Living it up in Langkawi

Scratch any thoughts of languid lounge-abouts in Langkawi. The island archipelago off the west coast of Malaysia offers visitors action-packed adventures on land, sea and air.

Scratch any thoughts of languid lounge-abouts in Langkawi. The island archipelago off the west coast of Malaysia offers visitors action-packed adventures on land, sea and air.

Watch TravelSSBD, Toggle’s travel show, as the intrepid host, 987FM DJ Sonia Chew, conquers her fear of heights to take on one of the world’s steepest (at a 42° incline) cable car rides to Langkawi’s Sky Bridge.

The magnificent views of lush flora, occasional fauna and the various natural formations from the vantage point on the Sky Bridge is bound to sweep you off your feet. Just be careful not to fall.

After her heady feat, watch Sonia come down to earth and trek to Langkawi’s Seven Wells Waterfall, named because of the seven intertwined waterfalls on the hill’s surface where water cascades from one pool to another.

Local folklore has it that fairies were unable to resist the rustic beauty of the seven pools and made them their bathing place. Join Sonia as she embarks on her quest to become the eighth fairy.

The spirited host also tries her hand at mangrove safari kayaking. She ventures into South-east Asia’s first UNESCO-endorsed geopark — Kilim Karst Geoforest Park. Follow her as she gets up close and personal with natural formations and wildlife.
