Langkawi

You should apply and carry enough sun block lotion to avoid sun burns and also carry bottles of drinking water. Once arrived at the jetty, you will be transferred to the boat and begin the Langkawi island hoping.
Pass by without stopping
Pulau Singa Besar
Our first stop (stop while still in the boat near the island only) is the eagle watching. The boatman will stop the engine and throw some chicken pieces out into the water to invite the eagles. And in no time you will see eagles diving down just next to you and clawing up the chicken pieces and eating them as they soar into the sky.
Pass by without stopping
Dayang Bunting Island
Next we proceed to Pulau Dayang Bunting which will take about 20 minutes to reach this fascinating island jetty. This is a wonderful scenic fresh water 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. 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. 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.

Beras Basah Island
Pulau Beras Basah is the last stop in the tour. You will get about one hour here. So after a tiring day under 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.
60 minutes here
Langkawi
After about an hour at Pulau Beras Basah, you will head back to the Jetty and then back to your hotel or cruise terminal.

Great value exceptional views
Exceptional value. Orginized chaos at the jetty but got on a boat ok. Stopped at 2 locations. You have to pay at the first but usual low Malaysian prices

Beware of rip off cafe
Very disappointed as no information about the walk on steep and irregular steps to the freshwater lake which was not very clean. Additionally when we stopped in the cafe at the end of the pier they tried to charge us £12 for 2 cans of Fanta !!!
Response from the operator: Dear Martin, We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We appreciate your feedback and understand how important it is to have clear information about the walking conditions and overall experience. We will work on providing better details in advance so guests can be fully prepared. Regarding the pricing at the café, while we do not have direct control over third-party vendors, we will share your concerns with them to ensure fair pricing for visitors. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we truly appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. If there's anything we can do to address your concerns further, please feel free to reach out. Safe travels!

Enjoyable boat trip with exceptional eagle experience
The sea eagles experience is awesome. The pristine beaches are also a delight. Good afternoon on a speed boat
via Viator
Recommended
It was a great experience. The driver of the boat was really friendly and we had a great time seeing the islands
via Viator
Disappointing!
So the boat takes you to 3 places which literally has nothing! In the first island, a part of the water has been demarcated for children/ family to swim, in the second, you are taken to a mid point of the sea where the driver feeds the eagle ( yes, that's it) and in the third, you are given sometime to swim on the beach. It is an okay trip if you really have nothing to do in Langkawi but otherwise can be avoided. You won't miss anything!
Response from the operator: Dear Larissa, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the trip did not meet your expectations. The tour is designed to offer a variety of experiences, from swimming to eagle feeding, but we understand that it may not appeal to everyone. We appreciate your honest comments and will consider them as we look to improve our offerings. Thank you for your input, and we hope to serve you better in the future. Safe travels!

Why this scores 53
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Langkawi.
How much does Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers cost?
+
Prices start at $54 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Langkawi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Langkawi is not rushed.
Is Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Langkawi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Langkawi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Langkawi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Langkawi Island Hopping Tour: Scenic Boat Ride & Return Transfers start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Langkawi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Langkawi?
+
On Outty we rank every Langkawi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include JungleWalla Langkawi UNESCO Geopark Mangrove Cruise, 6 Hours Sharing Basis Kilim Mangrove Safari Boat Tour in Langkawi, 6 Hours Kilim Mangrove Kayaking Sharing Tour (Wt Lunch & Pickup). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Langkawi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Langkawi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
