Island Hopping by Private Speedboat: Pregnant Maiden Lake & Beyond

Charter a private speedboat to Langkawi's legendary island trinity — the mystical freshwater Lake of the Pregnant Maiden on Pulau Dayang Bunting, pristine Pulau Beras Basah, and eagle-rich Pulau Singa Besar. A legendary Langkawi ritual, done in total privacy.

What to expect

Speed across Langkawi's warm, island-dotted waters to Pulau Dayang Bunting, where a short jungle trail leads to the serene Lake of the Pregnant Maiden — a natural freshwater lake ringed by forest and limestone cliffs. A cooling swim here feels otherworldly. Pulau Beras Basah offers a postcard-perfect crescent of white sand for snorkelling and a beach picnic. En route, the skipper slows at Pulau Singa Besar to witness brahminy kites and sea eagles in dramatic low flight overhead.
