packagei includes snorkeling, lunch, etc.
is it worth to snorkel?

hi all: im a noob looking for some answers

planning to go to langkawi from 26-31 dec 2010

just want a relaxing and quiet holiday...

can anyone recommend any beach that are quiet and relax plus a place to stay that right smack infront of the beach.... thanks

So many are smack in front of the beach. You going at the busiest time of the year!Better book early if they are not already booked. You didn't mention budget but the best will be The Datai,The Andaman.Four Seasons(where Shah Rukh Khan did shooting in Don) Nice beach and villa isn't it?

Then comes Berjaya Beach and Mutiara Burau Bay.Going further down Pelangi,Holiday Villa,Federal Lodge,Langkawi Lagoon(this ones has chalets over the sea like Avillon in PD) and also Westin which is in town near the Jetty.

Others are the non star motels like Malibest, Charlie's place,AB Motel,Langkapuri etc.etc.Check them through Langkawi Gazette.com.

Which restaurant is cheap and nice? Recommend me pls

Just back from Langkawi Nad had a great trip. Would recommend you guys contact Ronnie from Langkawi Holidays at ronnie@langkawiholidays.com.my.
Really great and funny guy. Has a great team and can offer anything..well almost with reasonable pricings. Ask him for great tips. You will be surprized.

anyone stayed in aseania before?

is it possible to drive into langkawi? can we bring our car by ferry? how much the charges?

Yes it's possible and someone did that b4 (Need to search somewhere in this thread). Worth if you stay more than a week or more in langkawi. The whole process of bringing in might be as long as 2 days and cost ~ RM100+/ way. Not via normal ferry for sure but by a separate cargo barge or ship.

You can't drive your car into Langkawi but you can bring it over via transport company. A lot of hassles though. You have to drive your car to Kuala Kedah and leave the car with the transport company like Lim Thye Kiang, Pertiwi or Lada transport or something. They will prepare the custom's documentation. You will collect your car in Tg.Lembung jetty in Langkawi only the next day or sometimes another day later. When you want to send the car out back to mainland, the reverse is done. The charges is definately more than you rent a car if you are using it for a few days. Last I heard it was RM200 one way.

One more thing, The car is only insured up to their maximum cargo liabilities. Your insurance do not cover if the poontoon or barge sinks,LOL. Else you have to buy separate insurance coverage. During the 90s, 2 Peugeot 405s sunk and they only get paid RM400, ha,ha,ha as their maximum liability is RM200 per item.

Isn't it nice when the Star Cruise ferry was operating.It can carry more than 100 cars and takes only 2 hours to reach Langkawi from Butterworth and vice versa. They dock at Awana Porto Malai in Langkawi. I tried it once and it cost RM700 for return trip. The ferry was sold off for a profit and it was not feasible for the Butterworth - Langkawi route.

thanks for the info.. really appreciate it
guess better park the car at the jetty and rent at the island.

Is it better to book hotels on promotion right now or wait till next year to book as my trip will be on June 2011? *yeah it's a school holidays*

How much does a inflated budget Viva cost during that season anyways?

Anyone to recommend any snorkeling tour?
i surfed the web and every agent is offering at least rm190 per person for snorkeling package, that is very expensive.
but, i've read a guy's blog.
he and his friends went to snorkel for just rm90 per person.
he says that the agent is at somewhere near KFC.
any idea? =]

RM190 per pax for snorkeling package, i think u can add somemore and go for redang snorkeling package dy.....

I see, thanks lelongkidd.
snorkeling at langkawi or redang better? =]

no comment in dis,.... for me, redang is very nice for snorkeling.. but i havent visit langkawi yet,,,, so, no comment in dis...

by de way, my trip to langkawi is 12-15 november
i heard from a tour agency tat island hoping package didnt include singa besar, as its closed from public.

so, actually i got a package with RM35 per pax for 10 of us, include dayang bunting and beras basah. i plan of include in another mangrove tour.if time allow.

by de way, anyone can recommend where to rent car? we will be arriving in kuah town by ferry.

oh i see
mind share with me other interesting places to go?
cause im going 3 days 2 nights only, but cant figure where to go

If you only want to just snorkel, definately Redang better lorr. But it a different case worr. Redang don't have duty free liquor and cigarettes also cannot buy pots and pans, don't have much other places to visit and not much seafood to eat. Anyway snorkelling in Pulau Payar is also OK. Other activities Langkawi is not so boring because you can do so much other activities.

agreed with etigge. lots of things to do in langkawi. so, i'm thinking even my 4D3N also not enough.

It is very much depend on a person how adventures, exploring and thinking. If a person can't even think what to do at there with such a short time, is a very dull person. (boring person)

The longest day I holiday in langkawi is 10days there. And I can't finish explore the island. Cause I using lazy holiday mode.

I can stay at perhentian island for 6days which is more remote and smaller than redang. It is so relax there. Just feel like the world is slow down.
