Langkawi Information
Langkawi at a glance
Langkawi is an archipelago of 99 islands in the Andaman Sea and a part of the state of Kedah in Malaysia. The main island is known for its amazing diving spots, the cable car and sky bridge, beautiful beaches, mangroves rich in fauna and flora, and countless other great activities. Langkawi is also a duty-free area which means duty-free alcohol, cheap shopping, and chocolates!
Its position close to the Malaysia–Thailand maritime border makes Langkawi a natural stepping stone between the two countries, which is why so many travellers arrive or leave by sea rather than flying.

Ports and arrival points
Crossings to and from Langkawi use the island's main jetty terminal, where immigration facilities are available for international arrivals and departures. Your ticket confirmation shows the exact pier name for your service, along with the check-in point.
On the Thai side, services typically use the piers serving the islands and mainland towns listed above. Pier locations occasionally differ between operators on the same route, so check the terminal name printed on your ticket rather than assuming a single departure point.
Onward transport connections
Langkawi links into a wider network of sea and land transport. From the Thai mainland, travellers commonly continue by bus and minivan connections along the Andaman coast to reach towns and transfer hubs further north or south.
Combined journeys are sold as a single booking where the operators run a connecting service, so you do not need to buy each leg separately. Where a route requires a transfer, the change point is shown in the itinerary before you pay.
Practical travel information
- Border crossing: journeys between Langkawi and Thai destinations cross an international border. Carry a passport valid for onward travel and allow extra time at immigration.
- Check-in: arrive at the pier well before departure. Operators close check-in ahead of the scheduled time and boarding is not guaranteed for late arrivals.
- Sea conditions: Andaman Sea crossings can be affected by weather, particularly during the monsoon months, and operators may adjust or cancel sailings.
- Seasonality: some island services do not run year-round. The search results only show departures that are actually operating on your chosen date.
- Baggage: speedboats have limited luggage space. Check the operator conditions shown at booking if you are travelling with large or heavy bags.
What to see and do
Beyond the beaches, the cable car and sky bridge give wide views over the archipelago and the surrounding sea. The mangrove tours are a highlight for wildlife, and the diving and snorkelling sites draw visitors throughout the dry season.
The duty-free status is a genuine draw too: alcohol, chocolate and general shopping are noticeably cheaper here than on the Malaysian mainland, which makes Langkawi a popular stop before or after an island-hopping trip.

Langkawi Highlights
Langkawi Cable Car
Langkawi Sky Bridge
Langkawi Sky Bridge is a curved pedestrian bridge which is 125 meter-long and 1.8 meter-wide. The 660 meters-high above sea level bridge was completed in 2005 and was designed as a curved walkway to maximize the viewing experience. The bridge can be reached by taking a cable car first to the top where a lift called Skyglide will take you from the top station to the Sky Bridge.
Eagle Square (Dataran Lang)
Eagle Square is one of the best manmade attractions in Langkawi. It is a large sculpture of an eagle posed as if it’s about to fly. Some people say that the island’s name (Langkawi) means the island of the reddish-brown eagle, the Malay word (Helang) means eagle, and (Kawi) is a red stone used as a chalk. This statue is 12 meter-tall located at the southeast corner of Pulau.

What are the tourist seasons ?
Phuket Ferry :
Phuket really just has two seasons, which are known as "high season" and "low season" (or "green season"). During the low season months (May- September), boat numbers are reduced. During the high season (October - April), boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options.
Ferry Samui :
There are three distinct weather seasons on the tropical island of Koh Samui: the dry season (December until February), the hot season (March until August) and the rainy season (September until November).
Bali Ferry :
Bali actually has a variety of tourist periods, notably around the Balinese New Year, 15 December - 15 January, and 1 June - 30 September. During these high traffic periods, boats to the surrounding islands are increased so you will have some more options. The quieter periods are between 16 January - 30 April and 1 October - 14 December historically.
Will bad weather affect my travels?
Ferries are large and can usually operate in the rain, except in extremely bad weather. During storms or strong winds, the journey may take a little longer than usual.
Speedboats are more likely to be canceled than ferries. If a trip is canceled due to bad weather, you can choose to receive a refund or reschedule. Please note that refunds for bad weather are only issued if the ferry operator cancels the trip.
On rough days, we recommend bringing motion sickness medication and taking it about 20 minutes before boarding if you are prone to seasickness. Boat staff may also provide Dramamine upon request, but you will need to remain indoors during rough conditions. On sunny and calm days, the sun deck is open for passengers to enjoy the weather.
What's the boarding process on the day of my trip?
At the pier named on your ticket, look for the staff of the ferry operator listed on your ticket as well. Please present your e-ticket (QR code) from your phone or other device—they’ll provide you with a sticker and/or boarding pass and direct you to your boat. Most piers have staff available to help load your luggage. In Koh Samui, staff are usually stationed at booths near the boarding area; at other locations, they’re typically near the boats, wearing their company uniforms.
When will I receive my ticket confirmation?
After completing your online booking, your reservation will remain in “Pending” status until it is processed. Once confirmed, we will send your e-ticket via email. The process is usually very quick.
On the day of travel, please present your e-ticket to the ferry staff at the relevant booking counter. If you do not receive your confirmation within 24 hours, contact us immediately.
What are the baggage allowances?
Your ferry e-ticket includes ferry transport, baggage fees, and handling. The free baggage allowance per person is 20–25 kg, depending on the operator. If your baggage exceeds this limit, you can pay the extra fee directly to the ferry operator in cash.
To check the baggage allowance for your specific trip, please refer to the trip details for your selected route.
