Legend of Langkawi Island

Off the coast of Kedah is a cluster of 99 islands offering the best of many worlds: beautiful beaches, world- class infrastructure, mangroves rich in flora and fauna, ultra- cheap duty-free shopping and fascinating legends.
Langkawi has a lingering legend woven into its history. Ask anyone on the island about the tragic story of a beautiful young lady named Mahsuri, and you'll hear a tale of love, jealousy and a curse that was placed upon the island by her for seven generations.
Today, the seventh generation of Langkawi's inhabitants has long come and gone, but people here still believe that the prosperity and blessings the islands enjoy today and the passing of the curse is no mere coincidence. The mysticism of this legend can be felt in many parts of this island, especially at Makam Mahsuri (Mahsuri's Mausoleum), where Mahsuri is said to be buried.
Despite what looks like a slant towards tourism, many of the islanders are actually farmers, fishermen and entrepreneurs. Experience the beautiful countryside and peaceful landscape of paddy fields by renting a car and taking a leisurely drive around the island. Some of Langkawi's most rustic and memorable views are along the road that circles the island.
You'll pass small villages with wooden houses framed by palm trees, and children pedalling their old bicycles on errands. Aside from experiencing the local lifestyle, there is no shortage of things to do in Langkawi. Head up the thrilling new cable car to the summit of Mount Mat Cincang - Langkawi's second highest mountain - for an unrivalled view of the entire main island and beyond.
Other popular destinations are the Field of Burnt Rice, Hot Springs, Telaga Tujuh (The Seven Wells) and the Beach of Black Sand. Boat tours are organised to Tasik Dayang Bunting (Lake of the Pregnant Maiden), Gua Cerita (Cave of Stories) and Gua Langsir (Curtain Cave).
For a more intimate time with nature, go trekking through the pristine rainforest that covers most of Langkawi, or go on a boat tour of the mangroves. There are also opportunities to go for a dive, or play a round of golf at some of the 5-star resorts. Langkawi also has an underwater world, with an underground tunnel that runs through a giant aquarium, which has received rave reviews. 



















This is the Makam Mahsuri that located at the Mahsuri's Tomb.


There have four manmade lakes that located in "Legenda Langkawi dalam Taman" at Kuah. A narrow strip of beach and walking trails make it a popular spot for local joggers.

Kuah has a large concentration of duty-free stores; these supermarket-style outlets stock in-demand items ranging from cigarettes, liquor and chocolates to luggage, sports shoes, perfume and cooking utensils.The malls are popular among locals, but boutique stores such as those along Cenang’s strip offer good taxfree bargains as well.

The Most Popular Activities To Explore Langkawi Island

LANGKAWI SKYBRIDGE TOUR


     The Langkawi Skybridge Tour takes you on a cable car ride to the top of Gunung Matchincang. As the gondola-style cab makes its way to the top you can get a bird’s eye view of legendary Langkawi as well as numerous outlying islands in the distance; Oriental Village, the home of the cable car, is a great place to visit. The mini town – situated at the base of the geo-park’s mountain range – has more than a few attractions; the tour continues on past Telaga Tujuh – also known as the Seven Wells waterfalls – before heading on over to the Taman Buaya Langkawi – the Langkawi Crocodile Farm – where you can watch keepers wrestling with these leathery beasts.
         After that, soak up the sun at ‘Pantai Pasir Hitam’ – known as Black Sand Beach; this shoreline is distinctive due to its almost opaque black sand. End your day with a relaxing visit to the Langkawi Wildlife Park set amidst a natural rainforest and featuring an exotic array of Langkawi’s furry and feathered friends.




The Langkawi Sky Bridge is located at the ‘end’ of the Cable Car ride. One of the island’s highlights, it is a 410ft-long curved pedestrian bridge above Mount Mat Cinchang.


The entrance for the Langkawi cable-car, which takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak,  is located in The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok.



Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls is billed as the island’s most wonderful natural attraction. Set on Langkawi’s western headlands, its name means Seven Wells Waterfalls, referring to a series of seven connected natural pools fed by seven separate waterfalls in Mount Mat Cincang. 


Langkawi Crocodile Farm houses one of the largest numbers of crocodile and alligator species gathered together in the world. Also known as Taman Buaya Langkawi, the Langkawi Crocodile Farm is spread across 20 acres and situated near Datai Bay, just 32km north of Kuah.



Pantai Pasir Hitam also called The Black Sand Beach is located 2km to the west of Pantai Tanjung Rhu Beach, placed in the center of Langkawi's north coast and about 19 kilometer from Kuah. There are many tales and legends attached to this beach as it is with other places in Langkawi.




About ten minutes from Kuah, the complex is also known as the Taman Burung Langkawi or Langkawi Wildlife Park. The 10,000sqm complex has over 1,500 birds that fly freely, with sections that strongly resemble the natural habitats of each different species of birdlife.









LANGKAWI PULAU PAYAR MARINE PARK EXCURSION


         The Pulau Payar Marine Park is a collection of four, emerald-green islands, comprising of Pulau Payar – the largest – Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang, spanning across two nautical miles of blue sea. The park is Langkawi’s preferred diving and snorkelling expedition spot; inland is a mass of foliage that is bordered by the teal waters and a curvature of white-sand beach. The two-kilometre-long park’s main draws are the miniature coastline and the diving platform; weather conditions are usually sunny, making it easy to see the tropical undersea action without even having to go snorkelling.
        The Pulau Payar Marine Park Excursion is a seven-hour trip that takes you to the marine park so you can spend time with the abundant and colourful tropical marine life. The water is the best amongst Langkawi’s 99 islands for scuba diving and snorkelling. The pleasant white beaches are also the perfect retreat for those who want to escape the more popular white-sand beaches of Pantai Cenang & Pantai Tengah. Besides diving, you can spend your time swimming in the clear warm seas or sunbathing on the secluded virgin sands.
























Pulau Payar Marine Park is a popular site for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts keen on exploring Langkawi’s undersea action. Just 30km south of the main island, it is about 45 minutes away from the Kuah jetty point then can take either a catamaran or a speedboat to get here. One of Pulau Payar Marine Park’s best features is its Coral Garden, a secluded section of the ‘park’ with colourful coral beautifully protected and preserved due to its sheltered waters.







One of the most know island of Langkawi is the Pulau Beras Basah (The Isaland of Wet Rice) is located at the west end of Langkawi. Pulau Beras Basah is famous for its beautiful white sandy beaches with crystal clear blue waters and the rich mystifying forest with magnificent mountains in the background. It also offer interesting activities too, including para sailing, snorkeling, banana boat ride swimming or just bathe and  relax under the sun.






LANGKAWI SUNSET DINNER CRUISE


          One of our most popular cruises. We started this sunset cruise back in 1989 and it’s still as popular now as it was back then. You will get a magnificent Langkawi sunset which you won't forget! A salt water Jacuzzi that's out of this world. You will find a friendly captain and crew with tip top service. A sumptuous 19-course BBQ dinner and salad bar on board. An open bar with great service and free flow of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks. You will discover great photo opportunities to capture beautiful sunsets, flying fish, eagles and even dolphins!





Langkawi Sunset Cruise is a mid-afternoon daytrip that takes you sailing on the Andaman Sea as you kick back and relax on board a yacht. The cruise takes you within almost-touching distance of some of Langkawi’s deserted islets – unique limestone outcrops and exotic marine life are part and parcel of the voyage.








LANGKAWI EAGLE-FEEDING & MANGROVE ACTIVITIES


       One of the most popular activities around the Langkawi island is the Eagle Feeding & Mangrove Activities that takes you to the Kilim Nature Park, sure to be a remarkable ride. The excursion is a relaxing journey that takes you from the mouth of the river to the open sea and back again to the river shores. The sprawling 100 square kilometre park features a beautiful melange of protected green mangrove forests, isolated white beaches and blue lagoons.
         Start out with a boat cruise down the serene and snaking river; study the park's aquatic ecosystem, its ecology and natural populace such as the overhanging 'bogak’ trees, brahminy kites, tree crabs, monitor lizards and macaques. You’ll also get the chance to marvel at the unique limestone rock formations emerging from the floor of the mangrove swamp and seabed. Later, visit Gua Kelawar, a cave steeped in well-known tales of mystery and romance with your tour guide recounting its legends. The tour ends with a visit to a specialised fish farm in the open sea.


The eagle feeding all started with a boat-trip to the Kilim mangrove area at the northest tip of Langkawi. Within minutes, we will saw the eagle. Lots of them, 20 to 30 sea-eaglea circling the beautiful sky.The Klim mangrove area has been home of eagles (Brahminy Kite Eagle and White Belied Sea Eagle) for the past 40 years.






The Mangrove activities can lead us to learn about its ecology, medicinal plants, migratory birds, and role in nursing juvenile marine life.





Have an adventurous ride from the Sungai Kilim Jetty to visit the Gua Kelawar- the Bat Cave, in the core of the mangrove forest. The bat cave comprises of two cave systems where the second cave is bigger covering around 750 sq. meters of the total area. Hundreds of bats hanging onto the ceiling.There is a wooden pathway leading the cave for a convenient access to visitors.
