Langkawi’s karst landscape records millions of years of coral uplift and erosion; the area was designated part of the Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark to recognize that heritage.
Conservation
Boat operators are increasingly regulated to limit disturbance in sensitive mangrove channels; avoid single-use plastics and follow guide instructions to reduce your footprint.
