The 7 Island Hopping Tours in Langkawi That Earn Their Price

1.Island Hopping Shared Boat Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 291 reviews · 1 day · from $12Our pick

Join an English-speaking shared speedboat from Langkawi’s main hotel areas for a lively half-day loop through Dayang Bunting, Pulau Singa Besar, and Beras Basah. Expect fast crossings, steep steps, swimming stops, eagle and fish feeding, and a low-cost way to see the islands.

“Such a great experience! Me and my husband really enjoyed ourselves. The only thing we thought would be better is with the first island if we could have gotten more time to explore as most of it requires walking uphill and downhill and waiting in the queue to purchase admission tickets. The rest of the journey was amazing. Feeding fishes watching eagles get fed. Be careful with the second island as there are monkeys that don’t hesitate to snatch your food (we saw a few couples experience this) Would highly recommended!”

5.Island Hopping Shared or Private Boat Options

★★★★★★★★★★3.7 · 6 reviews · from $11Best value

Spend four hours by boat visiting Pulau Beras Basah, Pulau Dayang Bunting, and Pulau Singa Besar. You can choose a shared or private boat, swim at the lake and beach, and watch eagles swoop for chicken pieces. Lunch and the Dayang Bunting entrance fee cost extra.

“It was cheap but honestly I wouldn’t necessarily say this tour is worth doing. The sights aren’t very impressive. The freshwater lake was okay but it gets very crowded and so difficult to actually enjoy yourself swimming in it. The tour mentions eagle feeding but we didn’t actually get to do this and only spent a few minutes there. Then the final beach was very dirty, nothing to do there and the water was not clean at all.”

7.Jet Ski Tour Island Hopping Dayang Bunting

★★★★★★★★★★3.6 · 4 reviews · 4 hours

Take control of a jet ski with an English-speaking instructor and cruise around Dayang Bunting’s eight islands. Stop at Pregnant Maiden Lake, swim in Malaysia’s largest freshwater lake, then visit Beras Basah Island. Kayaking and a short forest walk add variety, while small groups keep the outing manageable.

“Het is leuk om te doen, langs alle eilanden te gaan met de jetski. De communicatie kan iets beter. Wij zouden om half 10 opgehaald worden, dat werd verlaat. Doordat de mensen uit onze groep te laat waren hebben we op het punt zelf ook nog een uur gewacht. De start was dus niet optimaal maar daarna was het leuk! Leuke foto’s ontvangen van ons op de jetski, mooie eilanden gezien, leuke dag! Om half 4 waren we terug, dus ze hebben de tijd ook goed gemaakt!”
