Pantai Kok has the most number of impressive tourist attractions on Langkawi Island. Besides relaxing on its clean-as-a-whistle beach, visitors can also head to the elaborate Oriental Village located just at the foothill of Gunung Mat Chincang. Even though Langkawi is a small island, this quarter of the island is well-frequented for its unique waterfalls, wildlife sanctuaries, as well as a harbor that has plenty of dining options and nocturnal entertainment.

Traveling in Malaysia is quite convenient since it has some major bus terminals and express buses are the preferred mode of transport here. Tickets for which can be booked online from redbus.my.

Langkawi Cable Car

Langkawi Cable Car is an exhilarating (or terrifying for acrophobic visitors) 15-minute ride to the top of mount Mat Cincang, offering breathtaking views of the misty mountains, tiny islands and the turquoise Andaman Sea. Located in The Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok, visitors take a short stroll through the village which has a pleasant oriental garden and several souvenir shops. Langkawi Cable Car takes visitors all the way up to Mount Mat Cincang, Langkawi’s second highest peak at 708 metres, where visitors can enjoy the cool breeze, enjoy the view, and of course take lots of photos on the observatory deck. 

Langkawi Sky Bridge

The Langkawi Sky Bridge is located at the ‘end’ of the Cable Car ride. One of the island’s highlights, it is a 410ft-long curved pedestrian bridge above Mount Mat Cincang. It may sound like a cliché but it is really true – the views from here are simply stunning – great for those Kodak moments! Located 2,300ft above sea level, the Sky Bridge is easily accessible by the Langkawi Cable Car. The journey to the top starts out at the Oriental Village in the upper northwest of Langkawi Island, near Pantai Kok. Once the cable car gets going it gets a little chilly as winds flow through the ventilation slits at the top, so put on a sweater beforehand.
