I went on a trip to Langkawi with my family last month, and it was indeed a really satisfying and relaxing trip. Our last sun and beach trip was at least 7 years back! GOSH! That’s like ages! Bought the flight tickets when Air Asia was on sales :) Thx to AA, now everyone can fly huh.. :P
Me and mom when we landed in Langkawi Airport
We stayed in Berjaya Langkawi Resort, where we’re surrounded by the wildlife, rainforest and most important the perfect beach. I got the room from Agoda.com, and Berjaya upgraded my room to the rainforest chalet, as their room was newly renovated. How nice is that?! :D The room was nicely renovated and has that subtle design that combines both contemporary and the Malay Authentic touch which just perfectly blend in together.
Anyway, there were 4 of us, and unlike 7 years ago, we have all grown to a full adult size, which means my dear little bro had to sleep on the floor… poor thing… but the King size bed fit the 3 ladies just nice.

Pity my sis, the photographer that did not get into this picture... :p

There is another good thing about Berjaya Langkawi Resort is that they provide shuttle services for all the visitors here and they are just one call away :D So whenever we go out from our room, all we need to do was to call the their shuttle service, and in 5 mins time, they will be there at your doorstep.
We had the shuttle driver took this for us :D very nice staff there
Overall the resort was really satisfying. Hope that the photos with the view of the hotel will tell you more :)

Mom and Bro never went to snorkelling before, so i thought its time we went for a snorkel adventure :) We bought a marine park package directly from the Airport counter, we paid RM250 per pax for it and the adventures begins...
We waited for our pick up from our hotel lobby and we were fetched to Kuah Jetty to gather with the others that signed up for the package. We took a boat from Kuah Jetty to Pulau Payar, where the marine park was, which took us about 1 hour + journey. I had to sleep all the way there to avoid any sea sick. But we did manage to capture a few of our exciting looks before we knocked off to slumberland.
Once we reach the Pulau Payar Marine Park, we were each given the snorkelling equipments. My Bro, Mr knows it all, quickly grab the goggles and dip into the icy cold and clear sea :) well... i can understand the excitement, it is his 1st experience.
My mom on the other hand had a hard time to dip in and swim easily with all the fishes swimming around her, but eventually she got used it and really enjoyed the experience too.
Even me and my sis had experience with snorkelling, but we still got quite panic when the bigger fishes swam near us!
Look at all the fishes! Scary!!
The platform was actually quite big
Family portrait :)
Lucky for us that it wasn't raining, Mr Sunshine loved us all!! :D see the white thingy behind me, that is the platform I was mentioning above
Us waving to mom with our gear all up
After the lunch break (where they serve us buffet lunch on the platform... nth fancy, but still acceptable since you will be super hungry after swimming), mom wanted to take some photo on the platform before we head out the other side of the island for some real adventures, where real baby sharks swims around you!
The platform was actually quite big
Mom was freaked out when she found out that the other side of the island was filled with baby sharks and other bigger fishes, so she decided that she will just stay dry and help us with the camera. But we didn't hang out there for long either, after awhile, we head back to our platform and get ready to go back.

Besides of snorkelling, the cable car there is another must go in Langkawi. The cable car journey takes about 20 mins to get to the top. But seriously, it was quite scary, as in it was a very steep ride (almost a 90 degree ascending journey) >.<'''
The view from top was terrific :) and the sky bridges are also quite amazing. It was kinda shaky, as there were quite a number of people there at that time, but it is also very robust, as the bridge has been there for more than a decade now.
After the cable car and sky bridge we went to the Dataran Lang, where the iconic Langkawi Eagle stands there, like its preparing to soar anytime.
We posed some funny poses and really LOL there, and had a lots of fun there. Well i guess now we know where we got our poser gene, and why do we like to take photographs that much. :P It runs in my family gene!! LOL...
As a conclusion, this was a super fun family bonding trip. Really enjoyed it. We should really plan more of these in future! :D
