29 Nov 2025 – ARRIVE IN LANGKAWI!

You’ll most probably arrive conveniently into Langkawi International Airport before checking into your hotel in which is located close to the Kuar Jetty. If you arrive early enough, hopefully you will have time to explore the delights of this beautiful tropical island which has some of the most famous beaches in Asia. There will be a briefing in the evening and, for those who want to join, a group outing to a local restaurant for dinner.

LANGKAWI TO SATUN - APPROX 75KM You’ll take an early breakfast in the hotel which will set you up nicely for the nearby 8am short ferry ride to the smallest and northernmost Malaysian state of Perlis. You’re off! An exceptional morning of exploring rural Malaysia’s very best awaits you – you’ll see the country’s sleepy backroads and vibrant greens – from the rice fields to the palm trees, the banana groves and the grassy verges. You’ll take lunch on the banks of beautiful and remote Tasoh Lake which is only a few kilometres from the Thai border. You will have a glorious coast down the other side and the recommended hotel is a very relaxing place with plenty of activities, including a mini gocart track!

Hit the road!

You’ll wake up near the stunning beach with a great deal of satisfaction at the adventure that you have just completed.

Surely you’ll first reward yourself with a dip in the turquoise sea!
