How to Get to Langkawi for the School Holiday

Apart from itinerary & budgeting, transportations could be included as one of the most essential things you need to think about before planning to have a trip in Langkawi.

1. Bus

Even though Langkawi is known as one of the most popular areas in Malaysia among the tourists, sadly, finding buses as public transportations is kinda difficult. Or even maybe, you almost cannot find public bus services in Langkawi. If you are used to seeing buses on Langkawi's road, it might be tour buses.

Not only that, you almost cannot find bus stops while in Langkawi. It can be said that choosing buses as transportation in Langkawi is not a great idea, especially, the bus timing (if it exists) is not suitable for tourists.

2. Taxi

Taxis can be said to be one of the most convenient transportation options for tourists. You can find taxis almost in every corner of the island, especially near the tourist destinations. However, it might not be easy to find taxis during early morning or even midnights.

To go around the island, using taxi may cost you around RM 18 for fifteen minutes ride to everywhere you wanted to go. Explore the Kuah or Cenang areas might cost you starts from RM 5 to RM 10. Even though a taxi's cost is kinda expensive rather than any transportation that exists in the island, a taxi also offers more safety, comfort, and of course, more privacy.

3. Rent A Car

If you are used to the areas of Langkawi, choosing to rent a car while on this island also can be an excellent option. Moreover, car rentals also offer cheaper costs rather than using taxis. Besides, you can also go anywhere you want to go without additional cost beside the cost of car rentals for a day.

There are so many rental companies you could find easily, especially through Traveloka. Traveloka also offers various car types and ranges of cost you have to spend.

4. Rent A Motorbike

However, this transportation won’t be the best option for you, especially if you come to Langkawi with family and children. Motorbike rentals in Langkawi cost you around RM 25 to RM 40, depending on how many days you are going to plan to rent the motorbike. Remember to use a helmet for your shake safety!
