1. Scuba diving or snorkelling at PulauPayar Marine Park

Just 30km off Langkawi island, PulauPayar Marine Park is the spot to go if you’re looking for scuba diving trips! To get there, you can take a catamaran or a speedboat from Kuah jetty. Famous for the Coral Garden where colourful coral adorns the seafloor and teeming with marine life, you will enjoy both the scuba diving and snorkelling experience. Be sure not to touch any marine life and do not feed them to protect this pristine habitat and ecology.

6. Trek and sweat to TelagaTujuh waterfalls
