        The temple was beautiful and the monkeys were friendly, loved the boat ride and the firefly. Our driver went out of his way to help.

        Good ride on the boat but unhappy with how wildlife attractef
        The boat trip was great but didn’t like the look of the fish farm with the captive Ray in one small area being man handled by all and sundry. It would have been good to have seen the eagles and kites without them being fed so frequently from the boats. Lunch was ok.

        We had a great tour with Geson. He was very informative and we got to drive to the top of Kek Loc Si! Unfortunately we didn’t get to do the Penang Hill because it was closed.

        Amazing Nature, closeup eagles, great guide, fun captain.
        We recently joined this mangrove tour in Langkawi and had a fantastic experience overall. The guide was knowledgeable, engaging, and made the entire journey both informative and enjoyable. Watching the eagles soar and dive up close was absolutely breathtaking — a true highlight of the trip. The captain clearly enjoyed navigating the boat, making the ride even more fun with his skillful and enthusiastic driving. The included meal was simple but good. However, we had some issues with the transportation service. We had to wait about an hour for pick-up at the start of the tour, and the return trip was delayed by an additional 20 minutes. This was a bit inconvenient and is the reason we are giving 4 out of 5 stars instead of a perfect score. Despite the minor transport hiccups, we would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Langkawi!

        Spot On
        Was very lucky to have this guided tour on my own. My guide, Raj, was just perfect. Honest, polite, chatty, attentive and a good sense of humour. The waterfalls and springs were lovely to see. If I was in more of an "immersive" mood, I would've dipped in but the weather was poor. The caves were an incredible spectacle to see, well worth the journey. A few hidden surprises of the fabric shop and metallic factory were a great addition to the tour, also. Lunch was very tasty, always good to try new food in new ways. Dropped off with no hassle, even when the traffic started to get busy. Highly recommend!

        Not worth the long drive !!!!
        Dreadful driving throughout the trip. Tailgating at 140 kph is absurd and dangerous Still doing that speed in pouring rain must rate as suicidal Felt rushed throughout and I would question if the journey is worth the visit to the sanctuary. The knowledgeable ranger promised on the island hardly spoke at all and had to be asked questions before giving dubious answers. His overall knowledge seemed poor The trip to the cave gave insufficient time to really explore the whole temple having been told we must return in an hour but being urged to return quicker. We took our time and returned after an hour where upon the driver disappeared and left us hanging around for a further 30 minutes Think carefully before booking this trip it is not worth the money and if they all drive like our guide then someone will end up dead

        Terrible experience and tour-guide.
        A tourist-trap. Tour is not well planned. No proper explanation of sites was given. The guide was biased to a few vendor shops that she wanted us to visit (for obvious reasons). The visits were rushed and mal-coordinated. She kept insisting on getting tips several times. She was also biased against Muslims and Muslim culture (she didn't know that we were Muslims ourselves). A terrible experience in my humble view. Find another company.

        Skip this sad place.
        The saddest place ever. The elephants are obviously under stress as they rhythmically bob and weave, they have nowhere to go dispite advertising 280 acres and everything is just in a small cage. The tiger looks like it’s bored to death and lives in a 40x30’ pen. This is awful. What zoos looked like in the US 30 years ago. Skip it.

        Worst tour ever
        This was the worst tour I have ever done. There was 3 adults squashed into a small budget old car and another 1 adult in the back for the whole day. It was very uncomfortable. Very inadequate. The hot springs were just in the middle of town and small not what I was expecting It cost 4 MR to get in for the car. We went to the waterfalls only cost to get in was parking. No cost to get into the Caves. The pewter tour lady spoke so fast you couldn't understand anything she said. No lunch provided but given 50MR to get lunch for 2 which didn't cover it at 4pm which was too late No water provided. No schedule. Not professional at all and we have been on many tours. This was not worth the money at all but I'm sure you made plenty. Won't be using you again.

      We enjoyed Batu caves and Sky rides as well. The Cable car riding was amazing for my kids. Really a good weather which could helped to observe the areal view of the Genting. But still certain fun making activities are under construction and the charges for each games in the play area is affordable.

      Mr. Radwan was on time to pick us. He was helpful and ask if we needed anything during the trip. The car is nice and tidy. Batu Cave was crowded as many people were there to pray other than tourists. Genting was really crowded. Although we spent more than 3 hours there, the place needs a whole day to view it all. My child wanted to visit the strawberry farm, unfortunately, we didn’t get there as our guide told us that there are no fruits at this time of the year and only we would see the farm.

      Me and my family consisting of my spouse and daughter booked a Genting Highland Day trip with Skyway Cable Car ride, we had a great time, thanks to the punctuality and patience of our car driver Mr. Albinhar or Al as he wanted us to call him. He arrived as per schedule at 9.30 a.m. and he was courteous enough to text us 15 minutes before he came to the Hotel. Even though he politely told us that he is not a professional tour guide, he was kind enough to answer a few questions that we asked him.

      Even though the Batu Caves was not included in the itinerary, he took us to the Batu Caves temple complex on our request and allowed us to have a comfortable period of time to visit the temple in a very relaxed manner.

      As soon as we reached the starting point of the Genting Highland Cable Car, he made it a point, to accompany us till the reception area and texted our Cable Car ride tickets and informed us the place where he would pick us up, once we came down.

      After a couple of hours trip up to the Genting Highland, we returned and Al was there to pick us up (as I had texted him, on the way down) and drove us down to our hotel.

      As the Gondola Ride was not working, the travel agency refunded us the amount which was collected from us towards the Gondola Ride.

      Overall, it was a great and pleasurable trip.

      Before I start my rant, i would like to say that the driver/ guide tried his utmost to stay calm. 2 young ladies joined the tour and immediately started asking the guide to change the tour to suit them, completely ignoring anybody else (me). He refused and advised them to book a private tour which would enable them to change the itinerary. At the Genting Highlands, they decided they were not done and kept us there for an extra one and a half hours. They were unpleasant, spoke almost at the top of their voices and played music on their phone speakers. They finally accused the driver of being "hyper" when he tried to talk to them. An extremely disagreeable tour.

      Lots of great things to do. Spending a couple of day and you still could not see or do everything. Indoor Park rides start at 2PM. Outdoor Park has one entry fee all rides are free. Chinese Temple could spend a half to full day to see everything.

      We enjoyed our visit to the Genting Highlands last month. About 1800 metres above sea level we took a cable car to the top which offered Panaromic views of the adjacent rainforest. Visibility was good with few clouds thereby giving us an opportunity to enjoy the scenery. We took the glass bottom cable which is a little more expensive but helps to beat the queue.

      At the top there are many things to do including indoor and outdoor theme parks for all ages. We spent more time indoors which suited our two year old Gson. On the top there are many restaurants, shops and the adventurous can hike to explore the surrounding rainforest and enjoy the beautiful scenery.

      Prior to visiting check the weather to ensure that you have nice weather there.

      Any visit to Kuala Lumpur is incomplete without visiting this attraction.

      Our family escapade to Genting Highlands from Kuala Lumpur was a whirlwind of joy and thrills! From the breezy drive up to the cool highlands to the jaw-dropping Skyway Cable Car Ride, every moment was a blast.
      The highlight was zooming over the rainforest in the cable car, our kiddos went wild spotting waterfalls and greenery below. It was a smooth and safe ride that etched a big smile on our faces.
      At the peak, Genting Highlands unfolded a treasure trove of family activities. The Skytropolis Indoor Theme Park stole our kids' hearts with its thrilling rides and colorful aura, keeping them giggling for hours.
      A serene break at the Chin Swee Caves Temple provided a peaceful contrast to the lively park, offering a touch of culture for the little ones.
      And can we talk about the food? Oh, the food! With a range of family-friendly eateries at First World Plaza, even the fussiest eaters found a treat to savor.
      In a nutshell, our day at Genting Highlands was a rollercoaster of fun, blending scenic rides, exciting attractions, and kid-friendly facilities. Whether your crew craves adventure or prefers a chill vibe, this gem has it all!

      The trip hosted by Lawrence (driver) was great! I was able to fit in two extra sight-see's into my day which was a great surprise and much appreciated. There was a malfunction/miscommunication with the ticket I needed for the cable car up to Genting Highlands, which took time out of my day to troubleshoot and fix but got there in the end. The driver was very prompt and I felt safe throughout the whole experience. Highly recommend the Genting Highlands day excursion / one for my travel books, for sure.

      Read a couple of reviews where people had bad experiences of queuing for the Cable Car etc, and yes, we did have to wait about twenty minutes, but the staff work really hard to keep everything moving in an orderly fashion. Maybe we were just lucky the day we visited (Sunday, 5th of January)
      We had a fabulous day!
      Will definitely visit again when we next visit Kuala Lumpur.
      Thank you, to all the staff for a lovely day.

      I would say it was a memorable and beautiful experience on 26th April when we visited Genting Highland.

      To begin with Mr Mohd Fauzi was a perfect tour guide with Excellent Knowledge and Information on the Genting Attraction, Tourism, Demographics, History and Economy of Malaysia and with great sense of humour and patience he answered all our areas of Interest questions and Guided us perfectly from Pick Up to Drop.

      The Genting Island is a must Visit destination and with Light Drizzle and Clouds Resting on the Mountains gave us great Views of the Location.
      The Sky Cable ride both ways with the Chinese Monastery And Temple Visit in Between was a Memorable and Beautiful Experience.
      The outside theme parks were very Organized, full of Thrilling Experiences and were Beautiful with Mesmerising themes. We could not explore much of Indoor due to lack of time.

      I would say - A Beautiful Day at Genting
