A GUIDE TO NATURE AT THE DATAI<br />

Langkawi, Malaysia (7 th January 2011) ‐ Langkawi is a mystical island<br />

of jungle‐covered mountains, lakes, caves and waterfalls, swathed<br />

with legends of romance and mystery. Located on the northwestern<br />

tip of the island, <strong>The</strong> <strong>Datai</strong> Langkawi is surrounded by centuries‐old<br />

virgin rainforest with its entire natural flora and fauna abound.<br />

As part of the hotel’s contribution to the environment and its ecosurrounding,<br />

<strong>The</strong> <strong>Datai</strong> Langkawi offers morning and evening nature<br />

walks to resident guests in an effort to educate guests of the flora and<br />

fauna surrounding the hotel and island. This easy walk which takes<br />

about one and half hours from the hotel lobby is provided almost<br />

daily on complimentary basis by a team of resident naturalists.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rainforest surrounding <strong>The</strong> <strong>Datai</strong> is home to a rich variety of flora<br />

and fauna. Within this unique habitat, a fragile world of interdependence has evolved. Our resident<br />

naturalist will guide guests on a morning walk as he unfolds the secrets of the forest. Morning<br />

nature walk is available daily except Mondays at 8.00 am.<br />

<strong>The</strong> mystery of the unseen and unknown can hardly be greater than at<br />

night in virgin tropical rainforest. No forest journey can be judged<br />

completely without an experience by night. <strong>The</strong> forest around <strong>The</strong><br />

<strong>Datai</strong> is home to monkeys, hornbills, frogs, owls, cicadas, crickets and<br />

also flyer squirrels. For rainforest by night experience, our resident<br />

naturalist also offers evening walks every Tuesday, Thursday and<br />

Saturday at 7.00pm.<br />

Leader of resident naturalists, Irshad Mobarak, who is a native of<br />

Langkawi considers himself as a conservationist first. ”I pass the<br />

message of nature in an educational and fun way. It’s great to see the<br />

reaction people get from understanding nature,” he states.<br />

For those who wish to be more adventurous, the resort also offers more nature activities such as the<br />

mangrove tour – an amazing boat ride tour to the forgotten forest between land and sea, jungle<br />

trekking – several jungle trails around the hotel are available for those that are keen on hiking and<br />

for different fitness levels, hiking for families with small children, bird watching, biking and many<br />

more. <strong>The</strong> <strong>Datai</strong> provides mountain bikes and non‐motorized water sports equipment such as sea<br />

kayaks, boogie boards, windsurfing and snorkeling gear for resident guests to use also on<br />

complimentary basis.<br />
