LANGKAWI, MALAYSIA

How To Go And What To Do At Langkawi

 

If you plan to go to Langkawi, you have two options; either by air or by sea. 
By air is definitely a better choice.
How about by mainland? You can easily take a ferry from Kuala Kedah Jetty and the fare for one way is only RM18.00. It takes about 1 1/2 hour to reach Langkawi.

You can also take a ferry from Penang, Georgetown. It takes about 3 hours to reach Langkawi.

It is advisable to bring along your passport if you intend to go up to Thailand like Satun or Koh Lipeh Island. They are small islands situated closed to Langkawi and located in the Southern Thailand, part of Thai Andaman Sea. You can go from Jetty Point in Kuah. It takes about an hour travel.

At Langkawi Island, there are many attractive places that might interest you :-

i) Pulau Payar Marine Park for snorkeling and scuba diving

ii) Yacht cruises / Buffet Sunset cruises 
Quite costly.

iii) Geopark / Mangrove Tour and Island hopping 
Get a cheaper price from the Jetty Point at Kuah tickets booth. Try to get a good bargain and not to go thru' any agent.

iv) Island Tour 
You can rent a motorbike if you travel in two persons. Rent a mini car for four persons. Get it from Jetty Point in Kuah . Try not to rent from agents or any restaurant people. It is very easy using the map or ask around. The people there are quiet friendly and they are most happy to show you the way.

v) Cable Car / Curved Suspension Bridge or Amphibious Tour (Ducks Tour) 
They are all located at the Oriental Village.

It is a spectacular view especially from the top of the mountain when you are travelling in a cable car.

Be prepared to be disappointed if you want to experience walking along the CURVED SUSPENSION BRIDGE. Why???? This bridge is always closed to public and reasons given is - maintenance!

I was there few times during these few years but sadly to say that I have yet to take (or should I say, no luck) a walk at the much talked about Curved Suspension Bridge! Reason given was MAINTENANCE again!!!

Anyway be patient for the beautiful sunset at the peak of the mountain. You would not be disappointed!

vi) Time to pamper yourself 
If you want something amazing, inspiring and outstanding, try to dine at THE CLIFF RESTAURANT at Pantai Cenang beach. You can see stunning beautiful sunset with great cuisines and many more amazing things for you to experience.

Well, Langkawi is one of the many beautiful islands in Malaysia. I myself have been there numerous times and yet never get bored of it! Just love Langkawi!!! :)
