-What You Can Expect-
Enjoy a captivating 4-hour excursion in the islands of Langkawi. This Langkawi
Island Hopping Package lets you explore the wonders of Langkawi on a shared
boat with other tourists. Wholesome fun is in store for you as you experience
three different tropical islands. Take a good swim at Pulau Dayang Bunting as
it churns out perfectly shaped waves that will thrill you, watch how the bold
and mighty eagles are fed by experts at Pulau Singa, then bask on the white
shores or go snorkeling in the cool waters of Pulau Beras Basah.
Herein lies the mythical lake on the island of Dayang Bunting that’s popular
with its own tales. Its name literally translates to ‘Lake of the Pregnant
Maiden’ as it resembles the silhouette of a reclined pregnant lady from afar.
It is also believed by the locals that barren women will become fertile after
taking a dip in this freshwater lake.
An hour is given for you to soak in the environment here, and that includes a
10 – 12 minutes one-way walk up a long flight of stairs up to the mountain to
reach the lake. It gets a little hot too so do bring your water bottles along,
wear a sunblock or a hat, anything that works for you! Once you’ve reached the
lake, you’ll be blown away by the scenic freshwater lake surrounded by
mountains. Interestingly, the lake was formed when a large underwater cave
collapsed many years back so you are bound to experience an amazing sight of
limestone cliffs that all fall under Pulau Dayang Bunting; the second largest
in the 99-island cluster that makes up the Langkawi archipelago.
Here you can indulge in several activities to enrich your experience. Think of
what you’d like to explore best. Perhaps you’d like to swim in the cool waters
of the lake, or maybe even go solar paddle boating, feel the wind in your hair
and cruise in the open water. Perhaps you can unwind and relax with a natural
catfish spa, of course they’d nibble and you feel a funny sensation – takes a
while to get used to but compelling, nonetheless! Walk through the forest and
capture sights of the Miracle Border where a thin rocky bridge separates the
lake from the sea, or just lounge on the wooden planks by the lake. See if you
can catch sight of some mudskippers! If you’re looking for some refreshments,
take a walk around the small shops nearby offering drinks and snacks. Then get
a souvenir or two before heading to the next island.
Along the waters of the island, the boat takes you to Pulau Singa Besar.
Despite the literal translation of its name “Big Lion Island”, Mufasa and
Simba are not in sight! In fact, there are no lions around. A fantastic
activity of eagle feeding show awaits you and the great part is, you don’t
even have to get off the boat! Stopped a distance away from shore and in the
midst of the boat rocking with the waves, you will hear the shrills from up
above. Raise your head and gaze upon at least a dozen of the magnificent
golden-brown eagles soaring freely against the backdrop of cloudy sky! The
sight of these birds flying around is rather spectacular. Now although you
don’t really partake in feeding the eagles directly, it’s still worth an
experience to see how it’s done. The delivery of foods makes them fly in a
frenzy. In no time, you will see many of them hovering around and diving for
the treats.
The last island of Langkawi Island Hopping Package, where the Pulau Beras
Basah offers a relaxing getaway with its pristine beaches and lush green
forest. Simply a picturesque island with far reaching views of the sea and
wonderful soft white sands, the perfect atmosphere for Instagram-worthy
pictures. Cool off from the heat with an invigorating drink and munch on some
tasty snacks. If you just want to loosen up, find a shady spot, relax and have
the gentle breeze flow your way. Though it’s tempting to do nothing else than
eating and losing yourself on an island, there is a plethora of activities you
can partake in such as swimming, and snorkeling. Snorkeling, yes! Put on your
snorkeling gears and dive into the waters, see the radiance of the sun
permeating the ocean floor, it will be an underwater paradise for you as you
come across sea creatures surviving in harmony, a pure aesthetic scenery that
promises you an unforgettable moment.
