Posted on March 30, 2015 by Auburn Silver

Langkawi the Jewel of Kedah, popularly known as the island of Langkawi in Malaysia, is a well known holiday destination for locals and tourists alike. Langkawi meaning the island of the reddish-brown eagle boasts of an interesting history, for even though it is presently a popular tourist destination, prior to the development of this reputation, the island was believed to be cursed. However, at present, such rumours and beliefs scarcely deter the throngs of visitors that make their way to its beautiful shores. Given this attraction, a number of resorts have opened on the island and those looking for a luxurious option can opt for The Westin Langkawi Resort & Spa. From such resorts, the Machincang Cambrian Geoforest Park, the Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park and the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park which, cumulatively have been given the status of a World Geopark by UNESCO.

In addition to exploring these lush forests, water sports in Langkawi are also worth experiencing. When in Langkawi, tourists can readily find the more well known water sports such as kayaking, parasailing, wake boarding and riding in a banana boat. These sports coupled with the exquisite natural surrounds of this Malaysian island provide an excellent backdrop for recuperating after a particularly gruelling year of work.

Such natural beauty also makes jet skiing in Langkawi an excellent choice and a number of companies even offer tourists with the option of choosing from a number of Jet Ski Tours. One such popular tour called the Dayang Bunting Island Tour, takes tourists to eight small islands in the vicinity and lasts about four hours, thus giving them the opportunity to truly witness the panoramic beauty of the isles. Another tour provides tourists with the opportunity to mingle with the locals and dine in the villages. For around four hours, tourists can zip along the coastal belt and be treated to some glorious meals.

This is only one such way to experience the glorious splendour of Langkawi and one wonders whether it is even possible to discover all that the island has to offer in one short holiday.
