What a lovely place. Langkawi Island was not on my itinerary until SK at the Tree-in-Lodge in Singapore persuaded me that I could not leave Malaysia without visiting the island. I am so glad he did. It has beautiful mountains, jungle and lovely beaches – no wonder it is the pearl of Malaysia’s tourism. Me and my bike came by ferry from George Town. It’s a fair distance as the super-fast ferry took 3 hours at, I guess, more than 30nm per hour. I stayed in a good backpacker lodge called The Honey Badger Hut. It about 25 km out of the main town but a perfect location as it is only a short walk from the best beach on the island and close to shops and restaurants.
I rented a scooter and had a glorious day exploring the island. The main attractions are a walk to the Seven Wells Waterfall and a ride up to the second highest peak in a cool cable car system. At the top they have a suspended pedestrian bridge angled across a valley where the views are just stunning.
Wow that is stunning.
Hi Elred – good to share the ferry with you from Georgetown to Langkawi – and to learn that your handmade bike came from a town in Somerset, UK, 8 miles from my home! Had a great time in Koh Lipe, then Koh Lanta and now in Phuket. Ride safe and enjoy.
