Things to do in Langkawi

Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the country of Malaysia. With white beaches, waterfalls, rainforests, jungles, wildlife, and more, you won’t be surprised to know that Langkawi is also called the “Jewel of Kedah.”

Start your trip by exploring the urban side of Langkawi. Find plenty of photo ops at the Legend Park and Eagle Square. The square’s giant eagle statue is also an impressive sight during sunset and at night. While you’re out at night, get your fill of the best street food next at the Langkawi night markets.

Discover more about Malaysia at Galeria Perdana. Check out the gorgeous abstract paintings at the Ibrahim Hussein Foundation Museum. Be part of the masterpieces at the interactive Art in Paradise 3D art museum.

This is where you’ll get jaw-dropping panoramic views of the islands at the SkyBridge. You can’t miss experiencing “sky-trekking” at Skytrex Adventure. Feel like an acrobat or Tarzan himself when you fly, swing, glide and dangle from tree to tree above the lush Malaysian Rainforest.

Climb over 600 steps to see the breathtaking Telaga Tujuh Waterfalls. You can even enjoy a dip in the cool waters too. Find more spectacular scenery when you reach the peak of Gunung Raya.
