Detailed itinerary

Stop 1
Your English speaking guide cum driver welcomes you at your resort along selected beaches on Langkawi at around 09:00 hrs. This tour starts with a visit to the Batik Art Village.

Stop 2
After admiring some of the ready-made materials, we continue to the Mahsuri Tomb, dedicated to an icon in Langkawi’s history. Details about this and the intricate history of the Princess Mahsuri and how she has contributed to the development of Langkawi are explained at this well-maintained centre and burial place.
3
A unique phenomenon that has formed along the coastline is a stretch called Black Sand Beach: as the name implies, dark sands form a different type of beach scene yet adds to the variety where Langkawi is well-known for. The nearby fishing jetty is an authentic example of how fishing boats moored along Langkawi’s coast line to load off their fresh haul before making it back onto the open ocean.
