I am thinking of a two centre holiday and rather than fly back to kl from penang and fly to langkawi I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the ferry is like and if I can travel that way with luggage, where does it go from and what sort of cost? I am not sure of travelling this way as I havent experienced ferries overseas!

Google is your friend http://www.langkawi-ferry.com/ We've used it before,cheap and great fun, but we like boats even when its rough windy and rainy. Saying that, our rides have always been mirror cal and sunny, and stayed up top, I would not like to be inside, especially if you get a couple of lightweights getting sick. It leaves from Weld quay , long blue boats are the ferry http://maps.google.com.au/maps?hl=en&ie=UTF8&ll=5.417594,100.345886&spn=0.002921,0.00412&t=h&z=18 [url=http://www.langkawi-ferry.com/]http://www.langkawi-ferry.com/[/url]
