The Langkawi Sky Bridge is a dramatic curved pedestrian bridge suspended high above the rainforest, reached by a steep cable car ride from Oriental Village up Mount Machinchang. The views across Langkawi's 99 islands and out to Thailand on a clear day make it one of the archipelago's most popular attractions.

Frequently asked questions
How do I get to the Langkawi Sky Bridge?
The Langkawi SkyCab (cable car) departs from Oriental Village and climbs to near the summit of Mount Machinchang, from where a short walk leads to the Sky Bridge.
Is the Sky Bridge suitable for people afraid of heights?
The bridge is high (around 100 metres above ground) and can sway slightly - those uncomfortable with heights may find it challenging, though the cable car itself offers similarly dramatic views.
What else is at Oriental Village?
Shops, restaurants and the base station for the cable car, set around a small lake at the foot of the mountain.
When is the best time to visit for views?
Mornings tend to have clearer skies before afternoon clouds roll in; the attraction can close temporarily in poor weather or high winds.
Is the cable car ride itself worth it without visiting the Sky Bridge?
Yes - the cable car ascent is one of the steepest in the world and offers sweeping views over the rainforest and surrounding islands regardless.
Traveler reviews
★★★★★
The cable car ride alone was worth it - incredibly steep with views over the rainforest and islands. The Sky Bridge at the top felt like walking in the clouds.
Rachel K. · March 2024
★★★★☆
Go early to avoid clouds rolling in - we had perfect visibility across to Thailand in the morning. Seven Wells Waterfall nearby was a nice add-on.
Faisal A. · January 2024
★★★★★
A bit of a queue for the cable car but moved steadily. The Sky Bridge views over Langkawi's islands were some of the best of our whole trip.
