5 Secret Ways to Find Solitude in Langkawi: Escape the Crowds

Langkawi, with its serene waterfalls, rich wildlife and breathtaking sunsets is tropical paradise where nature’s beauty meets tranquil escape. If you are hoping for a more secluded experience, here are 5 things you can do that will keep you away from the crowds while in Langkawi.

1

Kayak at Rebak Island

Rebak Island is a private island off the coast of Langkawi, known for its serene environment and lavish setting. Paddle through the calm, clear waters around the island, taking in the stunning views of Andaman Sea and the surrounding lush greenery. Explore hidden coves and quiet beaches as you feast your eyes on various species of fish, crabs and even the occasional eagle. You are not required to have any previous kayaking experience as the expert guides at Rebak Island Resort & Marina, Langkawi are determined to provide you with all necessary training and equipment. The resort also presents you with a paddle boat tour as an alternative if you are hoping for a more slow-paced and relaxed experience.

Discover Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls

Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls, also known as the Seven Wells, is one of Langkawi’s most famous natural attractions. Take a refreshing dip into one of the seven interconnected pools as the water cascades upon you. To reach the pools at the top of the waterfall, you will have to hike up a trail that includes 600 steep steps. Take in the views of the lush rainforest on your way up, thriving with tropical plants, butterflies and birds. Although popular, if you visit at the crack of dawn, you will have this beautiful series of waterfalls all to yourself. So, if you are staying at one of the top resorts in Langkawi, do not be tempted by the plush covers of your bed and head straight to Telaga Tujuh before the sun makes an appearance.

Take a Sunset Cruise

Opt for a private or small group sunset cruise around Langkawi’s islands. As you sail through the calm waters, the sky transforms into a canvas of pink, purple and orange hues. The gentle breeze and rhythmic sound of the waves create a peaceful atmosphere, perfect for unwinding. Sip on a cool drink as you watch the sun dip below the horizon, casting a golden glow over the islands.
