Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Langkawi—the jewel of Kedah—is an archipelago of 99 tropical islands surrounded by azure waters. It is one of the top travel destinations in the world and for good reasons, too. The island is rich in natural bounties and cultural heritage; peppered with historical sites that are well-preserved and numerous attractions that would have you feeling rueful for only allocating a few days to fully explore the island.
Prepare to be transported back in time as you listen and learn about Langkawi’s countless folklore and enthralling legends.
Your first stop will be at Atma Alam, a place where you get to observe the meticulous process of traditional batik printing. Watch as the medley of art and culture is reflected through wax and dyes; giving the piece of cloth life. Go ahead and take the opportunity to purchase some hand-drawn silk and local cloth handicraft to commemorate your visit.

Next, we will proceed to Cenang Street. Along of Cenang Street you can have a walk at beachside, do some duty free shopping and you can find Underwater World which is one of the largest marine and fresh water aquaria in South East Asia.
