Essential Information: When to go and what you'll need
Getting Around
Reached by air, Langkawi is relatively remote, albeit it only 30km off the coast of Malaysia. Flights are available from the capital Kuala Lumpur and also nearby Bangkok and Singapore. There isn’t really much of a public transport system here – only a handful of key roads, so if you need to get around the island, a taxi is recommended.
Island Hopping
This is one of the most popular things to do in Langkawi. Not surprising as there are 104 islands in the archipelago, most of which are inhabited; Langkawi being the biggest. With caves, mangroves and endless rainforest canopy, the wildlife is amazing and the scenery simply stunning. Excursions range from half to a full day, but the best ones also include a visit to the Bat Cave, known as Gua Kelawar. Accessed by a wooden footbridge that twists through the mangrove swamps, this cave is home to a large population of Malaysian Fruit Bats.
Kayaking in the Mangrove Forest
For an unforgettable and perhaps more active trip, try kayaking through the mangrove forest; a great way to see the natural flora and fauna right before your eyes. Twisting and turning through the gorgeous swamps, ideally with a guide (!), you will you be awed by the stunning surroundings, the uniqueness of the mangroves and of course the beauty of the wildlife, namely kingfishers, sea eagles and herons.
