Ride up the world’s steepest cable car, SkyCab and unveil the rocky mountains and mesmerizing scenery of Langkawi Island. The cable car zooms past 3 stations before arriving at the summit of Gunung Machinchang, where you can access the Langkawi Sky Bridge.
With a whooping 2.2 kilometers in distance, this 15-minute cable car ride is more than just a means of transport. On the way up, the glass gondolas reveal a 360 degree view of the luscious rainforest of Langkawi, with rolling clouds right beneath your feet and the sea just within sight in the near distance. On clear days, the isles of Thailand are even visible across the horizon. Ride all the way up to the peak and walk across the Langkawi Sky Bridge, a 125 meter long bridge that offers a panoramic view of Langkawi island and its surroundings. The picture-perfect view alone is definitely worth the trip. Pro tip on choosing when to visit is to look at the weather! Clouds may block your view on cloudy days, so be sure to observe the skies before you embark.
One of the other attractions available at the stations is the Sky Dome, a visual arts exhibition hall equipped with 12 projector and offering high definition 3D projections of the constellations. You are sure to be awe-struck and amazed by the magical projections, making you feel as if you’re experiencing the real thing.
Hop onto the SkyRex and let it take you on a journey through prehistoric times. The tram-styled stimulator gives you a thrilling experience by providing you physical and sensory simulation. Entrance to the SkyRex is free with every purchase of the SkyCab ticket! While you’re there, you should also visit the 3D Arts Museum, a surreal gallery that is one of the largest 3D museums in Malaysia. Take comical and fun photos with friends and family and make your trip one to remember.
