Ferries reach Langkawi Jetty Point from Kuala Perlis in about 1 h 15 min and from Kuala Kedah in about 1 h 45 min.

There is little public transport. Visitors use taxis, which gather at the airport, the main jetty and Kuah, or rent cars and motorbikes. Cenang and Tengah beaches are walkable.
When to go
December to February is the dry season. The rainy season runs from March to November.
Local tip
Rental cars and motorbikes are easy to find at the airport and in Cenang. Check the vehicle, take a good helmet and ask exactly what the insurance covers.
