Dream Forest Langkawi to feature interactive experience featuring folklore stories




Starting May 1 this year, Dream Forest Langkawi will transform a leisurely 1.2km trail in a prehistoric forest of over a hundred million years old into an immersive experience with the magic of multi-sensory technology, projection mapping, sophisticated lighting and mesmerising soundscapes. 


Located at the foot of mighty Gunung Raya, the Dream Forest is a wonderland of biodiversity that never sleeps. 

During the day, visitors can take nature walks to participate in forest bathing and discover unique animals like flying lemurs, dusky leaf monkeys, the Sumatran toad as well as several species of hornbills that call the Lubuk Semilang forest their home.

At sunset, the forest transforms into a 15.8-acre wide natural theatrical space.

When the sun goes down, the forest comes alive and the tales of Tasik Dayang Bunting, Merong Mahawangsa and the Giants of Langkawi turn into interactive adventures for visitors of all ages. 

Conceptualised and developed by highly acclaimed creative powerhouse Tiara Jacquelina, the President and Chief Dream Maker of the Enfiniti Group assembled an all-Malaysian team of the best talents in the creative, technical and construction worlds to bring this unique concept to life.  

“To begin with, Dream Forest Langkawi was one of several of Enfiniti’s projects halted by the pandemic. 

"It had started out in 2019 as a very different project, designed to be experienced as separate stories told through various mediums of technology in individual pavilions. 

"This was part of a plan to revitalise and re-invigorate the beautiful former Kampung Buku (Book Village) of Langkawi. We even had plans for a spectacular nightly performance in an outdoor theatre," said Tiara. 

She believed that with many local stories should be shared with the world through different media. 

The wonders of Dream Forest Langkawi go beyond immersive adventures. It’s primed to increase local tourism by attracting visitors of all ages; families, holidaymakers, school groups, corporations, event organisers, wedding planners, and culture buffs. 

"This in turn, will help boost the local economy through employment, enrich the local communities through training and technology transfer, as well as create business opportunities." 
 
Dream Forest Langkawi will also be working closely with all tourism stakeholders including Tourism Malaysia, Langkawi Development Authority (LADA) and tourism and travel associations like the Malaysian Association of Tour and Travel Agencies (MATTA), Malaysian Inbound Tourism Association (MITA), the airlines, travel agents (OTA) and other channels of distribution, locally and internationally.

Dream Forest Langkawi will open from 7pm to 12 midnight daily, except Wednesdays.
