8-13
Langkawi
Beach
On day 8 you'll enjoy a short, 25-minute flight to the stunning island paradise of Langkawi, taking in the incredible aerial scenery on the way – be sure you have your camera handy! For the grown-ups, there’s white sands, tropical palms, and clear waters and for the kids, well – there’s the same! Whether you want to sunbathe or build a sandcastle, Langkawi offers a safe, beautiful place to enjoy it.

Enjoy a boat trip to the Kilim Nature Park to experience an untouched mix of well-protected green mangrove forests, isolated white beaches, and blue lagoons. Cruise down the calm, winding river and keep your eyes peeled for some of the more unusual inhabitants of the park's marine ecosystem - Brown Eagles, Tree Crabs, Monitor Lizards, and Macaques. The rest of your time on Langkawi is free to spend how you wish, whether it’s relaxing with a book on the beautiful crescent-shaped sandy beach or experiencing on of the many attractions this stunning archipelago offers. We’d recommend a walk in the fresh breeze across the Langkawi Sky Bridge for exceptional views of mountains and waterfalls, or if you have little ones whose feet aren’t quite up to it, there’s a cable car that offers views that are just as spectacular.

On day 13 it’s time to head home and while you probably won’t want to leave, you’ll be doing so relaxed, happy and eager to visit this wonderful country again.
