Langkawi Palau
The Langkawi island group, in the western part of Malaysia, is unspoiled and barely inhabited. The local population numbers only 20,000. The natural splendor of the islands will command your attention. The beaches are glorious and there is even a beach composed entirely of black sand - an amazing sight.
Activities
It is no surprise that such a beautiful island would have world class snorkeling and diving. The 50 small islands that surround Langkawi, including Ko Lipe, Ko Adang, and Ko Tarutao, are world famous for their great coral reefs, crystal clear water, and plethora of amazing marine life. It is not at all uncommon for underwater explorers to have frequent run-ins with dolphins, whale sharks, turtles and manta rays. All of this can of course be seen from the surface while snorkeling, if diving is too extreme.
Adventures
The island also offers plenty of opportunities to explore its natural splendor on foot. In fact, some of the most beautiful areas on all of Langkawi are only accessible by foot, or cable. Tree top cable adventures give a whole new perspective on the rainforest.
Currency
The currency used is called the Ringgit Malaysia (RM).
