Day 1: Skybridge Walk
On day 1, we visited the Langkawi Sky Bridge, an iconic curved bridge that offers panaromic views of the surrounding islands and the Andaman Sea. To reach the Sky Bridge, you will need to ride the Langkawi Cable Car to the top. The ride itself is an adventure, showcasing stunning and breathtaking views.
In the evening, we went for Go-Karting at the local track and it was an adrenaline-filled experience.
Day 2: Seven Wells Waterfall Trek
On Day 2, we went for a trek to the Seven Wells Waterfall (Telaga Tujuh). This beautiful waterfall is named after the seven natural pools formed by the flowing water, offering a stunning backdrop for photos and a refreshing swim. We could climb up to the 4th point and that in itself was an adventure. We rested for a while near a natural slipper and pool.
Even though I don’t know how to swim, I still had a great time in the pool. It’s refreshing, cool, and shallow enough to enjoy.
Caution: Be mindful of the wild monkeys in the area and keep a close watch on your belongings. They tend to wander around and may attempt to snatch items from tourists. Avoid carrying any food.
In the evening, we headed to Cenang Beach to witness a breathtaking sunset. It’s the perfect place to unwind, take in the stunning views, and experience the lively ambiance. You can also try out various water sports. Afterward, stroll through the nearby market for some shopping, where you’ll find souvenirs and locally crafted items.
