    Langkawi SkyGlide: Your Connection to Stunning Views & the Sky Bridge

    What is SkyGlide Langkawi?

    SkyGlide Langkawi is a glass-encased elevator-like cabin transport system located at Panorama Langkawi in Malaysia. It serves as a convenient and faster alternative for reaching the Langkawi Sky Bridge, a curved pedestrian bridge offering panoramic views from over 600 meters above sea level.

    While a short walking trail is available to access the Sky Bridge, SkyGlide provides a more comfortable and quicker option, particularly if you find hikes challenging.  The 12-person cabin travels along an inclined rail system, offering glimpses of the surrounding Mount Machincang and its lush landscapes during the brief ride.

    Read on to learn all about SkyGlide Langkawi, timings, location and other tips to get the most out of your visit.
