What is the ferry trip like from Langkawi to Penang?
Is it better to travel by plane or ferry?
Appreciate advice from anyone who has travelled this route. Reply to this

Hello Ros, and welcome to the Forum!
I've been researching the same journey, as the ferry heading from Penang to Langkawi arrives near lunch (a good time to make the most of expensive accommodation) but coming back from Langkawi to Penang, it was quite late (arrives late afternoon), which didn't suit me at all. Would be interesting to hear any comments too.
In the end I've decided to skip Penang and will just fly to Langkawi to KL, mostly due to timetable difficulties and the accompanying time constraints.

Decided to book the 2.30pm ferry trip as it only costs 60 ringetts about $20AUD compared to about $90 in the plane. Hopefully it will be relaxing during the 2 3/4 hr trip.
Hope you have a great trip. Reply to this

You too! The boat seems a comfortable way to travel, but the times just didn't suit me in the planning. Reply to this
