Langkawi

All Terrain Vehicle

This archipelago of 104 islands is a paradise for geologists, environmentalists, historians and anyone who likes to explore the magic of the past. Located 30 kilometers off Perlis and 112 kilometers north of Penang, Langkawi offers one of the world’s rarest natural wonders, a testament of how the world evolved hundreds of million years ago, from Cambrian to Permian period.

Trekking along Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park will bring you back to 550 million years ago, before Pangea was formed. Captivating mangrove forest around Kilim Karst Geoforest Park displays the evolution of life some 400 million years ago.

Langkawi Explorer is proud to be your partner in exploring spectacular landscapes and breathtaking beaches in this fascinating journey to the past.

Langkawi is one of the top tourist spot in Malaysia. Historic mountain ranges, idyllic beaches and spectacular geosites, make it a perfect tourist destination for locals and foreigners.

We are here to assist you in planning your holiday, with wide range of action-packed packages, to ensure you’ll have the most memorable stay.

Langkawi has many interesting places to explore. We offer wide range of tracks, from easy to extreme, to cater for everyone needs.

Interesting views from the top of the mountain, spectacular varieties of rock formations, from tropical karst limestones, mudstones to massive sandstones, all which showcase a complete history of the Palezoic era.

The Machinchang Range which offers challenging upright peaks, formed from boulder-shaped sandstones, is the only remnants of the Cambrian era in Southeast Asia.

Kilim Karst Geopark offers hills with panoramic view that were formed between 300-400 million years ago.

Spectacular rock formations in Tanjung Rhu are heaven for Rock Climbers, where climbing to Gorilla Peak will be the most exciting and thrilling experience for the brave ones.

Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving across water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle. A kayak is a low-to-the-water, canoe-like boat in which the paddler sits facing forward, legs in front, using a double-bladed paddle to pull front-to-back on one side and then the other in rotation. Most kayaks have closed decks, although sit-on-top and inflatable kayaks are growing in popularity as well.

Kayaks were created thousands of years ago by the Inuit, formerly known as Eskimos, of the northern Arctic regions. They used driftwood and sometimes the skeleton of whale, to construct the frame of the kayak, and animal skin, particularly seal skin was used to create the body. The main purpose for creating the kayak, which literally translates to “hunter’s boat” was for hunting and fishing. The kayak’s stealth capabilities, allowed for the hunter to sneak up behind animals on the shoreline, and successfully catch their prey. By the mid-1800s the kayak became increasingly popular and the Europeans became interested. German and French men began kayaking for sport. In 1931, a man named Adolf Anderle became the first person to kayak down the Salzachofen Gorge, this is where the birthplace of modern-day white-water kayaking is believed to have begun. Kayak races were introduced in the Berlin Olympic Games in 1936.

In the 1950s fiberglass kayaks were developed and commonly used, until 1980s when polyethylene plastic kayaks came about. Kayaking progressed as a fringe sport in the U.S. until the 1970s, when it became a mainstream popular sport. Now, more than 10 white water kayaking events are featured in the Olympics.While kayaking represents a key international watersport, few academic studies have been conducted on the role kayaking plays in the lives and activities of the public .

Kilim Geoforest Park is one of the three geoforest parks associated with the Langkawi Geopark. The other two are the Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park and The Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park.

Much of the rocks of Kilim is made up of the Setul Formation, the oldest carbonate rock in the region formed 490-370 million years ago.

With such a geological history, combines with breathtaking landscapes, Kilim Geoforest Park has become an important geosite that attracts hundreds of thousands of tourists per year.

Among the remarkable features found here are the pristine mangrove and limestone forests, dramatic karstic landscapes and landform and colourful cultures.

You can choose different ways to explore. By boat, kayak or jetski.

Parasailing is the recreational and competitive adventure sport of flying paragliders: lightweight, free-flying, foot-launched glider aircraft with no rigid primary structure. The pilot sits in a harness suspended below a fabric wing comprising a large number of interconnected baffled cells. Wing shape is maintained by the suspension lines, the pressure of air entering vents in the front of the wing, and the aerodynamic forces of the air flowing over the outside.

Despite not using an engine, paraglider flights can last many hours and cover many hundreds of kilometers, though flights of one to two hours and covering some tens of kilometers are more the norm. By skillful exploitation of sources of lift, the pilot may gain height, often climbing to altitudes of a few thousand meters.

A climbing peak may refer to a mountain or hill peak or a rock formation that has to be ascended by climbing. The term is common in Germany where it is specifically used of free-standing rock formations in the climbing regions of Saxon Switzerland, Zittau Mountains and other nearby ranges in the German Central Uplands that can only be summitted via climbing routes of at least grade I on the UIAA scale or by jumping from nearby rocks or massifs. As a general rule, they must have a topographic prominence of at least 10 metres to qualify. In Saxon Switzerland the Saxon Climbing Regulations do not require any minimum height, but define climbing peaks as

Another requirement is its recognition by the responsible sub-committee of the Saxon Climbers’ Federation (SBB) and the responsible conservation authorities. For hikers these authorized summits may often be recognised by the presence of a summit register and abseiling anchor points.

In other climbing areas, such as those in Bohemian Switzerland, there are other exceptions. There, climbing peaks only need to have a significant rock face – the lowest side of which has to be less than 10 m high, but at least 6 m high.

Langkawi’s landscape is basically rocks that were created hundreds of millions of years ago. Erosion and corrosion have created various structures and structures.
The limestone mountains and hills around Kilim Karst Geoforest Park create a unique scene that is not found anywhere else in Southeast Asia.
