Early morning start for Andy and his last run along the coastline of Langkawi back to The Westin hotel. After breakfast and a few hours at the pool, briefly interrupted by clouds and the threat of rain, we headed down to the Langkawi yacht club for our late afternoon sunset cruise.

The cruise is aptly called the Happy sunset, so its smiles all the way.

Fortunately for us there were only 8 guests on the boat so we had loads of space to sit and drink in the views.

As an acknowledgment of the ‘happy’ cruise we were greeted with Hawaiian styled leis.

In no time we were off out of the harbour and into the larger bay, with a first stop at Eagle Square for some photo opportunities, before navigating our way around the numerous smaller islands.

Due to sea erosion, there are over 100 islands that make up the archipelago that is Langkawi and we sailed past a good 20 or so, within the first couple of hours of the cruise.

With the sun beating down and the water close at hand, we decided to ‘dive’ into the sea jacuzzi…..

We really enjoyed the ‘jacuzzi’ although it was brought to an abrupt end when Andy spotted what he thought was a shark’s fin circling around the net, without alarming anyone we made our way back to the boat….only to be told once we were out that the fin wasn’t a shark but a friendly dolphin!!

Before we knew it, the sun had set and it was almost 8pm and we headed back to the marina and waved a goodbye to the Happy cruise boat.

Well that’s the end of our stay in the lovely island of Langkawi and tomorrow we head south back to KL, on a short 1hr flight before taking a further international flight back north to Bangkok and the start of the Thailand chapter of our journey.

We’ve really loved our stay in Malaysia and have found the people to be so kind and welcoming, we will definitely return for further adventures in the future!
