LANGKAWI RO-RO
Unlike the cargo boats that will take your car from the more southern port of Kuala Kedah (while you have to take the passenger ferry and pick your car up the next day), the car ferries from Kuala Perlis let you travel on the same boat and are roll on roll off ferries. You just drive you car on, take your seat on the ferry, enjoy the short couple of hours journey over to the island, then drive your car off the other end.
Now you have you own car on the island to enjoy the sights of beautiful Langkawi!
