Langkawi → Tanjung Rhu: key facts

Getting from Langkawi Airport (LGK) to Tanjung Rhu takes about 30 min by car on an empty road (30–40 min in heavy traffic) over 21 km via 112 and 111. Our private transfer costs €30 for a car with 1–3 passengers or €45 for a van with 4–8 — the vehicle price you see is the price you pay at booking.

On arrival: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the passenger terminal, after baggage reclaim (and immigration and customs for international flights), holding a sign with your name. If the flight is late, the driver adjusts to the real landing time; 60 minutes of waiting are included and help with the luggage is part of the service.

Tanjung Rhu is a cape on the north coast of Langkawi, about 21 km by road from the airport. The route heads east from the airport and follows Jalan Ulu Melaka (route 112) across the centre of the island, then turns north onto Jalan Tanjung Rhu (route 111), passing villages, paddy fields and the limestone hills of the north-east. The last stretch is a quiet road through forest ending at the beach and the resorts on the cape.

Tanjung Rhu has one of the calmest beaches on the island, a long sandy bay lined with casuarina trees and facing limestone islets that can be reached on foot at low tide. The area is quieter than the south-west, with a few large beach resorts and little else, so most visitors come for the beach, sunset views and boat trips. The mangrove channels of the Kilim Geoforest Park lie a short drive to the east.

Public transport: Malaysia Airports, the airport operator, does not list any scheduled public bus or rail service from Langkawi International Airport, and the island has no railway; travellers without a car arrange road transport from the arrivals hall.
