Tip: If you book this Genting Highlands tour on Klook, you can enjoy a hassle-free trip as it already includes a Genting SkyWorlds Theme Park ticket, two-way cable car ride, Batu Caves visit, transfers to/from KL, professional driver, fuel, and toll fees. |
By taxi
Second option is to take the cab. Haggle if you must. Taxi drivers would usually lure you to take the taxi especially if you’re running out of time.
Our taxi driver asked us to pay RM160 (approx. ₱2,200) but we shared the fare with 2 other tourists (Kumar and Kunal) so we paid RM40 each (approx. ₱550). We and our new found friends from India agreed to take the same route and share the cab fare going back instead of racing against the 4:00 PM bus trip from Genting to KL.
Our taxi driver was very friendly and accommodating. He became our instant tour guide and was enthusiastic to have some chit chat with us. He explained about Malaysia’s present air travel problems, gave us important information about tourist attractions, and the best part, he brought us to the chocolate store where there’s free chocolate tasting. The chocolates there are just sinfully delicious!
Our Genting Highlights cable car experience
After dropping by the chocolate store for 15 minutes, we proceeded to the cable car service station in Gohtong Jaya.
Riding the Genting Highlands cable car was a little scary, especially on our way back as it was already foggy and we couldn’t see anything. But the whole experience was definitely fun!
