> Quick view: LADA's Cashback Mai Langkawi, which refunded 50% of the Kuala Perlis-Langkawi RoRo passenger fare, ended on 31 October 2026, and LADA's campaign page still showed those dates with no extension when we re-read it on 11 November. From November you pay the full fare. On the two operators' published tables an adult round trip is RM44 on Wantas (port charge included) or RM52.10 all-in on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services, and a small sedan crosses from RM280-RM287 round trip before passengers.
What has ended
LADA's campaign page on Naturally Langkawi, the official tourism portal of Lembaga Pembangunan Langkawi, still lists Cashback Mai Langkawi - "Bayaq Satu, Free Satu!" as running 1 August - 31 October 2026. Nothing on the page, or on LADA's site, announces an extension or a follow-up campaign. All three parts are now over:
- The 50% RoRo cashback (Malaysians only, round trip plus a 2-night stay). The claim deadline was also 31 October, so a trip taken now cannot be claimed
- The free Bestuba ticket into Pulau Tuba. The boats still run, but the coupon that made the inbound leg free has ended, so you pay both ways
- The 26 partners' Buy 1 Free 1 offers, including Tropical Charters' RM120 cash-back on its sunset cruise, which required the cruise to be sailed by 31 October
If you claimed before the deadline: LADA's terms say approved claims are credited to your bank account within 7 working days of approval, so a late-October claim may still be paying out. Incomplete claims were cancelled automatically, with no resubmission window.
What the RoRo costs now
Two of the route's four operators publish full fare tables. Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services lists port charge and fuel surcharge as separate columns (table dated April 2026, fuel surcharge from 20 April 2026). Wantas says its web rates already include port charges, and its fare page does not mention a fuel surcharge, so confirm the total at checkout.
Foot passengers, round trip (Malaysians):
- Adult (12+): RM44 on Wantas, against RM42 + RM8 port + RM2.10 fuel = RM52.10 on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services
- Child: RM34 on Wantas (ages 2-12, same rate for OKU), against RM32 + RM4 + RM1.60 = RM37.60 (ages 2-11)
- Senior citizen (60+) or OKU on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services: RM26 + RM8 port = RM34
- Infant (23 months and under) on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services: RM6
- Foreign adult: RM82 on Wantas, or RM74 + RM8 port = RM82 on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services
Vehicles, round trip:
- Sedan up to 1,500cc: RM287 on Wantas (600-1,500cc), or on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services RM280 online / RM300 at the counter, plus RM42 port and RM14 fuel
- Sedan 1,501-2,000cc: RM347 on Wantas, or RM336 online / RM356 counter + RM42 + RM18
- SUV / MPV under 2,000cc: RM392 on Wantas, or RM380 online / RM400 counter + RM42 + RM20
- Motorcycle under 125cc: RM101 on Wantas, or RM98 online / RM108 counter + RM16 + RM4
- Electric cars have their own Wantas rows: RM347 for a non-luxury EV sedan and RM434 for an EV SUV/MPV
Wantas lists the driver at RM0, so its vehicle fare carries the driver. Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services' table does not say either way, so ask when you book.
Worked examples
- Two adults on foot: RM88 on Wantas, against RM104.20 all-in on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services. Under the old campaign about RM42 of the second figure came back, so the same trip now costs roughly RM42 more than it did in October
- Family of two adults and two children with a 1.5-litre sedan, on Wantas: sedan RM287 + driver RM0 + second adult RM44 + two children RM68 = RM399 round trip
- The same family on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services, booked online: sedan RM280 + RM42 + RM14 = RM336, plus two adults at RM52.10 and two children at RM37.60 = RM515.40, or about RM463 if the driver turns out to be covered by the car fare. On the counter rate the sedan alone is RM20 more
- What the campaign used to be worth to that family: about RM74 back on the passenger fares. Choosing the cheaper operator for a car trip now saves more than that
November sailings are thin
Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services publishes a month-by-month timetable. For November 2026 it runs one or two sailings a day in each direction, and the time moves from day to day:
- Kuala Perlis to Langkawi: between 9.30am and 4.30pm. Two departures a day on 6-14 November (1.30pm plus a 9.30am or 3pm), then one a day from 15 November
- Langkawi to Kuala Perlis: between 9am and 5pm. Two departures a day on 5-14 November, then a single departure a day from 15 November
- Ironman Langkawi weekend, 20-21 November: a single sailing each way each day (from Kuala Perlis at 12.30pm on the 20th and 1.30pm on the 21st)
The operator also says to confirm your return trip at its counter when you arrive in Langkawi or Kuala Perlis. The crossing takes about 1.5-2 hours, and the RoRo lands at Kompleks Dermaga Tanjung Lembung, not at Kuah jetty. If you are not taking a car, the passenger ferries to Kuah are usually the simpler crossing.
Langkawi dates to plan around
Naturally Langkawi's 2026 events calendar lists these for the rest of the year:
- Ironman Langkawi 2026: 20-21 November, Mahsuri International Exhibition Centre (MIEC). Expect busier ferries and hotels that weekend
- M8 Langkawi International Pushbike 2026: 6-8 December, MIEC
- Langkawi International Half Marathon 2026: December at MIEC (the calendar gives no day yet)
- Launch of the Langkawi 2027 events calendar: 30-31 December, Langkawi Sports Complex
Who still gains from the RoRo, and who should skip it
- Drivers bringing their own car or motorbike: the RoRo is the only way to get a vehicle across, and the fare gap between operators is now the biggest saving on the trip
- Families driving up: Wantas' RM0 driver and RM34 child fare make it the cheaper pick on its published rates
- Foot passengers heading for Kuah or Cenang: skip the RoRo. Without the cashback there is no reason to land at Tanjung Lembung
- Anyone waiting for a repeat of the 50% cashback: nothing has been announced. LADA launches its 2027 events calendar on 30-31 December, so that is the next point to look for new campaigns
Fine print
- Fares above come from the operators' own published tables, read on 11 November 2026, and can change without notice
- Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services charges vehicles less online than at the counter. Passenger fares are the same either way
- Foreign passengers pay higher fares and are not charged the fuel surcharge on Langkawi Ro-Ro Ferry Services' table
- Sailing times shift daily; check the timetable for your exact date before you drive to Kuala Perlis
