Cycling in Langkawi, Malaysia is all the rage

Langkawi has about 99 stunning natural geological sites, including three geoparks. While Langkawi has long been seen as a tropical paradise with its fine white beaches, azure seas, and lush green golf courses, few know it’s also a fantastic island to explore by bike. Many hotels offer bicycle rentals for around 10 to 30 Malaysian Ringgit per day. Some local travel agencies also organize cycling tours, taking visitors through shaded paths, rural trails, riverbanks, and fields that buses can’t reach.

Like many places in Malaysia, Langkawi has many smooth paths. Travelers can slow down, enjoy the gentle sea breeze or the sounds of insects and birds, and pedal along leisurely and effortlessly, immersing themselves in nature in a low-impact way. Recommended hidden cycling routes by biking enthusiasts start at Cenang Beach, following the coastline to enjoy Langkawi’s unspoiled and less-commercialized scenery. Along the way, you’ll pass a small hill overlooking the ferry terminal, several beautiful beaches such as Tanjung Rhu, as well as famous spots like the Durian Perangin Waterfall, the Perdana Gallery, and the legendary Tomb of Princess Mahsuri.
