Tour Description

Snorkeling allows you to explore the rich underwater world, where you can observe coral reefs and a variety of marine species.

Pulau Payar is a popular island for snorkelling and diving enthusiasts keen on exploring Langkawi’s undersea action. Just 30km south of the main island, it is about 45 minutes away from the Kuah jetty point we take either a catamaran or a speedboat to get here.

Comprising four islands, the largest of which is Pulau Payar, and three smaller isles (Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang) this marine park is spread over two nautical miles. None of these islands are inhabited and are strictly regulated by the Fisheries Department of Kedah to maintain their pristine condition.

Kedah Fisheries Department introduces certain guidelines to help preserve the marine park and only allowing tour operators registered with them to conduct tourism activities in the marine park.

Today's Highlights

The Pulau Payar Marine Park is a popular destination for snorkelling and diving. Deemed as Malaysia’s oldest marine park sanctuary, it is comprised of four islands - Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu, Pulau Segantang, and Pulau Payar, which is the biggest among the four. All the islands are uninhabited and none of them offer any accommodation to visitors.

The wide range of coral reef, including Tubastrea Micrantha and Semi-Precious Antipathes, represents the sanctuary’s uniqueness, with various species of exotic fishes roaming around the area, such as barracudas, clownfish, horse-eyed jacks and black-tipped reef sharks.

One of the top dive sites in Pulau Payar is the Coral Garden, a secluded section of the park that offers the best spot for diving enthusiasts to be in awe with the rich colourful corals and magnificent sea creatures. The park also provides an observation area in the floating platform for those who don’t want to get wet.

Apart from diving and snorkelling, swimming in the calm sheltered waters is also a popular activity. Other unique activity there includes baby shark feeding, which gives visitors a chance to get up close with the adorable creatures. Besides that, the park also offers hiking trails to those who want to enjoy a non-marine activity.
