Boat alternative via the mainland

If you prefer a boat, travel overland to Kuala Perlis or Kuala Kedah and take the ferry from there. The adult local fare is RM15.00 between Langkawi and Kuala Perlis and RM20.00 between Langkawi and Kuala Kedah, and passengers must be inside the ferry terminal at least 60 minutes before departure. On 15 October 2026, sailings from Kuala Perlis to Langkawi left at 11:30, 13:30, 15:30 and 17:30.[1]

Airport planning

Penang International Airport is in Bayan Lepas, south of the main George Town hotel areas, so allow time for the ride there. A 35-minute flight still means check-in, security and baggage collection on both ends, so do not plan a tight connection on the same day.
