Hi,
Your itinerary is quite good. Skydome is included in the normal ticket fare of Skycab. Yellow Cafe can get full during the peak time. They won't likely take table reservations. In Kuah you can try out Fish Farm restaurant (if you like seafood). It's in the outskirts. I like Cappuccino House too. You will find details here.

Hi, you can combine the Island hopping, Oriental Village / Cable car on the same day and free up day-3. Start a bit early. On day-3 take the Geopark & Mangroves full day boat tour. On day-4, visit Pulau Payar Marine park for swimming and snorkeling. Spend couple of hours of the evenings at Pantai Cenang beach.

Hi,
On Day2, add Duck Tour (bus & boat vehicle) at Oriental Village (outside the main gate) ... nice tour on road and followed by water tour on Telaga harbor. On day4, you can go for Island Hopping in the first half and do the rest in the second half easily. For your birthday dinner, you may consider The Cliff Restaurant at Pantai Cenang ... wonderful views of the sea from all around.
However alternatively if you can spend a bit more, then walk into Casa Del Mar resort at Pantai Cenang, and dine outside at the Coconut Grooves next to the sand watching the best sunset on Andaman sea.

Dear Raj,
I have, in my this mail, tried to keep in mind your tips. I have read other itineraries and made my own. Seek your suggestions:
We are a couple on our 26th anniversary. We want to have a relaxed holiday. We will be there at Langakawi for thee days reaching on day 1 at around 1030 hrs. And leaving on day 4 at 1200 hrs.
We plan cable car + sky bridge+batik village+ eagle square + shopping on one day. On second day we plan island hopping and snorkeling diving. As recommende by you we we'd like to for Kilimanjaro Geopark n Mangroves tour. So will it be covered in the island hopping? Or we shift snorkeling diving to another day at Palau Payarmarine park ?
Rest we will plan as suggested by you. So await your mail. Thanks and hope you reply my mail.

Hi,
Kilim Geopark is not covered under island hopping. You can do island hopping in the morning and 2/3 hours tour of Kilim Geopark from Kilim jetty in the afternoon. Snorkeling/Diving will take a full day unless you do it through Langkawi Scuba who operates out of Pantai Cenang beach (they have a kiosk) and offers diving at nearby places. This can eliminate the long trip to Pulau Payar, but visibility may be less.

Hi Raj,
I feel that you are doing a stellar job here. This level of detail on any destination I have rarely seen. I will be travelling with my wife to Langkawi on the 25th June. Please find below a first cut plan all from the itineraries that are listed.
Day 1: Reach Langkawi airport at 09:30am.
Hotel Booking (this is pending). I was looking at Pulau Dayang Bunting. Is this feasible or else, should I look at hotels in Kuah or Pentai Cenang. We would be pretty active and we'd be doing early mornings and late nights. So safety and travel would be a consideration as well. Travel: I would love to hire a bike for the entire trip. However directions are not my strong point. How about google maps, street signs, directions from locals?
Pulau Cenang Beach?
Laman Padi
Any More beaches ??
Duty Free Shopping?
Cenang Mall?
Day 2:
Island Hopping?
Underwater World?(We have seen the ones in SG and KL, so is this any different??)
Cable Car Ride?
Kuah (Eagle Square? Ladenla Park)?
Day 3:
Kilim Geopark &?Mangroves Tour?
Air Trekking
Seems light can we add something here ??
Day 4:
Galeria Perdana?
Makam Mahsuri & Air Hangat Village?
Craft Cultural Complex?
Wild Life Park
Day 4 was a mix of events. We are not very sure of the to do's for this day since it was mainly from the many itineraries from your site. Please feel free to change.
Day 5: Flight to SG 8:30 AM
Please feel free to add or cut down on things. We are pretty open minded people and want to squeeze as much fun as we can from this trip :) Thanks for all the good work done :)

Hi, your itinerary is okay. There are no hotels in Dayang Bunting. Stay at Pantai Cenang or Tengah if you like beaches. You can follow GPS, locals on the way will also guide but language can be a problem... most speak only Malay. Get hold of a good map from the airport (visit the Tourist Information Center).
On day-1, you can add Tanjung Rhu beach located at the northern end of the island - lovely, and on your way back visit Shark Bay beach, and opposite to that the Craft Complex and Faizy Crystals.
A proper Kilim Geopark tour can take almost a full day. On day-3 you can add night jungle safari to see nocturnal animals in the forest in flash lights.
On day-4 take out Craft Complex (already done on day1), and add Pantai Kok Beach, Telaga Harbor/Perdana Quay to have your lunch by the harbor side and do some shopping.

Hi, your itinerary looks good. For dinner, you can try 7 Roof Restaurant (Chinese Seafood) which is in Padang Matsirat and not far from your hotel. For Batik, visit Atma Alam Batik Village located close to your hotel.

Hi, if you plan your scuba dive in Pulau Payar Marine Park, then it'll take a whole day and you can not plan island hopping on the same day. But if you scuba dive from Pantai Cenang, then it's possible. Rest is okay.

Day 2 Monday: plan to go for cable car ride and duck tour, and visit kuah town and eagle square, black bay beach in evening for sunset, any additional activity suggestion?

On day2, after a short visit at the Black Bay Beach, move to nearby Shark Bay Beach and watch the sun set. Actually sunset is better watched from the western coast like Cenang or Tengah beaches. Opposite to Shark Bay Beach is Complex Craft and Faizy Crystal (glass blowing studio) that you can visit before returning. Rest of your itinerary and sequence is good.

Hi,
On 16th you can either go for snorkeling at Pulau Payar marine park (it's a full day tour from Kuah) or Kilim Geo Park. You need to select one out of the two. On 17th, you can easily go for Island Hopping in the morning and then visit Underwater World if you so wish.

So on the 15th, reached airport at 11AM and straight to SkyCab - Telaga Harbor Park sounds good? I will be staying at tubotel, Cenang. How could I get the tour of snorkeling at Pulau Payar marine park (it's a full day tour from Kuah) or Kilim Geo Park?? Which one would you recommend for this two? How could i get the taxi water/tour to bring me around for island hopping? Thank you so much for replying Raj.
Janet Ceng (July 2015)

Yes, you can take a cab and go straight to Skycab from the airport. Hotels usually allow check ins only at 2pm. I like Geopark over Marine Park, because of lot more variations and it's after all a UNESCO world heritage site. Book your Kilim geopark & mangroves tour through travel desk of Malibest Resort ... they are the best and also quite reasonably priced. There are numerous operators in Cenang for Island Hopping tour. You can't miss them. You can also take a cab in the morning and go down to Porto Malai jetty at Pantai Tengah (5 minutes from Cenang) and take a group or private boat for island hopping.
