Langkawi (Kuah Jetty) Guide

Langkawi (Kuah Jetty) Ferry Port

Situated around 30 km from the mainland of Malaysia, Langkawi is an archipelago consisting of 99 islands laying on the Andaman Sea. The only ferry route from the port is to Penang, one of the larger Malaysian cities which is found on the northwest coast. Langkawi is a holiday destination for tourists that are intent on enjoying an active few days in the warm weather among stunning views. Langkawi Beach is particularly popular with tourists, especially during the summer months; jet skiing is available to the more adventurous traveller, whereas sailing cruises may provide a better option for those just looking to relax. Away from the beach, there are art and craft shops offering local, traditional pieces or for a cheap, productive day out there is Kilim Nature Park relatively close by. A tour group offer the chance to experience the beauty of the park at a leisurely pace with a knowledgeable tour guide. There is very little of any interest close to the port itself, so it is best advised to get a taxi to any desired destination. There is a taxi rank waiting directly outside the port to pick up passengers – it is possible to negotiate a price for a whole day with a taxi driver for convenient and easy transportation.

What is there to do in Penang?

Bangkok may have the hectic party reputation and Tokyo may exude a cool, modern edge, yet there aren’t many places in Asia that offer more than Penang. Stunningly beautiful national parks, bustling markets and uniquely captivating coastlines make the region one of the fastest growing tourist destinations in the world. The alluring landscape may provide some of the stimulation, yet the appeal of Penang lies in its capital city – George Town. Earning a place in Unesco’s heritage site, the colourful history of Malaysia is embodied by the abundance of extraordinary architecture and specialist museums. The Pinang Perankan Mansion is the standout attraction in a city drenched in culture, whilst the Wonderfood Museum showcases the country’s rich culinary past. Aside from the museums, the religious element synonymous with Penang still flows through the city; The Dharmikarama Burmese Temple is well worth a day out and can be empowering once among the remarkable structural designs. As spectacular is it may be, the temple may not be to everyone’s taste, so for a more active adventure, Penang Hill offers breathtaking views that are unmatched throughout the city. Head there in the evening on the railway ride to really witness the beauty of Penang.

How do visitors get around Penang?

Many choose to walk around George Town, though it is advised to carry sun lotion at all times and to leave fairly early in the morning. Alternatively, there is a bus service in operation, taxis readily available and rental car companies.
