5 Days, 4 Nights: An Unforgettable Adventure in Langkawi & Pulau Tuba

Our Langkawi adventure began the night before departure. With excitement buzzing, we piled into a chartered van at KL Gombak LRT Station around 10.30pm, ready for the journey ahead.

Day 1: Langkawi Awaits!

We reached Kuala Perlis Jetty by 6.20am, just in time to catch the ferry to Langkawi. Stepping off the ferry into the warm embrace of a sunny Langkawi morning, a wave of relief washed over us after a quick scramble to board the full ferry. Eja and Alias, our friendly local reps, greeted us and whisked us away for a delicious breakfast of nasi lemak with gulai daging at Kufa Cafe.

Hang Out Urban + Eco

Our home for the night was the conveniently located Hang Out Urban + Eco. After checking in, we delved into a hearty lunch of laksa utara and masak lemak utara at Maklang Selera Bonda Nenda by Ilham Ceramic.

The afternoon was a thrilling adventure at Langkawi Adventure Xtreme Park. We tested our courage on the Sky Bike, conquered the rugged terrain on an ATV ride, put the pedal to the metal on the go-cart track, and honed our aim with archery.

Our day ended with a visit to Langkawi Nature Park. We strolled through the scenic mangrove walk, met the park's resident hyenas, and explored the aviary filled with colorful pigeons, peacocks, and rabbits. After all that exploration, a well-deserved snack of fish and chips refueled us for the evening. 

Feeling pleasantly full, we skipped dinner and headed back to the hotel for a well-deserved rest.

No trip to Langkawi is complete without some shopping, and we indulged in some duty-free chocolates from Warisan in Pantai Cenang. Finally, we settled in for the night at our new haven, Pak Raja Villas.

Day 3: Unveiling Pulau Tuba's Charms

After checking out of Pak Raja Villas, we fueled up with a hearty breakfast of roti canai at Haji Roti Canai before heading to Taman Lagenda Langkawi to pass the time until our boat to Pulau Tuba.

A short and scenic 20-minute boat ride on the Bestuba ferry delivered us to the shores of Pulau Tuba. We started our exploration with a satisfying lunch of local Malay cuisine at Nasi Minyak Kak Timah Che Nor.

We visited Azim's house, where we witnessed the intricate art of mengkuang weaving and were entertained by the Kumpulan Seni Budaya Harapan, a traditional Malay music group.

Day 4: Exploring Pulau Tuba's Hidden Gems

Day four began with another delicious breakfast of Nasi Minyak Kak Timah Che Nor (it was that good!). The highlight of the day was the thrilling Bestuba Buggy Tour. 

We explored fascinating locations like Tanjung Peluru, where we learned about oyster harvesting, visited the buffalo fields, and grabbed some snack at Lekoshow, a local producer of the famous Langkawi keropok lekor.

Our final night on the island was spent at the NOBA Resort. After dinner by the jetty, we participated in the captivating local activity of squid jiggling (mencandat sotong) until midnight - a truly unforgettable experience.

The one that didn't get away.

Day 5: Farewell, Langkawi!

With a heavy heart, we bid farewell to Pulau Tuba and boarded the boat back to Langkawi's main island. Our final breakfast in Langkawi was a delicious meal at Tok Awang Cafe.

Mardi Agritechnology Park

For a dose of science and nature, we visited the Mardi Agritechnology Park. Here, we explored nature trail, fed some fish in the scenic pond, got our adrenaline pumping on the zipline, and capped it all off with a satisfying fruit buffet.

Caffeine fix @ Mawart Coffee & Batik

A quick stop at Tanjung Rhu for some photo ops and a refreshing shower was a perfect way to wash away the travel fatigue. We then indulged in coffee and snacks at Mawart Coffee & Batik, immersing ourselves in the local culture. Before leaving Langkawi, we couldn't resist stocking up on Minyak Gamat, a popular local herbal oil, from a nearby stall.

With a final wave goodbye to Langkawi, we boarded the 7pm ferry back to Kuala Perlis. Upon reaching Kuala Perlis, we hopped on an express bus back to Kuala Lumpur, our hearts brimming with memories of an unforgettable adventure.
