Located within the 3,237-hectare (8,000-acre) Gunung Mat Chincang forest reserve, east of the Andaman Sea, the Golf Club Datai Bay is 40 minutes from the Resort and offers 18 challenging holes. There is also a 19th hole – a par-3 signature hole across the bay – that can be played as an alternative to the 17th hole. Also featured is a 9-hole putting course with bunkers and hazards to test any golfer's putting skills. Fairways feature Bermuda grass, while impeccably maintained greens are turfed in TifDwarf. Covering varied terrain, the course combines tricky uphill and downhill lies, undulating fairways and fast greens in a jungle setting for the ultimate golf experience.

Our naturalist will point out various mammals, birds and reptiles in their natural setting while explaining how the ecosystem works. You will have the opportunity to leave the boat to visit the fish farm and Crocodile Cave. Light clothing and casual footwear are recommended. Please note that the feeding of wild animals is not permitted.

A boat will take you into the estuary to the kayak launching point. Our naturalist will guide you into tributaries surrounded by mangrove forests and introduce you to the sights and sounds of Langkawi's natural environment.
- Coastal kayaking – From the Resort's beach, a boat will take you on the open sea to the eastern rim of Langkawi, where you will begin your kayaking experience, accompanied by our naturalist. Discover Langkawi's natural karst lake, a salt-water lake connected to the sea through a 15-metre (49-foot) cave tunnel. Marvel at the beauty of the clear blue water, mangrove forest and spectacular limestone hill. The adventure continues with a dip in the lake for a refreshing swim, and ends at the mouth of the Kisap River.
