(PRWEB) July 21, 2005 -- The honeymoon paradise island of Langkawi in
Malaysia is recognized by travel insiders as one of the world’s great nature
destinations with million year old rainforest, spectacular ancient mountains,
and stunning wildlife including hornbills, monitor lizards, monkeys and rare
species including the colugo.
The island boasts a modern cable car, a
leading international Regatta, a top world bicycle race and a brand new Four
Seasons resort that seems certain to become Asia’s premiere honeymoon
spot.
The exciting news is that Langkawi visitors have just gained access
to the nearby Tarutao National park in Thailand which looks like the paradise
used for those dreamy Bounty Bar commercials with azure seas, white sand beaches
and more. Tarutao is normally only accessible by small boats from Satun Island
for six months each year, but a new ferry service from Langkawi will make this
marine paradise available to Langkawi visitors year round.
The islands of
Ko Lipe, Ko Adang, Ko Tarutao and 50 more that comprise the Tarutao National
park in Thailand are know to divers around the world as a dream destination that
is difficult to access. They offer kilometers of colorful coral, white powder
sand beaches, dozens of world class scuba diving sites and high concentrations
of amazing underwater life including dolphins, whale sharks, manta, migrating
whales, turtles and more.
This fabulous world class marine playground is
now available year round to visitors to Langkawi due to a new ferry service
opening 8 June 2005. The ferry service has been made possible through the
cooperation of the Thai and Malaysian governments and the opening of a Thai
Consulate in Langkawi last month.
Daytrips to the national park from
Langkawi will operate three days a week and more frequently during peak season.
The daytrips include the one-hour ferry trip, island hopping by speedboat,
snorkel gear and a buffet lunch with refreshments.
Special trips include
scuba diving trips with 2 dives, game fishing trips (catch & return), and a
guided ecotour to explore the island’s corals and forests with a trained
naturalist.
