Langkawi Sky Bridge

Langkawi Sky Bridge is one of the world's longest curved suspension bridges. Its dynamic contour provides changing perspectives of surrounding scenery as you walk along the length of the bridge. Admire the ancient Machinchang Cambrian Geoforest Park with its exquisite waterfalls, rocky cliffs, gorges, and jungle habits, before looking out over the ocean and nearby islands.

Keep an eye out for Thailand's Tarutao Island in the distance, clearly visible on sunny days when facing north. Visitors can stand on a transparent Perspex floor panel to get extra close to nature and appreciate the dizzying height of the bridge.

The Sky Bridge can only be reached by taking Langkawi Sky Cab to the top station and purchasing a separate ticket. Depending on your ticket type, take the glass encased funicular, Sky Glide, straight down to the bridge entrance, or walk 150 meters down the mountain, keeping an eye peeled for birdlife and monkeys amongst the trees.

Insider Tips For Langkawi Sky Bridge

• Sky Bridge tickets can only be purchased from a booth at the Sky Cab top station (cash only). The booth is on the left as you exit the sky cab.
• Standard Sky Bridge tickets include a "nature walk" where visitors must walk 150m down steep steps through the humid jungle. The walk takes 10-15 minutes down and 15-20 minutes up, however it is more strenuous than it sounds. Alternatively, purchase a Sky Glide ticket for RM11 (USD$2.36) to ride a small glass funicular straight to the bridge entrance. Only a limited number of people can ride the Sky Glide at a time and queues are long during busy periods. Assess the length of the Sky Glide line before choosing your option. If you choose the nature walk down, a 1-way Sky Glide ticket can be purchased for RM6 (USD$1.29) per person to avoid climbing the steep steps back to the Top Station.
• The Sky Bridge can accommodate 200 visitors at a time.

Backstory

Langkawi Sky Bridge was officially opened to the public on February 27th 2005, following a 12-month-long construction period. The bridge's construction presented several challenges including transporting materials and prefabricated elements to the mountaintop by helicopter, optimal weight management and load distribution, and structural balancing from the one single point - the tip of the pilon.

The bridge featured in 2006 Bollywood movie "Don: The Chase Begins Again".
