Full Day Payar Island from Langkawi

Malaysia’s Kedah State may not ring any bells as one of the country’s magnets when it comes finding your holiday sweet spot in Malaysia, but when connecting the northwestern state with Langkawi, postcard pictured beaches and rain forest galore will spring to mind. A collection of tropical allure lies off the Malaysian Peninsula where its native inhabitants gladly share their love with those interested in learning, exploring and participating more about its cherished traditions. Langkawi’s slow paced island life has generated ample examples of a culturally-thriving way of life: handicraft, religion and history form a binding triangle of the true heart and soul of one of Malaysia’s most endearing choices for a well-earned holiday. Boasting islands of bounty-like quality, this full day tour just perfects what’s rightfully one of the finest definitions of tropical Malaysia.

Guests are welcomed at the hotel lobby along one of Langkawi’s selected beaches by the driver cum guide for the day. This joint transfer may include making a few stops en route to pick up other guests before making your way to the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, the starting point for your cruising venture to one of the many islands off the Langkawi coast line. Scheduled to leave at 09:30 hrs sharp, the morning starts with a cup of coffee and tea before the ocean winds hail the arrival of your day out on the ocean and onto a little paradise called Payar. One of the close-to 100 islands that form the Langkawi Archipelago, guests can look forward to a full day of sun, sand, sea and sceneries of stunning serene beauty. During the morning ride, guests will receive a complete briefing about the safety matters and what’s in store for the day to come.

Upon arrival, the sandy shores beckon beach seekers to don on masks and fins for an exploration of the underwater world. Those interested to really go beneath the surface, the team on board and on the island can give enthusiasts an introduction into the wondrous world of scuba diving (additional fees are applicable). Aside from the feeling of being worlds away from your Langkawi resort, the natural treasures below the ocean surface take you to a whole new world. If all this is not on your wish list, no worries! The warm sands of the island form an excellent base to lay down your beach towel and dream away over the azure blue landscape of the Andaman Sea. A packed lunch is included during this day.

After making your final dip in the ocean, your captain and his crew are signalling that it is time to head back to Langkawi. The boat ride back to the mainland, the Royal Langkawi Yacht Club, is followed by an air-conditioned joint coach ride back to your report where we expect to arrive at around 15:30 hrs.
