If you're planning a tour of Langkawi - particularly if you hope to get to see all the best sights - then you will find that Langkawi car hire will be essential.
The island is a mere 18 miles in length and under nine miles across and there is plenty on offer, including Pantai Kok (best seen from the cable car), Pantai Tengah, Datai Bat, Burau Bay and Mount Kinabulu. Langkawi is also notable for its many duty-free shopping opportunities.
The island is served by Langkawi International Airport (LGK), which is situated in the north-western region of Padang. One of the main attractions of this archipelago of 99 islands that lies just 30 km from the coast of north-western Malaysia is that there are ferries linking them all.
The glorious powder-sand beaches of Cenang resort and the Straights of Malacca should not be missed. Alternatively there are numerous jungles and other underdeveloped areas to explore. Further highlights include the Gunung Mulu National Park, which includes Gunung Raya, the highest mountain on the island. The Legend Gardens which covers some fifty acres is set alongside the Al-Hana Mosque and the CHOGM Park.
The Crocodile Adventureland is a must-see for all the family. Here you will find more than 1,000 alligators and crocodiles, some of which will take part in boxing matches against some brave but crazy locals. Equally unmissable is the chance for some snorkelling and golf. Langkawi has some of the finest golf courses in the region.
Due to its location behind the mountains of Peninsular Malaysia, Langkawi avoids the winter monsoons and enjoys sunny skies just about all year round and the beaches are white and sandy, with Pantai Cenang being the most popular.
