    I had the opportunity to dive with Langkawi Scuba and was happy I did. From initial contact asking for a refresher and a fun dive, to a couple attempts at diving, I could not have asked for a better experience—except for the visibility. The visibility is the only drawback; however, they are very open and honest about this. I had 2 dives canceled for visibility. The first we went out and they sent an instructor down to check vis/current at multiple locations before canceling. The next day was canceled as to not waste anyone’s time and money. (Very much appreciated) Their instructors have eagle eyes and can spot the smallest of seahorses, frog fish, clownfish, etc. This is the lowest visibility I have yet to complete a dive in (I’m new, only 26 dives). The dive shop is amazing, the instructors are very professional, positive, and great for your confidence as a new(er) diver. I would absolutely dive with them again and hope I get to soon. I had new gear I was trying out and the way I was treated was like we were all old friends. (Also very much appreciated). If you’re in Langkawi and want to dive, I highly recommend Langkawi Scuba.

    My boyfriend and I went diving together with the scuba club langkawi . Everyone was very helpful, I took the open water licence with Fila. An amazing teacher who I recommend to everyone, she put me at ease and was very careful to keep me calm during all 3 days of diving. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to try it, the natural park is amazing and all the crew were very friendly and helpful.

    Parasailing. Excellent parasailing experience. The staff made everything operate well and they made it easy for my mother, who is 75, to enjoy the experience as well. We were lucky with the weather....it was supposed to be a rainy morning but we got mostly sunshine. I recommend paying for the GOPRO to really capture your experience......our footage turned out great!

    First dive was in Payar Coral Garden. The wave was crazy. My dive instructor Q did a good job by guiding me exploring the dive site while teaching me at the same time. Really enjoyed the dive session throughout. Great experience 👍

    a good intro diving experience for first time divers like myself. my instructor (i don’t know his name, tall guy who also did our briefing) was so nice and helpful. although it was my first time, he stayed out of my field of view and let me explore without interrupting but stayed close to me at all times and pointed out interesting sealife for me to see. during the briefing, he was encouraging and patient with my husband who has aquaphobia, who also had a different instructor that he was very pleased with. About halfway through the dive, my breathing felt uncomfortable and he pulled me up but encouraged me to try again, even though he could have stopped there and have less work to do. If it wasn’t for my instructor, I’d be very disappointed with the overall experience, as the food wasn’t great and at the start one of the staff tried to charge us 120RM saying it was a leftover balance... I caught him out and they laughed it off. The fried chicken, chips and rice was cold.
    the instructor i had is an asset to the company, and if i knew his name would only recommend him to friends looking to dive. i visited on Monday 16/03/20 with my husband.

    We were very rookie and we told them that we needed a lot of help. They got a dive master just for both of us, who guided us attemptively through the entire dives.

    It is very adviceable diving with them, top score for us.

    The tour guides were very hard to understand and gave very little information to us.
    They forgot to pick us up from the hotel so not a great start. The "ferry" had no aircon for most of the trip.
    The boat from the ferry to shore is packed with as many people as they can fit and to be honest appears to be a safety hazard.
    THE COMPANY DO NOT PROVIDE SUN BLOCK.
    We accidentally left our sunblock on the ferry (which stayed a bit off shore the entire trip) and asked if they had any spare. The staff replied "no we dont provide it. you are already burnt so it doesnt matter".
    I left with severe burns all up my arms and legs - so bad I couldn't walk and soon turned into blisters.
    The food was edible but not great..
    Coral was dead however the fish were beautiful. Thanks to another guest on the trip we were able to find Clownfish which was awesome! (Look for bluey/purple "balls" with brown "grass" coming out. Hover over for a wee bit and you'll see them!)
    Overall the experience was average..

    I booked a half day tour and school holiday package that include island hopping and mangrove tour with this company. They arrange with very good tour operator for school holiday package and bring us around the island for four hours with very nice and knowledgeable staff.
    Will book again with them for next trip.

    We availed of a full day Pulau Payar Marine Park and half-day city tour at Ekomegah Holidays Tour with the help of our hotel in Langkawi, Hotel Bahagia. The itinerary was seamless. From the hotel pick-up and drop-off up to the tour itself, it was efficient and effortless. We got to swim with blacktip reef sharks and enjoyed basking in the sun at the marine park and we had our own private car with driver for the city tour (there are no public transportation in Langkawi Island). Overall, we had great time and the staff are very welcoming and friendly.
