So, what can be done on the island to lipa.
Explore the western part of the island
In recent years, many of the trees who once covered the eastern to lipe were hardened and occupied by the ever-growing number of concrete structures. Fortunately, Western Lipe is still mainly intact. This part offers wild beaches and jungle - for those who want, yet, merge with nature.
After you pass past the last hotels, there will be no signs and pointers, but, however, there is quite easy to wander among the trees - look for the creation of dark gray boulders scattered down the slope. Rear to them and admire the species!
However, this part is already surrounded by barbed wire, so I will be very surprised if these stones are left alone on the nearest even a couple of years. We go further to the West, where the concrete turns slowly into the land - it is possible to reach a completely empty and wild beach overlooking the south of Langkawi.
It is a pity that there is no suitable cliff for jumping, but just swimming here! We will continue to travel under huge trees - looking at them, I do not want to believe that the eastern part of the lipo is a reality.
At one point, the track ends - we will have literally crawling through the jungle, clearing the path. It is very difficult to pass to the most western rocks, but this is a very useful and pleasant walk like a two-hour walk - you can imagine how the island of about 10 years ago.
Diving
Diving is a huge article of the economy on the lime, and at least 10 offices offer from one-time dives before receiving the PADI certificate. In a high season from the island, boats will start daily, which are sent to places with the most beautiful underwater world - Eight Mile Rock and Stonehenge, for example. To more distant sites, such as Hin Daeng and Ko Haa, can be reached within the daytime excursions offered by Forra Diving. Before proceeding with dives, compare prices and reviews in all Diving companies of the island. But I will list the company with a good reputation that are offered simple day trips with dives (and not only, of course):

Strengthen snorkeling
You can buy an excursion with snorkeling and other boat tours can be almost everywhere on the lime, and to rent a boat only for yourself, contact your hotel employees. Most rounds are used long-tailed boats, accommodating up to 12 people - for swimming goes to the numerous islands of Adang Archipelago. Although corals around Lipe are mostly monochrome (the result of increasing the temperature of the sea), somewhere you can meet soft corals and very impressive pieces of tropical fish - including fish clowns, anemones and skates - especially, off the coast of Islets to Bul and Co. Meadow. The nearest stretch for snorkeling, known as Jabang, can boast of soft corals that have grown on a 16-meter underwater hill, which almost relates to the surface. However, due to the large number of snorkers and divers in the peak season, it is sometimes very difficult to fully appreciate sea landscapes.
Some tours include up to five stops for swimming, but more often than two landings on land - as a rule, on a mysterious smooth pebble beach King Hin Ngam and a white sandy beach on Adagge, to Ravi or to Dong (there are tourists in dinner) . Other tours, on the contrary, offer two stops for snorkeling, but they give time for hiking along the neighboring islands.
The tour with the farthest following is to the island of Khai, the tiny island of a sistile stone arch, grown over a stunning beauty to a coral sandy beach. Another option, which, as a rule, is not advertised, to the Kinnari waterfall, whose water is a cascade flowing down the rock on the east coast to Addanga. By the way, with these rocks, you can even jump into the water!
During the reservation of such snorcling tours through the hotel, no one will give you a bargain for a discount. But it is more reliable because, most likely, boat drivers will be in a right mind, sober and reliable. If that, some boatmen are hard drinking people who can even bring in a bottle with a label of spruce whiskey - nothing terrible if you decide to cancel the trip at the last minute due to the drunkenness of the boatman. Private boatmen always pay at the end of the trip.
You can do snorkeling "without departing from the cash register", in several places off the coast of the lime. Unfortunately, many of the same reckless boats mentioned above drive their boats too close to the shore, not counting on scuba diving lovers who can swim from the mask at that time. They probably think that these snorkels must follow boats, and not vice versa. Tubes and masks can be rented in many resorts and travel agencies about 200 baht per day.
Kayaking
Kayaki can be rented on all beaches (except wild, naturally) - such pleasure costs about 200 baht per hour and 400-500 baht for a whole day. Kayaks with a glass bottom are also popular, but their rental is much larger. If you are podnaping, you can swim on the kayak to the island to Adang, and those who want to save forces can leisurely to spread to the islands of Kra and Kra and Kosta, tiny twin placas at the coast of Sunrise Beach.
Walk around the island
We are not talking about the uninhabited western part of the island. We are talking about the developed eastern part. Well, today is the island clearly in shock! Every year it changes surprisingly quickly, and if you come every year, you will not recognize it every time. You can walk on foot. You can on the Moto taxi. And at sea, and on land, motorized movement - everywhere on the lipa. It's amazing that there are so many motorcycles on the island - after all, you can get around in 15 minutes! The roads are currently expanded, released a place for pickups and heavy cranes required for construction. Those who decide to walk on foot, have to constantly monitor any bike (the picture is about the same as in the coastal waters, where the boatmen were completely crazy).
