A to Z of Top Things To Do For Kids In

Langkawi, Malaysia

We’ve just returned from the most fabulous week in Langkawi – which is a tiny island off the coast of Malaysia.

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

A – Art at the 3D Art Museum

In the same complex you can visit the Art 3D Museum; ride the world’s steepest cable car called Langkawi SkyCab to the mountaintop; walk the suspension Skybridge for a panoramic view of the island; and visit the 6D CineMotion.

Hours of fun with illusion art, and interactive art pieces. Great for .selfies’.

C – Cruising at Sunset

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.

 D – Duty-Free Shopping

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

We experienced some of the best services in the world at an amazing little store when needing accessories for our Action Camera.  Prices were fabulous, and the service unbeatable.

E – Eagle Icon of Langkawi

No trip to Langkawi is complete without a trip to Eagle Square. Hang off the giant letters, or visit it at sunset for some great photographs.

F – Feeding Time at Underwater World

There is so much to see and do in this one building.

It is divided into three sections – Tropical Rainforest, Temperate, and Sub-Antarctic.

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.

G – Gather some Luck

When visiting Laman Padi, there is also a huge patch of 4 leaf clovers – my son had a ball collecting them.

Accommodation in traditional stilt housing is also available at this property and worth investigating.

So why not get some awesome takeaway and hang out in your Resort or Hotel.

I – Ice-Cream Eating

Every kid loves ice-cream. We found 2 favorite places – The Cliff at sunset, and a new one by Eagle Square called Cawan Kopitiam. Here we also were served by the famous coffee painter of Langkawi named Amanda who thrilled Explorason with her stories.

…………………………………………………………………………………… 

J – Jet Ski Island Hopping

Jet ski tour visiting up to eight islands including Lake of Pregnant Maiden, Eagle Watching, and Beras Basah Island, and maneuvering through caves. This was one of Explorason’s favorites.

Nothing beats the fun of a good time out on the ocean on a luxury cruiser, a fabulous meal, a few drinks and everyone singing Karaoke on a cruise. A great way to make new friends.

L – Live The Luxury Life

We so enjoyed the second part of our stay at the luxury retreat Ambong-Ambong. Set amongst lush rainforest, this little piece of hidden paradise is fun.

Monkeys swing down in troops through the trees morning and evening, and the staff even chauffeur you up to your apartment.

Fabulous service and stunning apartments which come with the option for breakfast in your room (fridge and microwave included), or dine at the restaurant.  A market-fresh traditional breakfast is an awesome option offered too.

M – Mangroves and Monkeys

Motor Boat through the Mangroves to Kilim Karst Geoforest Park and part way through you can bring feed the monkeys (if bring food). Very up close and personal. It is however preferred the monkeys do not become dependent on humans for food.

Q – Questions

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.

R – Rice Padi Planting and Dining

Kids (and adults) can ‘get down and get dirty’ while learning about rice and have fun planting in a rice paddy at Laman Padi. Learn all about the history of rice and rice farming at the Rice Museum.

Mum can enjoy a body or foot massage while the kids have fun and learn.

But wait – there is more!  You just have to eat at the restaurant over the rice paddies at Laman Padi.  Loads of fun, relaxing, and fabulous Malaysian food.

S – Snorkelling

No island holiday is complete for Explorason unless he is out investigating the marine life snorkeling. With or without me, this boy is like a fish to water.

T – Touching a Shark!

To my surprise, Explorason was not at all scared and drew a bit of a crowd.  He touched a puffy fish, a shark, and I fed a stingray.

U – UNESCO endorsed Geopark

A photographers dream. Eagles fly overhead waiting to be fed, mangroves cane explored, bat caves, and even catch a fish at one of the local seafood restaurants.  All this and more.

W – Walks on The Beach in the Morning

Take time to walk along the lovely smooth white beaches. We stayed a little out of the tourist area and enjoyed a very quiet walk on the beach, apart from the morning fishermen.

We even collected a few shells. Love my morning walks!
