Overview
Embark on a journey to discover the history and beauty of Langkawi.
The tour will begin with a visit to Laman Padi (Rice Garden), one of Langkawi's many attractions. Here visitors can view the oldest economic activity in Malaysia, rice cultivation. You will be able to see the long stretch of paddy fields and herb gardens, plus be given insight into the harvesting and cultivation into the rice production, which is a large percentage of Malaysian export.
Next stop on this tour will be the Craft and Cultural Complex, a major attraction for tourists visiting the island, and is dedicated to Malaysian handicrafts. Visiting here, you will be able to see the many beautiful craft work items, ranging from fabrics and ceramics to metal artifacts, wood artworks, hand made baskets, and costume jewelry. Housed inside this complex there are two galleries - a Heritage museum which showcases a number of handicrafts and musical instruments, and the Wedding Gallery which showcases colorful and traditional wedding outfits worn by the communities of multi-ethnic Malaysia.
The journey will conclude with a visit to Langkawi's most prominent landmark, situated near the Kuah Jetty. Eagle Square's main attraction is the magnificent statue of the reddish brown eagle majestically poised for flight. According to local folklore, Langkawi derived its name from the eagle or "helang." In old Malay, "kawi" denotes reddish brown, hence Langkawi means "reddish-brown eagle".
At the end of your tour you will be returned to the port in plenty of time for your ship's departure, keep an eye out for the monkeys on the side of the road, or the eagles flying above!
