Kedah Trip Overview
The name Langkawi is regularly connected with the main island but in fact, the most popular of the 98 other island are part of a much larger group of islands called ‘Langkawi Permata Kedah’ (translated as ‘Langkawi, the Jewel of Kedah’). Tropical beauty expands beyond the beaches, flora and fauna of Pulau Langkawi with its palm-fringed, relatively untouched beaches and cerulean-coloured ocean waters. This is merely a fraction of why Langkawi’s popularity as islets, bearing names such as Pulau Dayang Bunting and Pulau Beras Basah form tropical getaways off the Langkawi coast line. A relaxing morning boat ride will bring you to some of fabulous pearls of this recognized Geopark in the far northwestern corner of Malaysia.

Stop At: Langkawi Island, Kedah, Malaysia
Your booked boat will leave at 09:00 hrs for touring other bounty-style islands in the Strait of Malacca, and we highly recommend arriving at the ferry pier at least 15 minutes before departure. During your leisurely sail to three of the archipelago’s most scenic islands, the famous Langkawi eagles may join you as they fly above you in search for oceanic prey. A sight that will never bother even the most seasoned Langkawi traveller as they gracious birds of prey swoop the clear waters for fish. Within 20 minutes, the outlining of Pulau Dayang Bunting will rise up from the horizon where you will be around 1 hour. Highlight of this island is a 15 minute walk, followed by a long flight of stairs to ‘Lake of the Pregnant Woman’ – the mountains forming the background resemble a pregnant woman. Ample time is reserved to enjoy swimming and various water sport activities or when you feel that this is paradise you wish to admire from the sandy beaches, the choice is all yours.
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
Stop At: Pulau Singa Besar, Kedah, Malaysia
Your captain for the morning will call ‘all aboard’ to bring you to the next island in this UNESCO World Heritage Geo Park’s protected region. Pulau Singa Besar’s landscape and abundance of feeding possibilities for the eagles of Langkawi have made this the perfect spot for Eagle Feeding. Local boatmen will stop your boat’s engine and throw food out into the water to invite the eagles. In no time eagles will dive down just, almost next to you and clawing up food as they sore back into the sky.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Beras Basah Island, Langkawi Malaysia
Finally, before we make our way back to Pulau Langkawi, we make our last stop at Pulau Beras Basah.
Literally means “Island of Wet Rice”, this is an example of a picture-perfect island with uninterrupted views as far as the horizon reaches, stunning beaches and clear waters for a refreshing dip with your snorkel mask securely fastened. Your last hour before we reach Teluk Baru Jetty will be spent at one of the archipelago’s best snorkelling destinations.
After returning back to Langkawi, transfer from the ferry terminal for a chauffeured joint transfer back to their Langkawi resort (selected regions only)
Duration: 1 hour 30 minutes
