Langkawi Islands Langkawi isn’t just one big island, but consists of a group of 99 islands. While most are uninhabited, a few have been designated for tourism development so that visitors from all over the world can admire and appreciate the magical beauty of Langkawi. The name Langkawi is a combination of "Lang" and "Kawi". "Lang" comes from the Malay word helang which means eagle. The land is a home to innumerable eagles. "Kawi" is Sanskrit for marble, which is found in excess in this part of Malaysia. Both words are joined to form the word "Helangkawi" which ultimately became Langkawi. Langkawi Island has been given a World Geopark status by UNESCO. . SERVICES & RECOMMENDATIONS : 1. ACCOMODATION Depending on the preferences of the visitors, we will suggest the type of accomodation from the many hotels and resorts available in Langkawi; it's location, services and charges. Correspondingly, we will arrange for bookings and confirmation under the name of the visitors concerned. 2. DINING Especially for first time visitors to Malaysia, their trip is not complete without them savouring  local delicacies and finding the right place offering authentic dishes. We will provide the suggestions and perhaps take them on a trip of discovery. 3. SIGHTSEEING As a personal driver and guide, we will take the visitors around the major attractions but most importantly around the off beaten tracks checking out the lifestyle of the islanders perhaps if there's an opportunity to attend village weddings and gatherings and if the visitors are game enough to go out and experience life as a local fisherman. 4.
