Itinerary

Our expedition begins in the enchanting archipelago of Langkawi, renowned for its stunning landscapes, exotic wildlife, and rich cultural heritage. On day one, we'll gather at our accommodation for a comprehensive briefing, where we'll outline the itinerary, review your equipment, and set the stage for an incredible adventure.
Prepare to dive into the untouched wilderness in the northwest of the island. As you traverse epic mountains and dense jungles, you'll learn invaluable jungle survival techniques and experience the exhilaration of challenging trekking. Along the way, be on the lookout for the unexpected whether it's a chance encounter with local wildlife or special skills workshops that add depth to your experience.
On our final day of trekking, we will conquer the mighty Gunung Machinchang. Although it rises at a modest 704 meters, summiting this peak will test your mental and physical endurance. The journey is challenging and rewarding, offering breathtaking views of the lush landscape.

Once we return, unwind and rejuvenate with a refreshing shower and a delicious meal awaiting you. Cheers to your accomplishments with a well deserved drink!
The following day offers a chance to relax and recharge with a diving adventure at a natural reserve, perfect for seasoned divers and those new to the experience.

Our journey continues as we transition by private boat to a secluded island paradise. Here, life slows down, and we'll focus on perfecting your island living skills, including fishing and foraging. Picture yourself free diving to gather treasures from the ocean, enjoying fresh catches during beach BBQs, and sharing stories under a blanket of stars.
This expedition prioritises self discovery and healing. With the Uturn Team there to support you, whether you need encouragement through challenges or a friendly ear, you are never alone on this journey.
