Langkawi Sky Bridge & Cable Car
Soaring high above rainforests and waterfalls, the Langkawi Sky Bridge is a stunning curved walkway suspended between mountain peaks. You’ll reach it via a thrilling cable car ride that offers jaw-dropping panoramic views. It’s hands-down one of the top things to do in Langkawi if you love epic scenery and a bit of a thrill.
Travel Tip: Book a small-group tour — fewer people, more magic. Wear water shoes, some islands are rocky.
Tanjung Rhu Beach
While many tourists flock to Pantai Cenang, Tanjung Rhu is where serenity lives. Powdery sand, crystal-clear water, and casuarina trees that sway gently — this beach is postcard perfection without the chaos. It’s my go-to for lazy afternoons and quiet sunset views.
Travel Tip: Bring your own snacks — no beach bars here, and that’s exactly why it’s peaceful.
Mangrove Tour in Kilim Geoforest Park
Cruising through Langkawi’s mangroves feels like entering a different world — limestone cliffs, mysterious caves, and wildlife around every bend. You’ll spot macaques, eagles, and even little bats. It’s educational but never boring, and a must-do in Langkawi for nature lovers.
Travel Tip: Wear light, long sleeves and bring bug spray. The monkeys are curious — keep snacks hidden.
Langkawi Night Market (Rotating Locations)
Want a taste of real local life? Hit the night market. It changes locations nightly across villages, serving up sizzling satay, banana fritters, grilled seafood, and local crafts. It’s chaotic, cheap, and full of flavor — just the way street food should be.

Travel Tip: Arrive hungry and bring small bills. Don’t skip the “nasi kerabu” — it’s vibrant and delicious.
Temurun Waterfall
Tucked into the northern jungles, Temurun Waterfall is Langkawi’s tallest — a three-tiered cascade with a natural plunge pool. It’s not over-touristed and has a raw, untouched vibe. Great for a refreshing dip on a hot day.
Travel Tip: It’s air-conditioned heaven after beach time. Pair it with a Cenang walk and coconut shake nearby.
My Personal Recommendation
If you ask me what to do in Langkawi that I’d do again and again, it’s the mangrove boat ride at golden hour in Kilim Geoforest Park. As the sun sets behind the cliffs, the sky turns honey and violet, and the sound of birds and water fills the air. It’s not flashy. But it’s magic. Real, quiet magic.
