one of the most complete tours, it also is grand in getting meeting its local residents.

Depending on the location of your resort on the island, the detailed day description may change but we guarantee that all sights, sounds and smells en route will be captured in this 8-hour day trip. From your resort, your guide cum driver will head first to an institution of immense importance: crocodiles roamed the lands around Langkawi for generations and the protection of these predators has been essential also on this island. Covering 20 acres, the Langkawi Crocodile Farm is home to over 1000 animals, ranging from the just hatched to some older ‘boys’ and girls’. The compound of Taman Buaya Langkawi lies just 30 kilometres north of Kuah, the main town on the island.

The Oriental Village Langkawi is an outdoor lifestyle and shopping centre, constructed at the foothills of Mount Mat Cincang. The mountain is the starting point for the scenic cable cart ride up (included) to the view platforms, some 800 meters above sea level with amazing panoramic views over Langkawi the other island, off its coast. Nearby, the centuries-old traditions of batik painting are on display at the Batik Village, where customers can browse around in search for a souvenir or getting a hand-dyed sarong. We continue to visit the tomb of the legendary Princess Mahsuri in the town of Mawat. Fables and myths go around the island about this legend of this princess which your guide is happy to elaborate on. During the day and before the tours comes to an end, we include lunch at a local restaurant

Three more places of great interest will pass the revue before we bring you back to your hotel; Langkawi’s Black Sand Beach - Pantai Pasir Hitam – is actually a mixture of black and white sands with legends trying to ascertain the truth behind it. The unique scenery makes it a popular weekend spot for local residents. Langkawi is inadmissibly connected with the eagle and to make this connection even stronger Eagle Square with its huge statue confirms the importance of the island with this feathered friend. Finally, we end at Kuah Town, located near Eagle Square as the entry point for those coming by ferry from either the mainland or Penang Island. A full day comes to an end and your guide cum driver for the day brings you back in all comfort to your hotel on the island.
