About langkawi
The island’s ancient jungle-strewn mountains, unique mangrove habitats, and rare wildlife species earned it accreditation as Southeast Asia’s 1st UNESCO Global Geopark.
Langkawi’s 550-million-year-old natural history is best learned at the Geopark Discovery Centre before venturing out to explore its jungle, rivers, mangrove forests, and beaches first hand.

Langkawi Skycab Cable Car + SkyDome Langkawi + Skyrex Langkawi + 3D Art
Soar up to the tip of Langkawi’s second tallest mountain, Gunung Mat Cincang on Langkawi SkyCab, the world’s steepest cable car. The 15-minute ride in a standard or glass bottom gondola will have you soaring above the Langkawi’s lush rainforest to see nearby waterfalls, beaches, rock formations, and wildlife from a new perspective.
Dataran Lang (Eagle Square)
Standing at 12-meters high (39.3 feet), this commanding statue is inspired by Langkawi’s namesake sea eagle. Poised to take flight, the statue is the focal point of the waterfront Dataran Lang, a star-shaped plaza located on Kuah Bay, and is one of the first sights to greet visitors arriving via ferry or cruise ship.
Langkawi Sky Bridge
An engineering marvel, this suspended pedestrian bridge swings out over Langkawi’s second highest mountain, Gunung Mat Cincang providing 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 out around the mountain, 100 meters above the ground. The Sky Bridge can only be reached by taking Langkawi Sky Cab to the top station.
Gunung Raya (Mount Raya)
At the center of Langkawi’s mountainous landscape sits Gunung Raya, the tallest peak at 881 meters (2,890 feet) high. Visitors can access the mountain’s summit via road or by climbing 4,287 steep steps, called Tangga Helang Seribu Kenangan, or Thousand Memory Eagle Stairs. Climbers are best positioned to experience Gunung Raya’s impenetrable rainforest habitat, formed atop the 220-200-million-year-old granite foundation.
Underwater World Langkawi
One of the largest aquariums in Southeast Asia located on one of the region’s smallest islands. Underwater World Langkawi is split into the 3 main sections: tropical rainforest and river ecosystem; temperate & sub-Antarctic; and marine. Highlights include a walk-through rainforest with flamingos, fish, and birds; 3 playful fur seals; over 60 African penguins; and a 15-meter long tunnel tank with giant stingrays, sharks, turtles, and more.
