About Langkawi Islands & Cable Car
Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands off Malaysia’s north-west coast — duty-free, jungle-clad and ringed by beaches. The headline sights are the steep Panorama SkyCab cable car and the curving Langkawi Sky Bridge, but the mangroves, island-hopping cruises and white-sand Cenang beach are just as memorable.
