| Consisting of the main island of Pulau Payar, and the smaller islands of Pulau Kaca, Pulau Lembu and Pulau Segantang, Payar Marine Park is a fisheries protected area. It shows diverse marine marine invertebrates and 45 genera of fish. When the sea is calm and the visibility is good the 'Coral Garden' is a spectacular sight. |

| Attractions |
This well-preserved, uninhabited marine
park extends over a number of islands, with
Pulau Payar being the largest. Your base
out here is the floating platform moored off
Pulau Payar. But the real attraction of this
platform lies below sea level.
Step into the underwater observation
chamber to view the marine life
surrounding a reef. Want to get even closer
to the swirl of fishes that make these corals
their home? Grab a mask, a snorkel and
fins and join the spectacle!
Are you into scuba diving? The best diving
is along the reef system that skirts the
south, east and west of Pulau Payar.
Please check with your dive operator what
the visibility is like during that time. It can
vary from time to time.
There is no accommodation in Pulau Payar
as it is a marine park, but that's not really
an issue since Langkawi, with all its fine
resorts and restaurants, is just a quick
boat-ride away.

| Spa Village Cameron Highlands Set in an emerald landscape of lush farmland and verdant jungle, Cameron Highlands finds its name and culture in the unique blending of two distinctly dissimilar societies: The Orang Asli or 'original people', who were the first settlers of the highlands and the Colonial British pioneers. |
