Legoland Malaysia Tour


Our next destination in our Malaysia trip with AirAsia was to Johor Bahru. It is the southernmost city in Malaysia. 

Singapore is only 23 KM from it. One can plan a trip from either Kuala Lumpur or from Singapore. This is a kids' friendly city as there are many things to do here - Legoland Malaysia, Hello Kitty Town, Thomas Town, Angry Birds Activity Park, Little Play Loft etc to name a few. We chose Legoland Malaysia & Thomas Town as we had a short stay. 



Legoland is a chain of Lego-themed children's/family theme parks. There is also a Legoland water park adjacent to Legoland - an added attraction for the kids and adults as well. 







There is a mini city inside the Legoland. It is called Miniland. It has miniatures of famous Monuments and Buildings like Petronas Towers. And they look quite similar to the original ones I must say!




Ninja-go The Ride was the first ever ride in Asia where we use our hand as swords to battle. This is a 4D ride and both the kids and adults would definitely love it. My son had an awesome time here.


There is also a driving school for kids of different age groups and they would be taught how to drive and also about signals. After the learning session they are given their own driving license.



There is a toy train which takes you around the Legoland where you can see the entire place and it is worth waiting in the queue.



It was the Chinese New year when we visited Legoland Malaysia. There were celebrations and dance acts which happened throughout the day. There is a belief that its good luck if one touches the Lion after the Chinese Lion Dance. 




Our family had an amazing time in the Legoland and this is "the place" for kids' entertainment for the whole day. The passes for the same are available online and also at the counter there. The wait time to get the tickets was less for us as we booked them online at below link:

Sunset Cruise in Langkawi by Naam Adventure


On our exclusive trip to Malaysia with AirAsia, we wouldn't have missed the short stay at Langkawi, situated on the northwestern coast. 

The Langkawi islands are a part of the state Kedah, adjacent to Thai border. It's a duty free island. Langkawi Islands were given a World Geopark status by UNESCO.



As Langwaki is surrounded by sea, there are many water based activities to indulge in. One such activity is cruises for people who love morning sun or sunset which includes dinner. We opted for a sunset cruise by Naam Adventure, The Premier Marine Leisure Water Sport Company. Tickets for the same are available online at https://www.naam.bz/


Naam Representative came to our hotel to pick us up in her cab and the ride was very smooth. She dropped us at the Royal Langkawi Yatch Club where we had to board the Cruise. The Cruise started on time as the whole ride was to show the sunset and it's going to take a while to get to the spot in the sea.



Naam Adventure the number one sports company is known for its Punctiliousness. All the guests were boarded with utmost care.

The cruise ship was spotlessly clean and promptly we were served the welcome drinks and snacks. We were allowed to go to any part of the ship following the  safety instructions.




Free Flow of drinks and unlimited buffet food was also a reason considered by many tourists to opt for this one of a kind experience.



One can get an experience of swimming in the middle of the sea. Naam puts a net buoy for safety against jelly fishes.So its absolutely safe as safety jackets were also provided. 

 It was bit cloudy but we could see the sunset which happens in Langkawi at around 7.30pm daily. Nobody is too busy - it's just a matter of priorities. I feel travelling also has to be one such priority.
