Your trip to Langkawi is incomplete without a ride on the world-famous Langkawi SkyCab, a cable car that owns a spot on the Malaysia Book of Records for being 'The Longest Free Span Mono-Cable'. Hop on and get ready for spectacular views of mountains, valleys, and the sea right beneath your feet.

The 15-minute Langkawi SkyCab ride will lead you up to the magnificent Langkawi Skybridge located 2,300ft above sea level. This stunning bridge is amongst the longest curved pedestrian bridges in the world and offers 360° panoramic views of the island. The bridge is rated one of the top must-visits in Langkawi and definitely shouldn't be missed. Langkawi Skybridge tickets are bookable at discounted rates on Klook!
3. Dream Forest Langkawi
Another activity that both adults and kids will enjoy is Dream Forest Langkawi, an enchanting realm where the island’s legendary stories come to life. Here, art and technology merge to create a modern narrative experience.

The Oriental Village is located at the Base Station of the Langkawi cable car. This open-air complex is full of quirky stalls, retail stores, restaurants, a spa that offers Thai massage services, an animal farm, and even a 3D Art Museum. There's so much to see and do here especially with kids, so be sure to allocate some time to explore the village before or after you hop on the cable car.
There are also many family-friendly, casual restaurants in the Oriental Village, including a food court where you can indulge in authentic Malaysian dishes such as nasi lemak, chicken rice, nasi campur, and more. Best part? Admission to the Oriental Village is free! If you want to kill 4 birds with 1 stone, check out this Langkawi private tour to visit Oriental Village, SkyCab, Sky Bridge, and Cenang Beach!
5. Eagle Square

The large 12-metre tall eagle sculpture at the Langkawi Eagle Square (also known as Dataran Lang in local language) is one of the island's most recognizable monuments, built as an emblem of Langkawi. The eagle stands proudly on a blue star-shaped platform with its wings spread, looking ready to soar into the sky.
Pop by for a selfie or family photo with Langkawi's iconic statue as a memory of your visit! It's best to visit during sunrise or sunset because the sun can get pretty unforgivable in the afternoon as the area is unshaded. Alternatively, you can also catch a glimpse of the eagle lit up with lights upon nightfall.
6. Langkawi Underwater World

The Langkawi Underwater World is one of the largest aquariums in Malaysia. It's home to 4,000 different aquatic species and is almost six acres big. Our favourite part of the space is the gigantic, 15 meter-long tunnel where you can get up-close and personal with sharks, giant stingrays, groupers, and turtles. You can also befriend adorable penguins at the Penguinarium here! Book your open-dated entry tickets on Klook to enjoy discounted rates and skip-the-queue at the ticketing counter.

One great thing about the Langkawi Wildlife Park is the fact that it's a fully-covered space with covered walkways and sheltered exhibit areas - this way you'll get to take a break from the sun and explore it whether rain or shine.
