Langkawi Sky Bridge Tours & Excursions

The Basics

The Sky Bridge is accessible via the Panorama Langkawi SkyCab, which takes visitors up to the top of Gunung Machinchang. After disembarking at the top station, visitors take a short walk to the Sky Bridge. The bridge is open from 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM, with extended hours during peak seasons. The walkway is supported by a central pylon, and visitors can enjoy stunning 360-degree views of Langkawi’s mountains, beaches, and nearby islands. An elevator is available to transport visitors to the Sky Bridge, making it accessible for most visitors.

Things to Know Before You Go

While the Sky Bridge offers spectacular views, it is important to note that it may be closed during inclement weather, such as high winds or rain, for safety reasons. There is a small fee to access the bridge, in addition to the Panorama Langkawi SkyCab ticket. The bridge can get crowded, especially during weekends and public holidays, so it's advisable to visit early in the day. Comfortable shoes are recommended as the area around the bridge may require a bit of walking.

How to Get There

The Langkawi Sky Bridge is located at the peak of Gunung Machinchang, accessible via the Panorama Langkawi SkyCab. Visitors will need to take the cable car from the base station at Oriental Village. Once at the top station, a short walk and elevator ride will take you to the Sky Bridge. Taxis and Grab services are the easiest way to reach the SkyCab station, and ample parking is available at the base station.

When to Get There

The best time to visit the Sky Bridge is early in the morning or late in the afternoon when the weather is cooler, and the views are clearer. Weekdays are less crowded, offering a more peaceful experience. During the monsoon season, heavy rains and high winds can limit visibility and cause the Sky Bridge to close, so it’s essential to check the weather forecast before planning your visit. Sunset views from the Sky Bridge are particularly stunning, offering a magical experience with the island's silhouette against the setting sun.
