Malaysia · ISLAND HOPPING TOURS IN LANGKAWI
Good island hopping tours in Langkawi fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 9 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Join an English-speaking guide for a fast half-day boat trip from Teluk Baru. Visit Dayang Bunting Lake, watch eagles feed, stop at Pulau Singa Besar, and swim at Beras Basah Beach. Hotel pickup is available in Pantai Cenang and Pantai Tengah, or meet at McDonald’s Underwater World.
“Really enjoyed but cut short because of the weather…. Obvs not the company’s fault and would use again”
Sail from Langkawi to Dayang Bunting, Singa Besar, and Beras Basah on a 210-minute tour with hotel pickup, eagle watching, lake time, and beach stops. You can swim, relax, or add optional activities at your own cost. The English-speaking boat crew handles the route, but commentary may be limited.
“The islands where stunning with breathtaking views and wildlife to spot. The "guide"/boat captain didn't give much information though, barely spoke to his guests and acted more as a driver than a guide. Nevertheless we had a great day”
This 3 to 4 hour shared boat trip from Langkawi visits the Pregnant Maiden Island viewpoint, Singa Besar for eagle watching, and Beras Basah for beach time. Hotel pickup is offered from Pantai Tengah, Pantai Cenang, or Kuah. The $59 price includes transport and boat travel, but not the entrance fee to the Pregnant Maiden attraction or lunch.
“Boat ride was fast and enjoyable. The captain was fab and we felt safe throughout. We had six people on our boat which was such a nice number and would love to do it again. Enjoyed the beach, sea eagle feeding and pregnant lady views more than the fresh water lake activity.”
You’ll ride with an English or Malay-speaking instructor from Mega Water Sports Beach Hut, stopping at Singa Besar for eagle watching, Beras Basah for beach time, and Intan Kecil for swimming. The small-group tour lasts two hours, includes safety gear and insurance, and suits confident swimmers with limited time.
“Polecam gorąco tą atrakcję, nam sprawiła ogromną frajdę, piękne widoki super przewodnik😎 super super”
Spend about four hours touring Langkawi’s island trio by shared boat. You’ll watch sea eagles snatch chicken from the water, visit Dayang Bunting’s freshwater lake, and relax at Beras Basah. Hotel or cruise terminal transfers, an English-speaking driver, and an air-conditioned vehicle are included. Lake entry, food, and beach activities cost extra.
“It was a great experience. The driver of the boat was really friendly and we had a great time seeing the islands”
Spend 3 to 4 hours exploring Langkawi by boat, with hotel pickup, a stop at Dayang Bunting’s Pregnant Maiden Lake, views of Singa Besar, and beach time at Beras Basah. Choose a shared or private boat. Bring swimwear, a towel, and cash for entry fees, snacks, and optional equipment.
“Such a beautiful island, so nice color of the water. Love the swings and the water is also clean. There are too many monkeys so please be aware of the bags.”
You’ll visit Pulau Beras Basah, Pulau Dayang Bunting, and Pulau Singa Besar on a four-hour shared or private boat trip. Expect beach time, a freshwater lake, eagle feeding, and commentary on Langkawi’s culture and ecology. The $11 starting price is attractive, but short stops and crowds can affect the experience.
“Really perfect, inexpensive considering what was included (meal, tour, etc.). We even got to see dolphins thanks to our guide.”
Spend four hours exploring Langkawi by jet ski with an English or Malay-speaking guide. The route covers Pregnant Maiden Lake, Beras Basah Island, Diamond Island, limestone cliffs, eagle-feeding areas, and the Fjord Eco Marine Park. Hotel transfers, safety gear, snorkeling masks, and a complimentary drone video are included.
“Prachtige eilanden en de dronefoto’s en -video’s zijn ook echt prachtig! Alles was super geregeld. Let wel op: ze proberen soms extra geld te vragen voor de drone, terwijl dit al in het pakket zit 😁 Verder absoluut een aanrader!”
Take control of a jet ski with an English-speaking guide and tour Dayang Bunting’s island group for four hours. You’ll see steep jungle-clad peaks, visit Pregnant Maiden Lake, stop at Beras Basah Island, and choose between a short forest walk, a freshwater swim, or kayaking. The tour suits active adults and small groups.
“Atrakcja była w porządku, jednak oczekiwanie na rozpoczęcie i start 1,5h po czasie, bo zbierali innych ludzi co powoduje, że nie zasługuje na więcej niż 2 gwiazdki. O opóźnieniu nie poinformował nikt z firmy a jak na miejscu mieliśmy się pojawić o 9:15, to oni byli o 9:30 [wtedy miała rozpocząć się atrakcja] i dopiero rozpoczęli zwozić i przygotowywać sprzęt. Dla osób, które szanują swój czas odradzam tą firmę.”
