“What would you do if you were stuck on an island?” — an age-old question, a 3AM conversation goer, and a way to analyse one’s personality. For the most part, it’s not a very serious question (the probability of this happening is very slim), but on the off chance that it does, you better cross your fingers and hope that the island in question is Langkawi.

Just imagine yourself leaning back on a beach chair with your legs outstretched, your entire body drenched in sunlight, while the sound of crashing waves envelopes you in a warm embrace. Now that is paradise.

Snorkelling and diving unlocks a whole new world for us land creatures, but they still come with their own set of restraints. At Langkawi Underwater World, the ocean is your oyster (well, technically, the aquariums are your oyster). If you feel like swimming with the colourful fish isn’t enough, head over to Langkawi’s beloved attraction to learn more about the island’s aquatic life. Penguins, jellyfish, turtles— whatever you can think of, they have it.
Langkawi Underwater World is one of those rare gems that won’t burn a hole in your wallet, and its relatively affordable price makes it a must-visit for families on holiday.

When in the Jewel of Kedah, Langkawi SkyCab is a must. A ride in one of their gondolas will have you floating across a dense jungle as you make your way to the top of Machinchang mountain. Turn your ride up a notch with the Bottom Glass Gondola that’ll grant you an aerial view of the mountain directly below your feet, or the open-air 360° Gondola if you want to enjoy the cool Langkawi breeze and fresh air.

Once you’ve reached the peak of the mountain, don’t miss out on the SkyBridge. Take your time to walk around and admire the mesmerising view of Langkawi island and capture all the photos you can; we guarantee you’ll be awestruck by the bright blue sky and deep blue sea.
You can also skip the queue and bundle your ticker together with an express lane pass!
11. Langkawi Wildlife Park
Back to Langkawi, back to nature. We’re not just referring to the sandy beaches and soothing seas. Langkawi is home to an abundance of flora and fauna— if you want to discover more, head over to Langkawi Wildlife Park!

From feathered friends like pelicans and emus, to adorable critters like wallabies and otters, this wildlife park’s got it covered. Here, you can see over 150 animal species, some of which you’ll get the chance to see up close and touch! Don’t miss out on the animal shows either, we’re sure your young ones will love watching the otters in action.
12. Tour the island on a motorbike or scooter
For most of us city folk, living a slow and quiet life is but a dream; leisurely strolls down coastal roads and crisp fresh air are things we only get while on holiday. Make the most of Langkawi’s serenity by touring the island by yourself, and the best way to do so is by renting a motorbike or scooter.
Explore the island at your own pace— make as many pit stops as you want, take as many pictures as you can, and try out all the food on your checklist! Travelling via motorbike will allow you to appreciate your surroundings, making your trip to Langkawi even more special. Each rental package comes with 2 helmets, so you and a loved one can experience the best of the island at the same time.
13. Royal Mangrove Tour
Other than island hopping, the Royal Mangrove Tour is a must! Fit for adventurers and nature lovers of all ages, this half-day excursion will bring you to all of Langkawi’s most exciting attractions. We highly recommend this tour because you'll get to experience things you wouldn't normally encounter in your everyday life. Rediscover the complex beauty of mother nature through the limestone rocks and mangroves of Kilim Geopark, as well as the lush greenery of Gorilla Mountain. You'll also get the chance to see bats in their natural habitat, and watch eagles swoop by!
14. Batik Painting
After all that exploring and swimming, it’s finally time to wind down with a relaxing activity like batik painting. Perfect for those with a knack for arts and crafts, batik painting not only gives you the opportunity to learn more about Malaysia’s beloved textile technique, it also gives you a personalised souvenir to bring home!
It’s pretty straightforward too— the hardest part is probably choosing your design and ink colours. Batik painting can be a very therapeutic activity to do with your loved ones, so if you need to step away from the uber busy areas of the island, this is the place to be.
