Island Hopping Langkawi Trip
The most popular boat trip to Langkawi
Probably the most popular half-day boat trip that you can take on Langkawi is the so-called Island Hopping. You will move by boat to the southern island of Pulau Dayang Bunting, where you will go to Pregnant Maiden Lake. Afterwards, you will have a stop to feed the eagles and take a final swim before returning.
The beginning of the trip
First of all, you will have an interesting cruise to the island of Pulau Dayang Bunting, where you can enjoy the beautiful karst landscape here – various rocks and islets covered with lush vegetation
Cruise to Pulau Dayang Bunting
The beginning of the trip to the famous lake
One of the most popular trips to Langkawi is the „Island Hopping“ boat trip. On this trip, the biggest attraction is the lake on the island of Pulau Dayang Bunting, which is the second largest island of the archipelago, but unlike Pulau Langkawi, it is uninhabited with preserved native vegetation. Even the trip to the island is worth it, and you will be greeted by many views of the surrounding smaller islands. continue reading
Dayang Bunting Geoforest Park
The highlight of the entire trip is a tour of Dayang Bunting Island, which is entirely within a protected area. You can walk a short path through the jungle with monkeys to the famous Pregnant Women lake, where you can swim, kayak or paddle board.

Trip to Dayang Bunting Geoforest Park
With an overview, the biggest attraction of the Island Hopping boat trip in Langkawi is the walk to Pregnant Maiden Lake located in the protected area of Dayang Bunting Geoforest Park. It is only a few hundred meters from the boat dock to a beautiful lake surrounded by jungle-covered rocks. At the lake it is possible to rent kayaks, pedal boats, or just swim. Expect that there are always a lot of people here. All cruise ships arrive at roughly the same time in the morning. It used to be a popular walk along the lake, but this trail is currently closed. continue reading
Feeding the eagles
After the trip to the lake, the journey back slowly awaits you with two more stops. The first is short – donkeys are fed in the bay with mangroves, of which countless live here.

A short stop on an Island Hopping trip
After passing the main attraction of the Island Hopping trip, which is the beautiful Pregnant Women Lake on the island of Pulau Dayang Bunting, a more relaxing part of the trip awaits you in the form of a cruise to the north of the island of Pulau Singa Besar, where the Golden Eagles (Haliaeetus leucogaster) are found, but only moderately large predators. It stops here for a while, and since specially prepared baits are thrown from the boats and the birds are used to it, there are really a lot of them flying here in a while. continue reading
Swimming on Beras Basah Island
The last stop is relaxation on the island of Beras Basah. There are two beaches, one east and one north. Our trip was aimed at the north, where there is very little water at low tide and it is not suitable for swimming.
