What else can you not do if you happen to be in a place notable for its beach scenes? The first thing to consider on your bucket list is definitely to spend some recreational time at the beach nearby. Whichever activity you choose to pursue- having fun with the inflatable balls, playing dragon balls, building sandcastles, picnicking with friends and families, strolling around, reading, or just lying on the sand for the sunbathing- a mini-retreat at the beach will be a quality choice to enhance your holiday experience.
Some beach areas nearby that you may visit in Pantai Tengah include Pantai Cenang, Pantai Tengah Beach, and Dataran Cenang.
Island Hopping Tours

Next to the beach, island hopping is another activity people usually like to do when they are in the archipelago area. As Langkawi itself consists of 99 islands of Malacca Straits and Pantai Tengah is surrounded by some as well, an ocean crossing with a series of adventures between islands would be fun!
Rating from RM88 onwards, this activity is being defined as the most popular go-to in Langkawi. You’d be surprised that Pantai Tengah is the place where boats depart for roundabout tours. Most of the common islands that visitors would drop by during the island hopping are Pulau Dayang Bunting, Pulau Beras Basah, and Pulau Singa Besar.
It’s recommended that tourists should seek guidance from the agencies for island hopping tours. In Langkawi, especially the Pantai Tengah area, there are a few of them available. For instance, Langkawi by Hotels.com, Amazing Langkawi, Mega Water Sports, Tripcarte.Asia, Langkawi Escape Travel, and more are the groups that you could approach when taking island hopping activity.
Hiking and Jungle Trekking

If you are looking for some adrenaline rush apart from the marine activities, hiking and jungle trekking would be next on your list! Although hiking is something that we could do almost everywhere, that includes our neighbourhood, it’s still not a boring itinerary to be considered when you are travelling on the islands such as those in Langkawi.
As Langkawi consists of rainforests with tall trees and animals. Not only is such natural exploration in Langkawi good for your natural exposure, but it also contributes to a healthy mood for fellow travellers, which is the ultimate goal we’re looking for when venturing into nature-oriented places like these. Among all, Bukit Peranak, Gunning Raya, Gunung Mat Cincang, Temurun Waterfall, and Seven Wells Waterfall are the popular places for hiking and jungle trekking in Langkawi.
