Plan the day at an easy pace
- Start with the main stop. Children and seniors have most energy in the morning, so see the SkyCab or the waterfalls first.
- Keep the stops few. Two or three stops with a long lunch is better than six short ones.
- Use the car as a base. The car waits, so you can rest in the air conditioning, leave the bags and bring snacks.
- Choose easy places. Dataran Lang and the beach at Pantai Cenang need little walking.
- Check the weather. The SkyCab can close in strong wind or rain, so ask the driver for another stop that day.
