Welcome
Langkawi comprises a group of 99 tropical islands
lying off the northwestern coast of Peninsular
Malaysia, about 30 km from Kuala Perlis and 51
km from Kuala Kedah on the mainland. The main
island is known as Pulau Langkawi. The islands
are shrouded with an intriguing heritage of myths
and legends that feature ogres and gigantic
birds, warriors and fairy princesses, battles and
romance.
As a natural paradise, the islands are perhaps
unmatched anywhere else in Southeast Asia.
Fine beaches offer sun-filled days of complete
relaxation. The clear emerald waters around the
islands are perfect for a host of water sports and
recreational activities. The enchanting marine life
beneath the waters of Langkawi beckons diving
enthusiasts.
Langkawi has been accorded the Geopark status
by UNESCO, for its beautiful geological heritage
of stunning landscapes, karsts, caves, sea-arches,
stacks, glacial dropstones and fossils. With a
geological history dating back 500 million odd
years, the islands contain unique rock formations
that stir the imagination and baffle the mind.
Langkawi is perfect for doing everything or
nothing at all. Enjoy nature-based activities,
or simply laze by the beach. There is also a

Your First Stop
KUAH
Kuah is located on the southeastern tip of
Langkawi and is the island’s main town with Kuah
Jetty being the take-off point to the n
­ eighbouring
islands. The name Kuah is a Malay word ­meaning
‘gravy’, referring to an ancient folklore of two
battling giants who overturned a gigantic pot
of curry at the spot where the town ­now stands.
Once a rustic town with a few streets, present-day
Kuah is a thriving centre of hotels and shoppingcum-business complexes, fortunately ­w ithout
the din of ­modern-day cities. Kuah offers a wide
variety of ­ duty-free goods such as tobacco,
liquor, ­cosmetics and ­electrical items at ­highlyattractive prices.
EAGLE SQUARE or Dataran Lang is Langkawi’s
most prominent landmark for ­visitors arriving via
the sea. Situated near the Kuah Jetty, the main
attraction of the square is the magnificent s­ tatue
of the reddish brown eagle majestically poised
for flight. According to local ­folklore, Langkawi
derived its name from the eagle or helang. In
old Malay, kawi denotes reddish brown, hence
Langkawi means ­‘reddish brown eagle’.
The square is beautifully ­landscaped and
features ­scenic ponds, bridges, ­covered ­terraces,
restaurants and barrel vaults made of bricks. The
square is b
­ eautifully i­lluminated at night and
­presents a ­dramatic scene as you approach the
island from the sea.

Nature’s
Best in
Langkawi
PULAU PAYAR MARINE PARK is situated in the
northern part of the Straits of Malacca, 19 nautical
miles south of Langkawi and encompasses the
islands of Pulau Payar, Pulau Lembu, Pulau Segantang
and Pulau Kaca. The marine park teems with a
fascinating diversity of marine life and vegetation.
Pulau Payar is the most ­popular of the islands as its
sheltered waters are ideal for snorkelling, diving and
­swimming. Among the enchanting dive spots is the
Coral Garden, an area c­ overed with bright, ­­multihued soft corals.
Visitors can get to Pulau Payar from Kuah Jetty
by catamaran or ­s peedboat. The catamaran takes
about 45 m
­ inutes to get to Pulau Payar while the
speedboat takes about an hour. It is advisable to
book the ­catamaran service a day before the trip.
An entry fee to the marine park is chargeable. For
further information on the Pulau Payar Marine Park,
kindly contact Unit Taman Laut Negeri Kedah (Kedah
State Marine Park Unit) at 604 733 9086.

SOUTHEAST ASIA’S FIRST
GEOPARK
Langkawi, which has the distinction of being the
first geopark in Malaysia and in the region, has
many geosites with outstanding sights for visitors.
There are three geoforest parks in Langkawi - the
Mat Chincang Cambrian is reputed to be the
oldest geological formation in the country. At the
Kilim Karst, one can view magnificently-formed
landscapes from nearly vertical to subrounded
karstic hills as well as pinnacles ofvarious shapes
and sizes. The Dayang Bunting Geoforest Park
boasts fine marbles.
LAKE OF THE PREGNANT MAIDEN or
Tasik Dayang Bunting, with its uniquely-coined
name, is sure to enthrall you with its beautiful
sur­roundings and mysterious past. The name of
Langkawi’s largest freshwater lake is ­attributed to
the legend of a lovely fairy princess who married
an earthly prince. Her first child died shortly
after birth. She was so sad and depressed that
she buried the child in the ­crystal clear waters
of the lake.
Before she returned to her celestial abode, she
blessed the waters so that any childless maiden
who bathed in the lake would c­ onceive t­ hereafter.
To reach the lake one has to get to the Island of
the Pregnant Maiden first and then take a short
walk through the ­forest reserve.

SUNGAI KILIM offers some truly unforgettable
sights and experiences for ­adventurous travellers
to Langkawi. A tour that is bound to provide
­plenty of thrills is the boat cruise to Kilim Nature
Park, an escapade to another world. Spread over
an area of 100 square kilometres, Kilim Nature
Park ­features a beautiful mix of well-protected
green ­mangrove forests, isolated white beaches
and blue lagoons.
On the trail, along the calm winding river, you
will be exposed to the w
­ onders of the park’s
marine ecosystem and flora and fauna like the
overhanging Bogak Trees, Brown Eagles, Tree
Crabs, iguanas and macaques. Enjoy the scenic
and spectacular view of unique limestone rock
­formations emerging from the floor of the
mangrove swamps and the sea.
These fascinating geological wonders have been
dubbed the Temple of Borobodur, the Elephant
Stone and the Hanging Gardens.
THE HOLE IN THE WALL FISH FARM is a
10-minute boat ride from the Kilim river jetty. Try
your hand at feeding the tame stingrays at the fish
farm. Located in the Kilim mangrove area, which
covers about 1,309 hectares, the stingrays are fed
half a kg of fish daily.
14
DURIAN PERANGIN WATERFALLS is
suitable for picnics, a relaxing dip and recreation.
This 14-tier ­waterfall, north from Kuah, is truly a
sight to behold and is a­ ccessible after a short trek
through the rainforest.
TEMURUN WATERFALL
Located within the Mat Chincang Nature Park near
Datai Bay, the Temurun Waterfall is Langkawi’s
tallest waterfall. This seasonal waterfall is best
visited during the monsoon season (September
– October) as the water would be reduced to a
mere trickle during the dry season. A refreshing
respite from the hot and humid weather, this
waterfall is clearly visible from the road.
SEVEN WELLS or Telaga Tujuh, located in the
northwestern corner of Langkawi, is a geological
­ arvel. The waterfall is so named because the
m
­cascading waters are broken by a series of seven
natural pools. The lush green forest that ­surrounds
the waterfall adds a mystical touch to the ­natural
splendour. Legend has it that fairies used to come
down to the waterfall to bathe and frolic.
CAVES in Langkawi worth exploring include Gua
Cherita which is easily accessible and situated
only 30 minutes by boat from Tanjung Rhu.
Inside are interesting rock formations steeped
in fabled tales of mystery and romance. Look out
for ancient inscriptions onthe walls.
Another interesting cave is Gua Kelawar nestled
in the heart of a mangrove forest. A wooden
platform allows visitors easy access through the
cave. Gua Pasir Dagang, about 45 minutes by
boat from Kuah, has a shallow stream running
right through the cave. The boat journey to the
cave itself is an adventure of sorts. Guides can be
engaged for cave expeditions.
