    Impressive but can be crowded
    We went in the morning which is preferable as it can get very hot and humid later in the day. However our visit coincided with a large army of people who had disembarked from a cruise ship and resulted in long lines but once on the sky can we got to the top fairly quickly. Our only criticism is the fact that you need to be quite fit and that hat the funicular broke down which meant we had to descend steps down a steep hill to get to the sky bridge . Fortunately they fixed the problem before we were ready to go back to take the sky cab down but there was an extra charge to use the funicular. Great views from the top and plenty of monkeys at the end of the sky bridge which again attracts a small charge . There are loads of art and craft shops at the base station as well as a few restaurants but is a bit touristy.
    Dear valued customer, thank you for your sincere review about Langkawi SkyCab, the number one attraction in Langkawi. It is a pleasure for us to have you here. Here is a place for you to enjoy the amazing scenery of Langkawi from the peak of Mount Machinchang. Hope you enjoy your time here. We really hope to see you again in the future and hope to see you again soon.

    A Got to Go when in Langkawi!!!
    What a great day out. We paid for the Express Lane on the Skycab as we know it gets very busy with long queues, it costs more but well worth it. The first leg very high and steep, the first stop being the centre station where you can get out and have a walk around - the views over Langkawi islands are truly great. Then the train is reboarded and this time it goes from one mountain top to another - quite scary as it is an awful long way down!! At the top there is a restaurant with more viewing stations and, reached by a very steep path down and feels even steeper going up it on the return journey, or by a little railway coach, is the Sky Bridge, which is a fantastic walkway with transparent sections along the floor which give a view of some 660 metres down - boy, that's sure a long drop! Feels like the top of the world. I would not recommended the path for the infirm. The railway coach is a separate charge, and queues can be long, but well worth it.

    Awesome sky cab with great scenery
    Long queue in the morning during holiday season. Pay a fees of RM43 per adult per package. It worth to pay a visit and enjoy the scenery and excitement boarding the sky cab. There are 2 stations. I will recommend direct to the 2nd station (highest) first and when you coming down later you may stop at the 1st station.
    Dear Visitor, thank you for your sincere review about Langkawi SkyCab, the number one attraction in Langkawi. Our cable car ride will take you to the peak of Mount Machinchang to enjoy the magnificent scenery of Langkawi. To avoid the huge crowd and long queues, it is advisable for you to purchase the Express Lane ticket to save up your time. Stating in December is Malaysia school holidays and the whole month is the peak time for Langkawi Skycab. We can suggest for you to come before 9 am and after 4 pm, but also depend on crowd and group comingThere are two stations on your way up to the Top Station where you can stop by and capture your moments there. Once again, we would like to thank you for your recent visit here and hope to see you again soon

This place offers really nice views.

A few things to take note:
If possible, avoid weekends. If you are taking the evening ride, do take note that the crowd starts to build up after 3.30pm.

If you are buying tickets, do ensure that you receive a QR code for your ticket. apparently, their ticketing system only registers QR codes and not barcodes from 3rd party agents.

If your ticket doesn’t have a QR code, ensure your operator provides one else you’ll be channeled from the online booking counter to customer service and then to main counter, which was a very terrible waiting experience for us, considering we bought the express pass.

We bought the express pass (only for sky cab aka cable car ride) however the skyglide ride/nature trail and skybridge is another set of tickets (extra $$$) which can only be bought at The Central platform after taking the skycab all the eay up.

It makes us wonder why they could have the complimentary tickets to 3D art etc but they couldn’t include/provide options for the sky glide/skybridge tickets as well at the ticketing counter. We would have gladly bought the tickets together so we didn’t have to queue AGAIN at the top platform. Prob had to do w timing. They had timings for the skyglide.

It would be better if they could colour code and give the customers a time frame for them to take the skyglide back and forth, cuz honestly there wasn’t much to do once u reach the skybridge (other than appreciating the view) which wouldn’t take very long.

All in all, it was a mixed experience. the view is definitely amazing. The crowd luckily wasn’t so mad on a weekday but much can be improved in the way they run things here, especially the ticketing and the movement of the ppl.

Was there @ 14/Sep 2020 and juz wanted to share my experiences;

1) Ticket Purchase counter - line was not that long, ticket counter staff not that friendly. No greetings and detail explanation on the packages, its just like to get things done faster and go.

2) Staff at the 1st line to enter the entrance to line up - also not helpful to guide on how to wear the tag. Just standing there and looked at us till we asked.

3) Before we can line up for the cable car, we were forced to take picture and then only can proceed to the line. Surprisingly, upon reaching the line, the photos were printed and was asked to purchase, RM40/pc or RM60/ 2 pcs. Was shocked coz pics printed by them without our concern and without us to choose. All already in the photoframe. We ended up purchased the 2 pcs (same pic only with diff backgrounds)

4) Upon reaching the 1st deck, another staff taking photo of us after we came out from the cable car. Firstly we say no, but the staff said, ‘its nothing, juz taking photo’. After that we just proceed to walk around. While waiting for cable car to go further, another girl coming showed us the printed photo. We said NO coz we alraedy purchased 2 from below. The girl was kind of ‘forcing’ us to purchase, but we still dont want to. After few minutes arguments, she was saying something harsh and went off.

5) Skyglide - was told by the staff that we need to ‘walk’ to the next spot, as the skyglide is rest for 1.5hrs. So we walked thru the so called ‘jungle tracking’ route. Very steep and not advisable for elderly and family with kids. Took us about 20 mins to reach the point. While crossing it we can see the skyglide is functioning as usual, and why when we line up the staff say we need to walk? After spending half an hour on the platform, we decided to take the Skyglide instead of walking again. Need to pay RM10 per pax, and waited for almost 45 mins to get into the skyglide. No chairs, just standing in the line for almost 45mins.

Lots more to share (most negative feedback), but limited space to write. We cud conclude that Customer Service Level is OUT and also no comm between staff on whats happening at one point to another point. Totally NOT HELPFUL.

Key points: get there early (as close to the opening time as possible) and, if you can, pay the extra for either a glass bottom gondola or the express lane. Go to the skybridge quickly in order to get best pics, but note no opportunity on way down to stop at first station.

More detail: arrive as close to opening time as you can. Pay to be able to jump the queues (express ticket, glass bottom or VIP gondola). Stop at the first station briefly (as you cannot get off on the way down) and take pictures on the cantilever viewing platform. Then head straight to the top and get your ticket for the sky bridge and head straight there (either on the nature walk or by the skybus thing). This way you will be one of only a few and will get great pics. Then walk back slowly through the nature walk and explore the top (second station) before heading back down. Then spend time at the bottom looking at such things as the 3D art (really good!) and 4D short film (needs re-calibrating). Food choice is wide and reasonable in price. Lots of taxis avail at exit (including Grab taxis).

We tried to visit last year but due to strong wind the SkyCab wasn’t working. This year we’ve been lucky. It’s been a low season now, so there were no queue for tickets nor for the SkyCab. Everything is quite well organized, the staff makes people to group up to 6 pax per cabin.

The ticketing office, signage, instruction and entrance were messy. We spent a total of 2.5 hours for the skycab, skyglide and skybridge, but 2 hours was queueing.

I bought ticket of skyglide RM16 (connection between upper platform and skybridge) just because I am coming with my family elderly, ended up they waited 30 mins each way while walking the nature trail (RM6) took 5 mins only.

The upper platform was designed too small to accommodate that many tourist. People are squeezing and rubbing shoulder the whole, not a relaxing experience.

The view from the Skybridge was amazing! The staffs mostly were helpful and informative however some staffs were a bit off (has strong angry vibes). We went on Sunday where not much people around which was good as we managed to stroll around peacefully.

Their souvenir shop is called Skyboutique, available at top station and at Skycab exit gate. For photos, they have few spots at each station with photographers and printing booths. We only got our photos taken on the Skybridge where we bought the printed photos in paper frame and bag tag as souvenirs. Free toilet is provided at top station with tissue and soap available. However, you need to pay to use public toilet at oriental village.

The ticket sold was basic 4-in-1 (Skycab, Skydome, Skyrex, 3D art), with free entrance to Skybridge (promo price), but we paid for Skyglide RM10/pax (promo price) since I'm pregnant and not suitable for nature walk. For us, we didn't go to Skyrex and 3D art. We went to Skydome but it's just a disappointment :(

Overall, the experience was great. We spent around 5 hours there leisurely enjoying the views and taking photos. We bought Express Lane tickets but it didn't bring much difference than those who aren't, better bought it during peak season only haha.

As recommendation, it would be better if customers have the choice to just pay for the Skycab and Skybridge/Skyglide combo instead of paying for other unnecessary entrance fees.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our ride on the SkyCab. The cabins are for up to 6 people at a time. We made the most of our time by getting out at the little station at the top of the 1st section so we could appreciate views of the steepest section that we had just come up. If you want to do that you must get out on the way up as you can't exit the SkyCab at this station on the way down. When you get to the top there is quite a bit to see with viewing platforms right at the top of the hill, though these are only accessible by stairs. The views of Langkawi island from the top are spectacular and well worth the effort. There is a small cafe, souvenir shop and toilet facilities which are handy if you are spending a bit of time here. You can also visit the Skybridge at the top, but there is a small extra charge for that. The ride down is particularly exciting when you get to the steepest part, reputedly the steepest cable car in the world!

This is the worlds steepest cable car with an inclination of 42 degrees. There are three stations. The journey starts form the bottom most station to middle station from there it takes a turn to reach the peak of Gunung Machinchang,
which is second highest peak of Langkawi.
You can disembark at one station, take your own time exploring it and hop on again on the sky cab to visit another hill top.The total length is 2.2 Km.
There are two types of gondolas one normal and the other one with glass bottom.The normal gondola costs around 40 MYR. I have visited this twice once in Jan other time in May. Both the times the queue was manageable. No need to buy express lane ticket.
During Ramadan month it closes a bit early in the evening.

We purchased tickets over the phone as soon as SkyCab opened and travelled there within 15 minutes to validate them. After being opened for 30 minutes the que was already extensive. Our relief at being given a specific time slot to board disappeared during the subsequent additional 2.5 hour wait for when our timeslot group was called. We didn't realise that people in the Express Land were essentially put to the front of everyone else, which presumably pushed all other ticket holders back. The only positive was that the other people also queing were patient, kind with no pushing. Once we made it onto the SkyCab we discovered there were also long ques to get back on at the mid way point and at the top. We just didn't bother to get off as by then it was the hottest part of the day and with two children under 7 and a 70yo we just didn't want to stand around in the heat anymore. If the ticketing and boarding process was made more efficient then I would recommend this.

Dear WazyK, we would like to enlighten you that during peak season, the volume of visitors that visit Langkawi SkyCab increased. Hence, the long queues occurred. The Express Lane ticket holder has the privilege to have a quicker and shorter lane at stations for immediate boarding which suits it name; Express Lane. Thank you for your time.

To an unpleasant trip to SkyBridge. At TOP we did not purchase the glide to SkyBridge cause it was raining and a lot of people was up there. Really don’t understand how they could let so many people up there with no social distancing RMCO disaster there. We went down to sky bridge and it was a steep pathway did want to go up via that way it was tiring enough to climb down. So wanted to buy ticket to go up alone it was rm10 also per single trip. The staff did want to sell us the ticket and encouraging us to walk back by saying there is alot of people up there we can’t send people up easily. Need to wait for the glide to come down. So they were waiting for people to buy the glide ticket and come down full pack inside the cable car in order to send another full pack load up. Sick management never think of RMCO order Nor did they think of peoples safety.Will never go to SkyBridge any more.
