3 DAYS ITINERARY IN LANGKAWI ISLAND
For those hoping to investigate Langkawi in a brief timeframe, read on to find what to do and see in Langkawi in three days.
DAY 1
09:00 KILIM GEOFOREST PARK
It is best to spend the first day exploring Langkawi islets and mangroves. Spreading over almost 100 square kilometers, Kilim Karst Geoforest Park is home to mangroves. Also, different untamed life and a skimming fish ranch. It looks just as limestone caverns and arrangements that are more than 500 million years of age.
The trip starts with a boat trip, and you should expect to meet floating restaurants and cafes. Also, falcons and birds flying high in the sky. Due to its popularity, you can easily find boat rentals, jet ski tours, and river cruises to suit your budget and preference. Accessible toward the beginning of the day and evening, going from island to island in Langkawi includes visiting three unmistakable islets that encompass the principal island. Contingent upon the season and visit administrators, this half-day visit is valued somewhere in the range of MYR35 and MYR50 per individual.
The Pulau Dayang Bunting and Pulau Beras Basah islets permit a few hours of recreational exercises, for example, swimming, paddling, plunging, and sunbathing, trailed by a falcon taking care of meeting on Singa Besar Island. It is a glorious element of white-bellied feathered creatures of prey that plunge from the sky to get their prey in the water.
15:00 TANJUNG RHU BEACH: SWIMMING TIME
In my opinion, the best beach in Langkawi is Tanjung Rhu beach. The location is on the north-west edge of Langkawi Island. The word Tanjung Rhu means ‘Cape of Casuarina Trees.’ Tanjung Rhu Beach is a tranquil beach. You can enjoy peaceful sunbathing or even swimming. No boats or buggies will disturb you. The best time to visit is from the afternoon till sunset. Typically on your way back from your trip to Mangrove Kilim Karst Geopark tour. It is only a few meters walk from the dock to number one Langkawi Geo Echo Adventures.
There are many beaches in Langkawi, all of them are scenic and suitable for swimming. By default, anyone would tell you that Cenang beach is the best beach in Langkawi, that is true if you are seeking water activities like beach buggy or banana boat. But Cenang beach is a bit crowded, and it is swimming unfriendly. In the end, definitely, you will enjoy Langkawi beaches. All you have to do is just to pick the best beach in Langkawi.
19:00 NIGHT: DINNER ON THE SEA VIEW
In the wake of an exhausting day, the clamoring Pantai Cenang is the perfect setting for a nightfall supper on the seashore. With extraordinary points of view on the Andaman Sea and Gunung Mat Cincang, these beachfront bistros serve an arrangement of the neighborhood, Asian, Western, and European cooking, additionally new fish.
21:00 LUXURIOUS BARS AND PARLORS
On account of its tax-exempt arrangement, Pantai Cenang is additionally offering columns of bars and parlors offering numerous heavy drinkers offers at appealing costs. Guests can unwind in loungers or beanbags on the seashore, watching the most recent game on LCD screens, initiate a discussion with different vacationers or local people, and appreciate unrecorded music until late.
DAY 2
09:00 PANORAMA LANGKAWI
Next, visit the vertigo-causing Langkawi Sky Bridge, a 125-meter high. On the bridge, you can enjoy a twisted walk where you can see Gunung Mat Cincang, Telaja Tujuh falls, and a couple of islets incorporating Langkawi. Available through the Langkawi link vehicle, tickets are estimated at MYR35 for grown-ups and MYR25 for kids (2-12 years).
When you have arrived at the last station (roughly 700 meters above ocean level), there is a ten-minute stroll to the hardened steel connect. Start your commitment-free shopping gorge at Oriental Village, an Asian-themed food, shopping, and beguilement focus point at the base of the Langkawi Cable Car. A considerable part of the shops here offers obligation-free items, easygoing wear, trinkets, and nearby specialties.
It’s not only about the bridge and the cable car, the fun continues on the ground. After you come down, here is a list of what you can expect
- 6D Cinemotion
- SkyRex: experience a 3D trip to the land of dinosaurs
- Time travel: from Jurassic age to the year 3300 and more
- 3D museum: Langkawi 3D ‘Art in paradise’ museum visit from here
19:00 NIGHT MARKET: LANGKAWI LOCAL DINNER
No Langkawi party is finished without attempting neighborhood fish dishes and getting a charge out of modest mixed refreshments on the seashore. Also, you can enjoy local dishes, Nasi Ayam (rice with chicken) is very popular and Nasi lemak (rich rice) is my favourite. Interestingly, you can find the night market every night of the week at a different spot. For instance, the night market on Thursday is near to pentai Cenang beach. Usually the night market is from 5 pm to 9 pm. All you have to do is to ask the Taxi or grab driver to take u to the night market.
DAY 3
09:00 TELAGA TUJUH FALLS
Start the third day of your Langkawi outing with a morning move to the Telaga Tujuh falls. Situated at Mount Mat Cincang, the healthy development includes a progression of seven associated natural pools took care of by seven separate cascades. You will be invited with brilliant points of view on the Burau Bay and Pantai Kok after a problematic move to the most elevated purpose of the falls, overlooking enormous rocks and through the seven lakes. You will, in like manner, likely watch various macaques and hornbills on course.
13:00 UNDERWATER World LANGKAWI
Enjoy the 200+ marine species, 3D theatre, and the underwater tunnel at Langkawi Underwater World Aquarium. Also, entertaining shows and information make it a must-do when visiting Langkawi Island.
19:00 SHOPPING TIME
For the best shopping deals in Langkawi, look no farther than the town of Kuah, which is a 20-minute drive from Langkawi International Airport. You’ll discover columns of free scent shops, stogie shops, dessert shop shops, wine boutiques, sports shops, retail chains, and retail establishments selling imported items at limited costs.
