This is the first island you will be visiting. It takes about 20 minutes to reach this fascinating island from Teluk Baru jetty. A total of 1 hour is given for you to spend here. This includes 10 to 12 minutes one-way walk up the long flight of stairs to go up the mountain and down from the other side to reach the wonderful Lake of the Pregnant Maiden and same way back. So come prepared for this nice trek and carry water bottles.
This is a wonderful scenic freshwater lake surrounded by mountains that are covered with dense forests. The lake was formed when a large underwater cave collapsed many years back. You will also see large limestone formations.
Here you can indulge into several activities like swimming at the lake, solar paddle boating (at extra charge), natural catfish spa at designated areas to clean up dead cells from your feet, walk through the forest and see the Miracle Border where the lake is separated from the sea by a thin rocky ridge, or just lounge on the wooden planks next to the lake. From the lake, if you look at the mountains at the fringes, you can clearly see an outline of a woman lying on her back who is 6-7 months pregnant, and thus the name of the lake. There are paddle boats available here. Each has a capacity of 2 to 3 persons. If you do not plan to swim, then this is a good way of going around the lake and sightseeing. Paddleboat ride costs extra.
Having enjoyed Dayang Bunting island and the lake for about 40 minutes, you will walk back to the island jetty to get back to your boat. The next stop is Pulau Singa Besar.
Eagle Feeding Activity at Pulau Singa Besar
Langkawi Eagle feeding is a must activity when you take the island hoping Langkawi Tour. The feast begins as the boat circling around while revving it’s engine. This is to make sure the chicken skin to be scattered around and the eagles will flying around and snatch the floating chicken skin.
The reason why the eagle is often around when they hear the revving boat engine is because, the fishermen often discard small fishes caught in their nets, which made for easy pickings for the eagles.
If you are lucky, there more than hundred eagle waiting and will have some hunting ‘show’ for the tourist. The most anticipated bird in the mangroves of Langkawi’s mangroves among bird enthusiasts is the Brown-winged Kingfisher (Pelargopsis amauroptera, Burung Pekaka Emas Bakau). Near-threatened bird of Langkawi, Malaysia and Red Eagle or Brahminy kite.
Red Eagle or Brahminy kite nowhere to be found accept in Langkawi, Malaysia, Indonesia and Australia. This is one the reason a nature’s lover have to come here and catch a sight of The Red Eagle of Langkawi during mangrove tour langkawi.
Relaxing at White Sandy Beach of Pulau Beras Basah
This island is the last stop for the island hopping langkawi tour. The name literally means “Island of wet rice”. This is a picture perfect island with far reaching views of the sea and wonderful soft white sands. It’s a great place for the beach lovers and swimmers. There is a stall that offers banana boating, jet skis, Parasailing and also beer and some snacks.
If you love snorkeling, you can rent a snorkeling gear from the kiosk on the island. It going to cost RM15 per set. However, don’t expect too much when you snorkeling here as compare to Pulau Payar Snorkeling. Sometimes due to the passing boats, the water gets murky and the water visibility could drop to a meter or so. This is when snorkeling won’t be ideal.
The island is an excellent place to relax. You will get about one hour here. So after a tiring day under the scorching sun, if you just want to lounge and relax, find one of the many shady trees and enjoy the views as the gentle breeze flows. Otherwise, take a stroll along the old pier at the island.
I would suggest that you bring your own food and beach blanket if you plan to do a picnic here. Note that there are plenty of monkeys around who will be constantly targeting your food. So be careful and do not go near them or instigate them in any way. The monkeys often pull the rubbish out of the beans and make the area quite dirty. Due to heavy tourist flow, the island and the beach can get quite crowded at times.
After about an hour at Pulau Beras Basah, you will head back to the Teluk Baru Jetty and then back to your hotel.
