Famed for its intriguing legends and myths, Langkawi teems with tales of princesses, ogres, gigantic birds, heroic warriors, epic ancient battles, love and romance. The duty free paradise of Langkawi offers everything from pristine white sandy beaches to 5 star hotels, majestic views of mist-covered mountains, lush jungle with monkeys swinging through the treetops, monitor lizards sunning themselves down to magnificent golf courses- just a brief introduction of this island.

Important geosites include Teluk Datai , Pantai Tengkorak, Tanjung Buta/Pulau Jemuruk and Tanjung Sabung.

Malaysia Nature Exploration

There's a chance to see and do something different-something beyond the normal tourist sight and pursuits. Experience the tranquility of being one with nature in all it's glory. The owesome splendour of virgin rainforest, beneath the cool shady canopy of trees hundred years old, one come realise the "conservation" is not a mere concept but a way of life-that " bio-diversity " is here to stay.

Malaysia's forest are indisputably the oldest in the world and its National Parks are treasure troves of its rich natural heritage. The various species of flora and fauna found within its realms can be describes in superlatives. It is with a view to preserving this invaluable natural heritage for posterity that the National Parks were established, some as early as the first half of this century.

The seas surrounding some of islands abound with a variety of fascinating marine treasure-rare, beautiful and extremely delicate. In order to prevent these extremely fragile marine ecosystems from destruction, areas supporting rich and exotic marine life have been gazetted as Marine Parks. The delicate corals, colorful fishes and turtles in danger of extinction are thus assured of safe haven within these parks.
