This is well worth a visit the island profile is in the shape of a pregnant maiden and the waters and meant to help with fertility. The trip by boat is fast and a real buzz, the walk to the lake isn't too long and can be reached by most ages.....i advise taking some cash for a life jacket as... More

If you will go there though, get ready with... More

Pulau Dayang Bunting, an island offshore Langkawi, around 30 minutes travel from Langkawi by boat. This is a small island which is nothing more than a forest with a fresh water lake in the middle. The lake took majority surface of the island, making it the fresh water lake in the sea. The name Dayang Bunting means pregnant maid/lady in... More

I could spend about an hour on this island. Lake was clear and water was just perfect for a swim. but needs a 10-15 min walk to reach the spot.

The boat ride is fun. A cool lake on an island. Fun and exciting. Eagle feeding activity on this tour was very impressive
