The cable car ride is stunning. We walked down to the bridge via the shaded forest trail and spotted some monkeys, then took the SkyGlide back up to avoid the uphill trek in the heat.
SkyCab - Soar Over Ancient Rainforest Peaks

22 ReviewsNo reviews in this category yet.
Overview
Soar above ancient wonders with SkyCab, a cable car journey over lush jungle and rock formations more than 550 million years old, once part of an ancient sea floor. Your adventure begins at the Base Station below Machinchang Mountain, ascending past rare rainforest flora and fauna.
At the Middle Station, 650 metres up, enjoy sweeping 360-degree views of Langkawi and its surrounding islands. A short climb reaches the Top Station at 708 metres, where two viewing platforms reveal towering rock spires, steep cliffs and deep chasms, with views as far as Southern Thailand on a clear day.
As the world's longest free-span mono-cable car, SkyCab is the centrepiece of any Langkawi visit, with an Express Lane that cuts peak-season queues to as little as 10 minutes.
