Highlights

Eagle Square - Langkawi, often referred to as Kedah’s jewel, is named after the red-backed sea eagle that soars through the island’s skies. According to legend, the word ‘Lang’ is derived from the Malay word ‘helang’, meaning Eagle. ‘Kawi’ is a term that signifies marble or reddish brown.

Eagle Square - Langkawi, often referred to as Kedah’s jewel, is named after the red-backed sea eagle that soars through the island’s skies. According to legend, the word ‘Lang’ is derived from the Malay word ‘helang’, meaning Eagle. ‘Kawi’ is a term that signifies marble or reddish brown. A flock of reddish-brown Eagles flying high in the sky enhances the legend and symbol of Langkawi. In Malay, ‘Dataran’ translates to square, leading to the English name ‘Dataran Lang’ or Eagle Square.
Tanjung Rhu Beach - Nestled at Langkawi’s northeastern tip, Tanjung Rhu Beach is a hidden bay encircled by lush jungle and towering mountains. It’s no surprise that some of the island’s most prestigious luxury resorts are located at Tanjung Rhu. The beach itself greets visitors with a wide expanse of fine white sand and crystal-clear, warm water perfect for swimming and snorkeling.

Facing north, Tanjung Rhu offers a view of Thailand on clear, sunny days. Unlike other popular beaches in Langkawi, Tanjung Rhu does not provide jet-ski rentals and water sports. This beach is ideal for those who prefer to relax, spending the day sunbathing, swimming, and enjoying cocktails at the beachfront bar. Visitors can also embark on a mangrove boat tour.

Panorama Langkawi SkyCab - Hovering over the jungle and ascending over 550 million years old rock, SkyCab offers more than one unique experience. Be aware, SkyCab is situated at the oldest part of South East Asia and the first to rise from the ancient sea and estuary! That’s something to give you goosebumps if you can grasp the significance. Come and experience it yourself.

The Base Station is conveniently located at the foothill of the Machincang mountain. From here, visitors are taken up to the cool Machincang mountain via the cable car system. The ride promises an exhilarating experience for everyone to enjoy. You will also catch a glimpse of the flora and fauna that surrounds the area.

Langkawi Sky Bridge - An engineering marvel, this suspended pedestrian bridge extends over Langkawi’s second-highest mountain, Gunung Machinchang, offering otherwise impossible views of the mountain’s texture and surrounding jungle.

The bridge’s wonder lies in the single 82-meter-high pylon from which the 125-meter-long bridge curves around the mountain, 100 meters above the ground.

Langkawi Sky Bridge is one of the world’s longest curved suspension bridges. Its dynamic contour provides changing perspectives of the surrounding scenery as you walk along the length of the bridge. Admire the ancient Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park with its exquisite waterfalls, rocky cliffs, gorges, and jungle habitats, before gazing out over the ocean and nearby islands.

Oriental Village - Situated at the foothills of Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park on Langkawi’s west coast, Oriental Village is home to Langkawi SkyCab and Langkawi SkyBridge, the renowned attractions in Malaysia. The area is just a 45-minute drive from Kuah Jetty and only a 20-minute drive from Langkawi International Airport (LIA).

A fantastic destination for all ages, this 25.944-acre Oriental Village offers breathtaking surroundings with unique Instagrammable spots to capture special moments. With its many offerings for visitors, a day-trip to Oriental Village is definitely a must.

Watch out for 'private tour' upsales - This 'private' tour started off great. Our guide was waiting with a sign and a big smile. His English was rough but we could understand most of what he said. It was a nice drive through the island to our first stop with the giant eagle which was stunning. On the road again he began telling us about a great waterfall we were going to next. I didn't remember a waterfall in the tour description, but ok.... The place we stopped was actually a sales pitch for us to ride a motorcycle to the waterfall. My husband is mid-70 and I once crashed a moped. Needless to say, we don't ride motorcycles. They pushed some but we were strong in our'no'. Back into the car. Now our guide began talking about these amazing mangroves he was taking us to next with birds and monkeys. The way he described it, we thought it must be on the way to the sky tram. Guess again. We pull into an area of tourist stalls, he hopped out, told us to get out, pointed to a lady, and said she will help you with the mangroves, when you are done I am parked over there. Her drove off. Immediately the lady started showing us a number of mangrove tours we could take for an extra fee and another 1-2 hours. At this point we said enough. We walked to our driver and firmly told him to take us to the cable car and sky bridge - the main things we wanted to see and what we expected from the trip description. This is where things got weird. He called his boss who said the cable car wouldn't open until noon (it was 10:30) so we should do the mangrove tour or just stay at the beach. We said No. He drove off, was speaking intensely on the phone, suddenly pulled onto a dirt back road that went nowhere. We were getting quite concerned. He went back to the beach saying there were car problems and a cab was coming. And back on the phone. We sat there waiting. We kept insisting he take to the cable cars and we would wait there. Suddenly there were no more car problems and off we went. He passed his phone to me to talk to his boss who pushed more for us to stay at the beach. Emphatic no! It took over 1/2 hour to get the cable car area and it's now pushing noon. (Which is the time they had said our tickets were for when they were trying to get us to stay at the beach). As it turned out they did not have tickets, instead we had to get in line for tickets and learned the next opening was not until 1:30. We were so upset we said, just take us back to the ship. He put me on the phone again. The boss justified, tried to get us to take the spot and etc. Wasn't good. Finally the driver took us back and we spent the whole morning not getting to do the very thing that we purchased the excursion for. Through Whatsapp the boss asked if he could try to fix it? How? By then it's too late. I said he could refund and he said no. Then he wished me a Merry Christmas (PS this was Christmas Day).
