5 Things To Do in Langkawi’s Mangrove Eco Tour
The last time we went to Langkawi, we spent quite a number of days there relaxing and spending quality times together. One of the memorable things we did is the Langkawi mangrove tour. The mangrove tour can be arranged with the hotel lobby, in the airport or the local tours.
The tour took almost ½ day of our schedule. The van picked us up and sent us to the jetty. We were then transferred to the long tail boat or long “sampan”.
The price …

Berjaya Redang Resort Review, Redang Island, Terengganu, MALAYSIA
It is one of the best resorts in Redang, no doubt about it. I’m talking about the Berjaya Redang Resort. Redang Island is one of my favourite destinations in the region apart from Bali and Phuket. I had been going there almost in yearly basis.

Pulau Dayang Bunting Marble Geopark, Langkawi, MALAYSIA
A few tourists asked me about Langkawi during our (Rachel and I) way back from Cambodia. It seems to be Langkawi is very popular with the European and the North American tourists. They seems to have a lot of interest and knowledge in Langkawi and Penang, maybe Tourism Malaysia did they part well there. Langkawi now, is very much different than it used to be.

Berjaya Air, 6 Hours Flight Delay Experience in Redang
It could be an amazing experience of Berjaya Redang Resort after a two nights stay there. However, the excitement turned ugly when we got told that our flight delayed to 4.30pm through our friends. Then it got delayed again until 7 pm. Well let me explain how it happened.

My previous trip to Langkawi really changed my perception towards the island. It really changed so much over the past decade. From a duty free island to now a more adventurous and fun island. The island hopping tour we paid, brought to this beautiful Beras Basah Island.
A direct translation of Beras Basah means wet rice. It’s one of the popular destination in Langkawi island. And example of Beras Basah Island or Pulau Beras Basah by Tourism Malaysia.

*Written by Rachel Ting*

Our package includes snorkeling trips to Redang Marine Park with the additional fee of RM 5 (US$ 1.8) only.
The island is well maintained, crowded by tourist but it was very clean. We were advised to snorkel around the island and it was indeed one of the best snorkeling site we’ve …
