Why choose ferry & my recommendation
Among a variety of modes of transport available nowadays, visiting Langkawi has never been actually easier. Luckily, Malaysia’s initial ferry service at high speed begins operating from Kuala Kedah terminal to Langkawi on July next year soon.
All ferries connect Langkawi to its neighbouring island of Penang - one of Malaysia’s most populous island cities. Therefore, taking the ferry to Langkawi is now easier than before, especially when there are various ferry routes and services offering the island’s waterways.
