Private Tour in Langkawi with SkyBridge and Langkawi Cable Car

We were picked up from our hotel and the weather did not look good and onway to the cable car it was pouring with rain and because of the cloud we could not see the cable cars or the mountain. Whilst I doubted it, our guide was confident we would be able to go up. He said they were opening at 10.30 and at 10.30 the clouds cleared and away we went. This is an awesome attraction with fantastic views from the top with views all around the island.

Great experience for anyone visiting Langkawi, even though I dont particulary like heights, the view itself is worth the trip. If you are like me, just look straight ahead, views are spectacular. Be prepared, it is very hot, and humid, take water up with you and dress in something cool, and walking shoes as well.

What a fabulous day, from the moment we were picked up by our private driver, yo the unexpected stops to waterfalls on the way, even arranged for the glass bottom canle car!! It was a brilliant day made all the better by Dean our driver, viukd not recommend it highly enough@@

We never received a confirmation from the tour operator or Viator about the exact pick up point, luckily one of the locals was so friendly to call them. Our driver was Mohammed, his English wasn’t very good. He drove us to a beach, where we got an introduction about a boat tour to the mangroves, when I looked at the map I saw that we were all the way north of the island which is not in the direction of the cable car. He tried to sell us an extra boat ride of 2 hours that we did not want at all. When we started driving again, he was talking about a waterfall and we stopped again at a kind of travel agency desk. I went to Mohammed and I explained to him that we booked a tour of 4 hours to go to the Cable Car. He explained us that it’s going to be cloudy overthere now in the morning and that’s better to go in the afternoon.. he only wanted to sell other tours to us! After we had this conflict with him, he almost didn’t say anything anymore in the car of he gave barely any narration. When we (finally) arrived at the Cable Car we first had to line up to change our Travel Agent voucher for actual tickets and then line up for the Cable Car. We checked with Mohammed when we hadto be back and he just said take your time. When we came back to the car, he asked us if we wanted to go for lunch. I said to him that we only wanted to do the itinerary that we paid for and included a stop at Eagle Square. At that moment the drama started as he said that we would go over the 4 hours duration of the tour that was scheduled? Well, the droves us to the other side of the island to try to sell us more! At the end, after phone calls with his boss etc, he droves us over to Eagle Square and back to the cruise port where we arrived 1,5 hour later. Would not recommend this tour! The views from the Cable Car where stunning. The ticket for the little train between the top cable car station and the start of the skybridge are not included, and involves a lot of stairs so I would book that at the kiosk like we did.

It was a great day, fine weather all the way . The local guide was good and get us the necessary tickets and were on the express lane to hop on to the skycab. We did not queue as the usher gives us priority....was great. Going up, the view was fantastic as the weather was bright and slowly warming up. Tourist are encourage to start early at 9.00am. At the middle station we took some pictures and proceed to the highest station and the skybridge. It was early and not much crowd. We spend about 30 mins taking pictures. As we took the skycab down we notice more and more tourist and the crowd getting bigger. At the ground station we went into the 3D art , 6D motion & skytrex. Overall it was very good and would recommend visitors to spend more time at this place.

Children under the age of 2 there is no charge as per Viator website. Even at the Cable car center it was stated under 2 no charge But I was asked to pay RM 70 but the tour agent for my son who is 1.5 years old. Please see my review for island hopping. Similar case. Please contact me at Patrick.Venderwall@mail.com. or you can ignore this feedback. Its up to you. Thanks.

During Ramadan (May-Jun of every year), operating hours for Cable Car & SkyBridge are restricted. Entry to SkyBridge is allowed till 4:30 PM, which is one of the key things to do in Langkawi. For a tour operator who has been doing this for years, this should be something that they know. Our tour started at 1:45 PM and the cab driver took us to the Cable Car & SkyBridge activity the last. We were denied tickets to SkyBridge. Moreover, he took us to an activity which was not part of the itinerary. If we would have opted for it, we would have lost additional 1 hour and eventually would have missed the Cable Car ride as well. So the operator / driver tried his best to avoid paying for the entry ticket to Cable Car and SkyBridge but luckily we managed to at least wrangle one of these out. Recommendation: Tell your driver to get you to that activity first. It opens at 9AM. It is supposed to be open till 7 PM so that you can watch the sunset from Cable Car or the SkyBridge.

we are not happy about our tour guide as he promised to send us a copy of the photos he took as they are the only photos taken on the day it has spoilt the tour if you can help us get a copy of the photos we might use your company again but at the moment we are not happy. we have rang him and message him about this problem, still awaiting.

It was the most wonderful experience. Perfectly planned and executed tour. Our driver cum guide Brunei didn't get his name correctly was the best ever. Courteous polite enthusiastic and very friendly and affable. Thank you, Viator. You are awesome

the trip was wonderful because the location we went to was so much fun ! i was a bit disappointed that i paid 100 dollars for a trip that might have costed me only 25 ringget because we were only driven to the place nothing extra. but service was good, the driver was there on time, he was entertaining and provided some details on the road to the Cable Car Langkawi.
