Located around 45 kilometers (27 miles) from Kuah is this geological marvel. Telaga Tujuh (Seven Wells Waterfall) is a spot where a freshwater stream cascades down about 90 meters (295 feet) via a series of seven natural pools. The climb from the lower falls becomes increasingly scenic the higher you go. The rocks can be extremely slippery, so care is needed. Legend has it that fairies used to come down to frolic and bathe in these ponds thus giving it healing properties.
Nestled at one end of the Langkawi gondola ride, the magnificent Langkawi Sky Bridge is a structure to marvel at. One of the most arresting landmarks of the scenic island of Pulau Langkawi, it covers a distance of 410 feet (124.96 meters), featuring a sharp bend above the summit of Mount Mat Cinchang. Visitors can access this spectacular attraction through the Langkawi aerial tram. The ride begins at Oriental Village, close to Pantai Kok. The climax of Don: The Chase Begins Again, an Indian blockbuster, was filmed at Langkawi Sky Bridge.
Formally known as the Langkawi Bird Park, the Langkawi Wildlife Park is home to a large variety of animals, specifically many birds including rare species. Visitors can admire over 2,500 birds in various enclosed habitats. Moreover, visitors can also marvel at the display for crystals in this park.
Rising to a height of 881 meters, Gunung Raya is the tallest natural feature on Langkawi. The mountain is believed to be the cursed form of a giant, known as Mat Raya, who once lived on the island. Untouched and covered with dense jungle, it has become the favorite destination for the adventurous. Trekking from a recreational site such as Lubuk Sembilang to the peak is simply magnificent but taking a guide along is advisable. A telecommunications station is accessible via a small road leading to the top.
This massive, beautifully landscaped theme park, sitting on reclaimed land, is really an open-air museum or gallery. The four artificial lakes and seventeen story-telling monuments with detailed captions bring to life the mystifying events and romantic legends that made Langkawi famous. If you have limited time to cover all Langkawi's historic sites, a visit here is sufficient as all the famous legends and myths are on display. A buggy is available for hire if the walk is too taxing. Bring a picnic basket along, as this spot, overlooking scenic Kuah Harbour, is excellent for picnics.
Found on the superbly landscaped beachfront of Pantai Cenang, Underwater World is one of the largest marine and freshwater aquaria in Asia.

Here you can observe sharks, stingrays, huge turtles and other sea creatures swim by, separated from you only by the laminated clear glass walls of the tunnel.
