Mardi Argo Technology Park, Langkawi

Guided Fruit Farm Tour

There is a guided fruit farm tour offered inside the park. Specialized trucks with covered roof but open on both sides are used to take the tourists around the fruit orchards. It has comfortable seats and you will get good views all around as it moves. The guide would stop the truck every time you come to a new fruit orchard or there is something interesting to be shown.

The first visit is to the Tropical Fruit Farm. There are over 20 different types of seasonal and non-seasonal tropical fruit trees in the farmland here. The fruit farm covers about 40% of the total land area of the park. Some of the many fruits you can see here includes star fruits, guava, citrus, mango, rambutan, pulasan, durian, cempedak, jack fruits, longan, and many others.

I'm in the Grape House. If you are below 160 cm, then you are freely to walk inside the farm. If not, You might not enjoy walking..

There is a large jack fruit that has a shape of a human head hanging from the tree and has become a favorite picture spot. The jack fruit has been further made up with leaves and paints to look like a comical human head. You can just stand covering your head behind it and ask some one to take your picture. You will get a funny picture with your head as if being replaced with the jack fruit. There are similar more such photo opportunities here with fruits.

If you love fruits and eco tourism, then this is a perfect place for you. Spread over some 35 hectares of land area, this agro park was set up in 1990 and is run & managed by the government. Although the overall objective is to research in agriculture and farming, the key attraction here are the vast stretching fruit farms with sweeping view of the catchment area of Gunung Raya Reserve forests. The park is located next to Lubuk Semilang Recreational Park in Padang Matsirat and within short driving distance from Kuah town and the airport.
