On your next vacation, tour the nearby islands, take in the stunning beaches, and take leisurely boat rides in Langkawi, and you will surely have the best days of your life. Visit the following places in Langkawi to experience the best of the best.
There is nothing like the amazing experience the Langkawi Sky Bridge offers. To get to the bridge, use the steepest cable car in the world and climb 660 meters above sea level. Stroll across this beautifully constructed bridge that is stretched between two peaks to take in magnificent views of the ocean and jungle. The bridge is one of a kind because of its curving design, which presents a novel viewpoint from all directions.
The Seven Wells Waterfall, so named because it generates seven natural pools at different levels, is the most beautiful waterfall on the island and is close to the Sky Bridge's top. There are various ways to get to the falls, with hiking options ranging from shorter to longer. If hiking is not an option for you, you may still see the falls from the cable car as you head to the Sky Bridge.
Conveniently located among a large number of eateries, music venues, and cafes on the island's west coast lies Pantai Cenang- the most popular beach on the island. This 2 km long length of white sand fosters an upbeat and lively atmosphere. Don't forget that there are many family resorts in Langkawi located in this area offering easy access to Pantai Cenang.
Here's something you may do to enhance your nightlife while staying at the Temple Tree Resort. Every evening, Langkawi has a separate market, each with its expertise and location. Enjoy the authentic local ambience and try authentic Malaysian cuisine while sellers prepare and serve their products. Considering how much plastic is used at these markets, you might want to bring your reusable containers and bags to reduce the amount of single-use plastic waste.
Tucked up between the Andaman Sea and a thick jungle is the remote beach known as Tanjung Rhu. With only a few exclusive resorts, this serene location is far more tranquil than other parts of Langkawi. It is surely a wonderful piece of heaven!
Experience the excitement of up close and personal with some of the most fascinating and ancient reptiles on the planet at Crocodile Adventureland, a thrilling wildlife park located in Langkawi. Covering over 20 acres of verdant tropical landscape, the park has more than 4,000 crocodiles and alligators of many kinds. Visitors can walk across specially made walkways above crocodile ponds, hold baby crocodiles for pictures, and get a close-up look at the endangered albino crocodiles for a more interactive experience.
Eagle Square, also called Dataran Lang, is a well-known landmark in Kuah Town that is close to the major ferry station in Langkawi. The centrepiece of the area is an impressive 12-meter-tall monument of an eagle poised to soar, signifying Langkawi's name, which is derived from the Malay word "Helang," (which means eagle). Representing the island's spirit of strength and independence, this magnificent sculpture is a popular photo location, especially when framed by the breathtaking views of the blue sea, lush mountains, and a picturesque harbour.
The second-largest island in the Langkawi archipelago, Pulau Dayang Bunting, is renowned for its breathtaking natural scenery and unique geological formations. The Lake of the Pregnant Maiden (Tasik Dayang Bunting), a stunning freshwater lake surrounded by hills covered in lush vegetation, is the primary attraction on the island. Activities available in Dayang Bunting include swimming in the serene lake, paddle boating, and exploring the mangrove forests and limestone caverns nearby.
