The Datai @ Langkawi Island, Day 2/3
A free activity, Rainforest Awakening is a morning tour of the hotel's grounds. The tour begins at the lotus pond next to the lobby. Home to two species of frogs, the hotel introduced Toman fish into the pond to control the frog population.
Participants also saw two hundred year old Keruing and Meranti trees in the car park, and the nests of the island's state bird , the Braminy Kite.
The Datai makes an effort to recycle it's waste water and vegetable waste into compost and grow some of its herbs in its Permaculture garden.
Lunch at the hotel's Beach Club Restaurant
Spotted a troop of dusky langurs (recognisable by their eye patches) lounging by the poolside of the hotel.
