Hostel in Langkawi<\/h2>\n

Zackry guesthouse is a nice and clean guesthouse\/ hostel in Langkawi<\/a>. The Zackry hostel is clean and safe. The owner is really nice and helpful. For example she has a car and when she has to go to the local market (30 min ride) you can join her for free. She is a traveler as well and try the best for you. She helps with the cheapest and best options to go around Malaysia. From the hostel to the beach is a 5 minute walk where you can beautiful sunsets in the evening. Close to the Zackry guesthouse is a minimart and some restaurants. My favorite restaurant is Melayu. It looks fancy and expensive but isn\u2019t. The food is delicious!<\/p>\n

What to do in Langkawi<\/h2>\n

You can do several tours in Langkawi from cycling in the forest, jungle trek to island hopping and mangrove kayaking. Rent a motorbike (they have a lot of police checkpoints when I was there so make sure you\u2019ve a license) See the waterfalls. I liked the local market, a lot of cheap street food I bought my dinner and breakfast there. did a half day tour of island hopping. Thats nice and costs 35RM. They pick you up from the hostel and you see some islands and see eagle feeding place.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
