    A trip to the beautiful and vibrant Langkawi island would not be complete without a ride on the Langkawi SkyCab Cable Car. Hovering over the lush 10-million-year-old rainforest, the cable car offers visitors a unique exhilarating experience and glimpses of the island's flora and fauna. Personally, we believe that the best way to witness all of the Langkawi's beauty is when you're at 708m above sea level!

    Recognised as the highest cable car ride in Malaysia, climb aboard the SkyCab and journey through the cliffs of Gunung Mat Chinchang. The SkyCab will bring you from the Base to the Middle Station, where you can alight onto viewing platforms to enjoy the sights, before continuing your journey with a short walk up to the Top Station, granting you with the spectacular views of the island. You can even spot Southern Thailand from up here!
    Fun fact: Langkawi SkyCab was also awarded as the Longest Free Span Mono-Cable Car in the world by the Book Of Records!

Once you've reached the area, head on in to the Oriental Village - that's where you will find the entry to the cable car station as well as the ticketing counters.

    1. Langkawi Sky Bridge

    The one attraction you should definitely not miss out while you're here is the iconic Langkawi SkyBridge. Completed in 2004, the bridge extends out from the hillside and measures at 125 metres in length, making it the longest free span and curved bridge in the whole world.

    Located at the top of the magnificent Mat Chinchang mountain, the stunning views you will get from up here are arguably and possibly the best you'll get in Langkawi. The cable bridge is the perfect spot to get 360 degree views of the sprakling Andaman Sea and the beautiful tropical rainforest.
    To get here, you can either take a short, breezy walk up a jungle trail from the top cable car station or hop onto the convenient SkyGlide. The admission fee for SkyBridge is priced at RM6 for adults and RM4 for children. Get your tickets now on Klook!

    2. SkyGlide

    SkyGlide Langkawi cable car
    Take a convenient ride up to the Langkawi Sky Bridge using SkyGlide, an elevator-like glass transport that moves up and down the hillside. This mode of transport is a much faster way to reach the top and is perfect for those who would like to avoid the short jungle trail hike.

    What we love about it is its design that resembles an elevator with glass panels on all sides, allowing visitors to have a clear view of the outdoors during the 2-minute ride up. SkyGlide tickets are available separately - RM16 for adults and RM11 for children - and you can only get them from the ticketing counter situated at the Top Station.
