Sky Cab is the longest free span mono-cable car in Malaysia and it hovers above the oldest part of Southeast Asia! What this means is that as you look out of your gondola, you are in fact, looking at an ancient sea and rock formations that are as old as 550 million years old! Moreover, the feeling of admiring the panoramic view of the Jewel of Kedah from a bird’s-eye point of view is simply indescribable. You have to experience it for yourself!
| AirAsia Boarding Pass Perk: As you purchase your tickets excitedly, don’t forget to show the counter your boarding pass to enjoy a RM5 discount OFF your admission ticket! Yay, what a great way to kickstart your second morning in Langkawi! |
Since you are nearby, don’t miss this chance to visit the famous Langkawi Sky Bridge! Unlike normal bridges, this bridge is gently curved to offer visitors a myriad of angles of the magnificent surroundings as they stroll across it. Built at the top of Machinchang mountain with a whopping height of 82 metres, this epic suspended bridge is certainly not for the faint-hearted!

Yes, we hear your hunger pangs. Next, head to The Loaf for a yummylicious brunch! This quaint bakery is located along the boardwalk at Perdana Quay. If the weather permits, do pick an outdoor seat for a lovely view of the harbour as you munch on your meal!

After you’ve had your fill, it’s time to watch majestic crocodiles in action! Take a 10-minutes drive over to Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi to catch the crocodile feeding show at 1.15pm. Home to more than 1000 crocodiles, Crocodile Adventureland Langkawi is one of the biggest crocodile sanctuaries in the world. Bujang Kawi, the world’s oldest croc born without teeth, lives here as well!

Savour authentic Malaysian delicacies while soaking in the serenity of a Sawah Padi (rice field) ambience. It’s the perfect conclusion for an enjoyable day well-spent.
Day 3: Koh Lipe & Snorkelling
Today’s a tad more special – it’s time to explore Koh Lipe! Get your sleepyheads out of bed and head to the Telaga Terminal. Note that the ferry sets sail at 9.30am, so do arrive earlier to grab your tickets!

After a one and a half hour ride, you will finally arrive at the dazzling island of Koh Lipe. Known as the Maldives of Thailand, this tropical paradise is one of our all-time favourite islands in the Land of Smiles!
What sets Koh Lipe apart from the other islands within the Andaman Sea is its paradisiac beaches that aren’t filled with crowds of tourists. Coupled with pristine beaches, soft pearly sand and an island of friendly locals, Koh Lipe will melt even the most hardened of hearts.
Let’s go to the beach-each, let’s go get away! Out of the three beaches in Koh Lipe, Sunset Beach is our favourite. Truly off the beaten path, this quiet beach is so secluded that you may actually get it all to yourself! With the balmy sea breeze and unparallelled serenity, this is the best place to laze around and do nothing at all!
If the clear, emerald waters are too enticing for you, go for a snorkelling session! As the island is surrounded by shallow waters, there are plenty of marine life and coral reefs to see as you go for a nautical adventure under the sea!
Images credit: Bamboo Coffee Shop & Restaurant Facebook
For lunch, head to Bamboo Coffee Shop & Restaurant for some mouthwatering Thai dishes! You can find it right smack in the middle of Walking Street between Pattaya Beach and Sunrise Beach. This down-to-earth coffee shop offers simple dishes that are super affordable, it’s no wonder that it gets crowded during meal times!
As the ferry only leaves Koh Lipe at 4.30pm, take all the time you need to enjoy this enchanting and idyllic island! You’ll never get enough of the blue skies, azure waters, and palm trees swaying in the wind.
It should be nearly 7pm by the time you get back to your hotel. Wash up and take a short stroll to Jalan Pantai Cenang Road. There are plenty of food options along the street, as well as small shops selling handmade souvenirs. In addition, explore the local night market where you can find cheap delicacies to snack on!
Day 4: Get Up Close with Adorable Wildlife
On your last day, spend the morning at Langkawi Wildlife Adventure Park with Langkawi’s cutest and friendliest animals! From prickly porcupines to furry foxes, curious civet cats to elegant eagles, Langkawi Wildlife Park is an animal-lover’s paradise!

Unlike zoos where you only get to see the animals caged and behind glass panels, Langkawi Wildlife Park is all about getting up close and personal with these amazing wildlife. Not only are you allowed to feed them, you will also get to touch, photograph and befriend them!
