    We were part of a small minibus group that had 1 day in Langkawi . Part of tour was to visit the cable car and skybridge . We did opt for the express lane so that reduced the time in queuing . Cost was less than £20 per person - but excellent value.
    It’s the longest free span. Able car that takes you up the Machinchang mountain - you certainly get a panoramic view of the island as well as the surrounding islands. From the middle station you take a further ride to Top station and if you feel energetic you could take the 19 walk to the skybridge - longest curved suspension. Being of a certain age we opted for the monorail !
    It was cloudy when we went but I am sure it would be wonderful on a clear day. Be aware that there might be a queue to get back into the monorail for the top station .
    Overall a brilliant element of our Langkawi trip .

    It was our second visit to the Sky Bridge after 16 years and we would come again and again!

    The views are astonishing and the Bridge is a men made wonder!

    We only took the tickets for the cable car (to get up there) and for the Sky Bridge itself. Everything else we skipped.

    Spend some time up there, it’s worth every minute as the weather might clear up and you get better views!

    Unfortunately, the Oriental Village near the lower terminus had seen better days and most of the stalls were abandoned.

    Wide beach and a good length, lovely fine sand. It’s quieter towards Casa Del Mar end but alas as others have stated, it’s become very busy with jet skis during the day and vehicles driving up and down the sand dropping & collecting them in the morning and evening. The cars / trucks don’t seem to care about people walking along the beach and often people have to jump out of the way as the cars try to go up the inclines. Also as the block footpath runs the length of the beach this is now used by mopeds to drive up and down all day long again forcing people to get out of the way. Lots of rubbish left on beach at sunset, but this generally gets cleared up the next morning or sadly washed into the sea. Construction taking place and some larger buildings being built, especially towards the Park Royal end where what looks like a rather large development is being built, Tropicana Cenang.

    Had an amazing time at the waterfall, we arrived around 6pm and there were only 2 other people there. We soon had the entire waterfall to ourselves, which felt very special.

    There are monkeys on patrol so do keep an eye on your possessions, and another tip would be to wear water-friendly shoes! I went in barefoot which was fine until I tried getting out… the edges of the pools are naturally very slippy and I spent a good 5 minutes (much to my husband’s amusement) trying to get out!

    The steps take around 15-20 mins, depending on your fitness levels. My husband struggling with the humidity as we were walking up, so bear this in mind.

    10000% worth the walk, as the views are second to none.

    Was fine. Not much to do on the island so decided to give this a visit. Obviously this is more interesting if you have a little children, but it was fine. Personally I much more enjoyed visiting the four seasons for a cocktail.

    Worth a look

    It’s clean and everything was powered, so it’s okay to eat (i think). We didn’t have any issues. Parking it tricky and suggest walking.

    We visited Underwater World on a cruise ship excursion in December 2023, actually on Christmas Day. Ironically we hadn't intended to visit as we were due to ride the cable car but it was too windy for them to run in the morning so our excursion visited here as the Plan B. Although disappointed to miss out on the cable cars and sky bridge, we actually really liked our visit to Underwater World.

    As aquariums go it was pretty decent, it's the largest attraction of its type in Malaysia and included a wide range of exhibits. You had the usual mix of jellyfish, turtles, stingrays etc, but they had a wonderful display of rockhopper penguins where you could watch them on the rocks or head to a lower viewing area and see them swimming from underneath them. Very cool idea.

    Other exhibits included catfish, sharks, a tropical rainforest area, Koi Carp, eels, coral garden fishes, a 15-meter tunnel where you are surrounded by giant stingrays, groupers and turtles, and some reptile displays with snakes. At the end of the walk around there was a large gift shop that also sold duty-free goods with a wide selection of chocolates and alcoholic drinks at reasonable prices.

    All in all we enjoyed our visit here...an hour was just enough time to see the various exhibits, watch them feed the rays, and check out the cute penguins too.

    Marvelous city especially the eagle square you cannot miss as well as the iconic Maha Tower 138 meters high which is worth while visiting.
