Perched high above lush rainforest and turquoise sea, the Langkawi SkyBridge is one of Malaysia’s most breathtaking attractions. But getting there is half the adventure. To reach this spectacular curved bridge, you’ll first take a thrilling ride on the Langkawi Cable Car (SkyCab)—a journey that lifts you 700 metres above sea level with unforgettable views. Along the way, you’ll travel through mountains, mist, and jungle before arriving at a world-class viewing platform in the sky.
Ride the Langkawi Cable Car (SkyCab)
The Langkawi Cable Car starts at the base station in Oriental Village, nestled at the foothills of Mount Machinchang. As you glide upwards, look out across a sea of green forest, hidden waterfalls, and limestone cliffs. On a clear day, the Andaman Sea sparkles on the horizon.
The journey takes around 15 minutes, with a quick stop at a mid-station where you can pause and soak in the panoramic views.
Take in the Views from the Top Station
Once you reach the top, a short flight of stairs leads to two viewing platforms. From here, you can take in a 360-degree view of Langkawi’s dramatic mountain range, jungle canopy, and faraway islands.
Look north and you might catch a glimpse of southern Thailand. On a clear day, even Sumatra in Indonesia can be spotted in the distance.
Walk the Iconic Langkawi SkyBridge
From the top station, follow signs to the Langkawi SkyBridge—one of the longest curved suspension bridges in the world. You can reach it by taking the SkyGlide (a short, steep tram) or by walking a 15-minute forested trail.
The bridge hangs 100 metres above a lush valley, giving you sweeping views of Langkawi’s peaks and coastline. It’s an exhilarating walk with glass floor sections, perfect for photos.
