As Langkawi is an island and its surrounded with sea, fishing is great activities to be done. Many agents are offering fishing trips openly to any angler or groups that wanted to fulfill their time by doing fishing.
Another way of fishing is by doing it with a local fisherman. I do have an uncle in Langkawi who is a fulltime fisherman. His boat is not a big one that can only catered for 2 to 3 person per trip. He has many secret fishing ground all over Langkawi and its surrounding. His boat is being placed at Sungai Kisap.
You may look at my travelogue to know more about
my fishing trip with my uncle. If you are not an angler, at least by viewing this travelogue, you may view some beautiful natural scenery during my trip with him.
Contact me if you are interested so that I may ask my uncle's permission to bring you for a day fishing and learn how the local Langkawi fisherman performs their routine tasks. Theme: Fishing TripsAddress: Sg. Kisap, LangkawiPhone: 012-6230441

My personal schedule to visit Langkawi is minimum by twice per year. And at any one time, i will spend a least a week there because few of my family members live there. I won't miss the fishing activity of course.
There are few areas in Langkawi to fish without renting a boat whereby you may fish just along the shore or beaches. In Kuah town itself, there is a river by the name of Sungai Kuah. At night you may fish here during the high tide for fish like barramuddi.
Another spot will be at the Pantai Kok. You may fish at the spot nearby the entrance of the marina and lighthouse or nearby the rocky structure for variety of coral fishes especially medium size grouper. Ensure you pick the right timing for fishing here so you won't get disappointed.
Another way is to walk along the wave barrier (you can see it if you reach langkawi by flight, area is nearby to the airport). You may walk along it (the lenght is more than a kilometre) and fish. Good quality fish such as mangrove jack and snappers can be caught here.
As if you intend to have an experience fishing with local fisherman, you may contact me so i can arrange it with my uncle who is a local fisherman there. Good experience indeed because you may follow him for 3 days atsea, see the traditional ways of fishing & squid catch, snorkeling in private places and of course do you own fishing.
For beach / shore fishing, long medium rods for long distance throwing is recommended. Bait in form of 'seaworm' or local call it 'umpun-umpun' can be bought in 2 places (1 in a tackle shop at Kuah and 1 in a tackle shop at Padang Matsirat ) Theme: Fishing TripsPhone: 0126230441

Grab your free maps from the airport and try to discover all the waterfalls in the region if you have the time.
Remember your suntan lotion and wear gd hiking shoes. The waterfall areas can be dangerous and slippery with mossy green algae. Leave a Comment Theme: Hiking

Arranged my dive trip with EastMarines at Royal Langkawi Yacht Club.
A two tank dive cost me about RM220.
The staff were very friendly, professional and re-assuring. Leave a Comment

LIMA started in 1991 and since then it has become an important event held in Langkawi. The most recent LIMA was hosted in 2005. Participations comes many countries inc. USA and even Russia. Lots of military gadgets being displayed here where the Aerospace Exhibition is near the Langkawi International Airport and the Maritime is being shown at Porto Malai. This exhibition is not meant only for military gadgets, planes or ships but also showing commercial purposes gadgets related to Aerospace & Maritime.
I had the opportunity to visit LIMA for a few times since my first visit in 1993. And the most interesting moment about this show is watching the airshows inc. the Red Arrows from UK and we can even buy lots of military related badges from the soldiers/officers themself.
It is an event not to be missed. If you are planning visit this exhibition, I suggest arrangement should be made earlier to avoid fullhouse booking on hotel and flight.
1) Binocular
2) Digital Camera & Video
3) 'Ray Ban' / Sunglases
4) Mineral water for sure.... Theme: OtherAddress: Langkawi International Airport & Port of MalaiPhone: 0126230441

I went diving for a day in Langkawi but it was a bit disappointing. No photos I'm afraid as my digital camera had gone wrong. The location was Pulau Payar Marine Park situated in the northern part of the Straits of Malacca, 19 nautical miles south of Langkawi and which encompasses the islands of Pulau Payar, Pulau Lembu, Pulau Segantang and Pulau Kaca.
Considering its location, and the fact that just a little further north in Thailand there is a some great diving, the diving here did not meet expectations. That will teach me to have expectations in the first place!
The first dive was on an artificial reef that looked quite new. The Goodyear Reef, as its name implies, is just a load of tyres that have been sunk for corals to grow on. The coral growth has started but has a way to go yet before the tyres are covered. I saw some large box fish and some carpet-patterned wrasse or groupers among other stuff.
Probably the highlight of the day was lunch. This was on the small island of Pulau Payar where shark feeding on the beach is a daily ritual. Food is taking into the shallows where several small, blacktip reef sharks come in to feed.
The second dive was at Pulau Kaca. This was a real reef at least. I saw pipefish, tuna, barracuda, boxfish and a blue-spotted stingray.
An entry fee of RM5.00 for adults and RM2.50 for children is charged for admission into the marine park which will normally be included in the price of your diving package.
The advertised price for the trip, including transfers and lunch, was 220 Ringgits but I was given a discount of 40 Ringgits straight away without asking. They are so desperate for business after the bombing that everything is on offer.
Equipment was provided but it was awful. This was the first time I had not been 'measured up' before the trip for gear. I arrived at the dive site where they looked me up and down and handed over the necessary equipment. It was adequate but I can't say any more than that. Foolishly I did not take my own mask and the one they gave me leaked like hell. It rather spoils the dive when you are clearing your mask every 3 minutes. Leave a Comment

If you have several in your group this is a fun thing to do.
It is rather expensive though. Leave a Comment Theme: Boating/Sailing

The one thing that really disappointed me about Langkawi was that the visibility in the water is so poor. I'm not overly keen on scuba diving, but I do love to snorkel, but there wasn't any point in even trying here. You just couldn't see anything. This is definitly not the place to come if that's what you want to do! Leave a Comment Theme: Scuba Diving
