Langkawi Cable Car Ride and Oriental Village Morning Tour

Langkawi, Malaysia

Take a cable car ride to the top of Mount Mat Chinchang for breathtaking views of Langkawi and visit the Oriental Village which is a shopping zone built around a beautiful lake against the scenic mountain backdrop.

Upon arrival at the Oriental Village, ascend Mount Mat Chinchang Hill by cable car for a bird's eye view of Langkawi. The cable car has the longest suspension in the world between two stations. It was built without constructing any roads through the jungle.

At highest tower (72 meters), enjoy the cool air and the view of the highlands before proceeding down to the Oriental Village. At the village, take time to shop at various outlets and enjoy your choice of cuisine for lunch, (at own expense) before returning to your hotel.

USD $59.00

My mother and I were picked up from our hotel by our friendly tour guide and taken to the Cable Car/Oriental village in the comfort of an air conditioned vehicle. The tour guide was friendly and helpful-providing us with some interesting information about the history and culture of Langkawi along the way. We did get a bit lost when meeting him at the end of the tour which was our fault as we went to the wrong carpark, but he came and found us. He also made recommendations for other activities for us to do in Langkawi and even drove us to Langkawi Geopark where we did a river cruise-and arranged for a taxi to take us back to our hotel afterwards. _br/_ The panoramic views from the cable car are breathtaking-this and the oriental village are both must sees if you go to Langkawi. There are several quaint little souvenir shops and eating places in the Oriental Village. Its a great half day tour and I would highly recommend it.

the tour was very good and we really enjoyed, specially the cable car and the 3d paint art museum _br/_ my comment that the wjhole tour was terribly expensive i paid for me, wife and two kids about 730 ringit, while the ticket was 55 ringit for the adult, 43 for the kid which makes about 200 ringit, 530 ringit difference just for picking and dropping off the hotel is really too much

Views to die for.

this is a rip off, would be better off getting your own taxi and paying for cable car yourself. The driver was not helpful, and provided no information, plus the oriental village is just a bunch of tourist shops selling tat.

Great views. Lovely ride very smooth. Oriental village is full of junk gifts.

Review by:   john,    July 2015
The ride itself was amazing, and we were lucky to have timed it so that we rose through the early morning mist into brilliant sunshine at the top._br/_ However, our hotel the Berjaya, was only 10 minutes walk away from the cable car, so hotel pick up was not worth paying for.

Review by:   AWN S,    June 2015
The cable car ride is excellent ! The flying bridge experience is excellent too except the temporary access to the bridge which is unsafe and inappropriate ! Again in general over priced compare to actual cost that it would cost you if you do it yourself?

Lovely tour

Review by:   Lisa S,    January 2015
Was ok but sky bridge was closed for repairs so was not worth the price paid

Review by:   Andreas S,    January 2015
There was miscommunication as we arrived on a Saturday night and the company wasn't open on the Sunday to discuss that we didn't need a shuttle as we were just staying down the road from the cable car. On the day of the tour we walked to the cable car and rang the company when they were open and explained that we were waiting there for the rest of the tour. She said the tour company has left a message with our hotel but we never got it. Regardless, when the tour man arrived he shook our hands, brought two tickets for the cable car and left. This was given to us as a honeymoon gift and was definitely not worth the money paid for it- over $100- Even if we did end up catching the shuttle.

Nothing much to say Awesome! Just a note it is worth paying the $15.00 per person extra, no wait in the long lines, this is called the express line.

Just like a taxi ! Hotel- cable car stn._br/_ Member is only me.

Review by:   Jill S,    December 2014
Our guide was no more than a taxi ride to the cable car. We weren't given express tickets so had to queue for ages with all the locals. Would have been better off doing this ourselves

Review by:   Glen T,    December 2014
May as well get a taxi.

Review by:   Kevin C,    August 2014
This was not a tour! He simply drove us there,bought our tickets and left.. We also had to pay extra for coming to the Andaman resort. We could of easily got a driver if we needed one.

Exciting exprience

Review by:   Brian L,    January 2014
Excellent view of the area! However, the bridge was closed. That should have been mention to us before and we should not have paid full price for something that wasn't included.

Review by:   Faisal I,    January 2014
Tour guide left us at entrance with the tickets, did not explain anything, and the waiting time to enter the cable car was 1 hour.

We were collected from the hotel by taxi and continued to the cable car,the cable car should not be missed

Review by:   Ian H,    July 2013
I feel I am misleading readers by giving this trip one-star. It is an absolutely scam and a total rip off.

Review by:   Grady S,    April 2013
A bit cloudy on our cable car ride, but still worth it. Nice to get a good overall view of the island.

Review by:   John P,    November 2012
This is a must do on the island . Spectacular views (on a clear day) and not for the faint-hearted or if you are afraid of heights.

Review by:   Osama H,    October 2012
it's very amazing place

Review by:   Muna A,    September 2012
We really loved the tour! And our driver was very nice and quite informative!!

Review by:   Nadine T,    March 2012
Fantastic driver for hotel pick up / drop off, excellent knowledge and stories (Joe we loved you - they should pay you more). The cable car ride was great, fantastic to see a different aspect of the island. The oriental village was fantastic and a good place for easy shopping and fish pedicure at Anjung Spa (RM18). This is a must do activity while staying in Langkawi.

Review by:   John W,    December 2011
Good Tour but it was extremely busy and the wait was very long to even get onto the cable car. There is an express Lane and with the limited time we had, it would have been nice to have the option of upgrading to "Express".

Review by:   Anwar Kamal S,    November 2011
We were expecting something better. The tour guide was actuall a local driver with a very little abiltiy to talk English. In fact there was no tour guide because the drive left us alone from the parking. He was not even wearing safety belt during driving and when asked, he said not needed?? (strange traffic rules in Langkawi).Due to bad weather nothing was visible at the top. Infact we spent more time in the transitiional stop because nobody told us that there was one more upward drive ffor cable car. The driver asked us to come within 1 hour and we finished whole tour in just two hours. In our way back to hotel, he stopped us at wrong KFC which was too far from our hotel (Wstin).We asked him to stop the one at jetty point. It was a total disappointing tour by all means in Langkawi which have lots of fun and attractions otherwise

Review by:   Sally-Jane S,    November 2011
Bad weather, low cloud cover, no visibility-but a very spooky atmosphere which made it enjoyable

Review by:   Coral,    November 2011
Don't miss this - it's easy to catch a taxi and buy your own ticket. _br/_ We were surprised that it simply wasn't open for several days for maintenance, when we wanted to go back again.

The cable car is fantastic, a definite must do.

Review by:   O S A,    December 2010
Very professional and helpful tour guide. Even organized to buy my ticket and send it to my hotel room for a return for the cable car ride as the cable car was not operational on my scheduled date

Review by:   Paulene G,    October 2010
Excellent

Review by:   Louise S,    September 2010
Well worth it! you cannot go to Langkawi without doing this.

Review by:   Nicole F,    August 2010
Disappointing- weather not suitable for cable car, so driver took us to other sites we had already visited or were not interested in. No refund offered.

Review by:   Inga M,    July 2010
I was the only one on this trip and the driver was so brilliant, even asked if I wanted to visit other parts of the island. The Cable car ride was very good - once you get to the top make sure you take the track through the rainforest to get to the "skybridge" for even more beautiful views.

Review by:   Anonymous,   India, June 2010
Very good service. But found it slightly overpriced as compared to local rates.

Review by:   Anne M,   Australia, January 2010
Spectacular views, wonderful ride, but long wait in queue to board cable car. It's a must do activity in Langkawi. Oriental village very touristy. Shopping not as good as at other places in Langkawi.

Review by:   Mohammed B,   Saudi Arabia, November 2009
The cable car ride is a Must See when visiting lLngkawi. View from the last station and from the bridge is sublime!

Review by:   John C,   United Kingdom, September 2009
A first class trip, very informative and friendly driver who knew his island well, very informative. The cable car was something we will always remember but what a difference a good driver makes. Highly recommended!

Review by:   Chris M,   Australia, September 2009
Viator side of things were absolutely great! However, we had 3 different people from the actual tour company confirming that our pickup time. All saying different times. Once picked up at 10am, our "guide" literally said nothing the whole entire drive. Only when prompted would he respond, generally with 1 or 2 words. When we finally got to the Cable Car Oriental Village, he just pointed to where we should be going. I asked him for more information and he just gave us the two coupons basically. I would suggest that such a professional outfit such as Viator change local tour provider. Just some feedback that I know you would appreciated. Please do not hesitate to contact me should you need anything else.
