Getting There:
By Air:
The Langkawi International Airport ( +60 04 955 1322/ http://www.senaiairport.com ) provides convenient and regular service from mainland Malaysia and Singapore with Malaysia Airlines ( http://www.malaysiaairlines.com ) and Asia Air ( +603 8660 4343/ http://www.airasia.com ).
It is most recommended to prearrange a shuttle pickup with your resort to get to and from the Airport. Taxis are also readily available in front of the terminal.
By Train:
If traveling by rail, there is an overnight train from Kuala Lumpur ( +60 03 2730 2000 ) that stops at Alor Setar Railway Station ( +60 04 731 4045 ). From there, grab a taxi to the Kuala Kedah jetty.
By Ferry:
Ferry service is provided from the jetty at Kuala Kedah and arrives at the terminal in Kuah. The trip takes a little under two hours. Ferry companies include:
LADA Holdings ( +60 04 762 3823 )
Langkawi Ferry Services ( +6004 762 4524 )
Nautica Ferries ( +60 04 762 1201 )
There is also convenient ferry service from Penang. The Bahagia Express ( +60 04 263 1943 ) provides a morning and afternoon speedboat from Weld Quay in Georgetown.
Getting Around:
Taxis are probably the easiest way to get around Langkawi. Pick one up at the airport, main jetty, taxi stand in Kuah or at major hotels or call for a pickup ( +60 04 966 5249 ).
Car and motorcycle rental is also a popular option for transportation. Most rental offices are located at the airport or main jetty.
