We had so much fun we decided to put together an A to Z of things to do there for kids.

Please share this article – it is a great resource that took us days to put together – thanks

We took a dip in the Andaman Sea which was a load of fun; ate the most delightful banquet, ate a gourmet buffet, drank and laughed as we watched the sunset off in the distance, and finished the night with Karaoke singing “We come from a Land Down Under”. Five-star service all the way.

Langkawi is Duty-Free, so make sure you leave plenty of time (and baggage space) to shop.

Watch the seals or penguins being fed, check out the free-roaming birds and animals (away from humans, but not caged), and gaze a the colorful and wide range of aquatic life. Then wander in the garden at the end.

Trees with Rubber? Where Does it Come From? Just because kids are on holidays doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be learning all about the traditions, cultures, geography, and more.  We use a world-schooling approach, so loved it when we stopped to learn about where rubber comes from – thanks to the knowledgeable staff from GC Butler Travel & Events.
