Langkawi: Island Hopping Shared Boat Tour

Langkawi: Island Hopping Shared Boat Tour - Price and the Extra Fee That Actually Matters

9.Island Hopping Shared Boat Tour

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

Langkawi shared speedboat hopping: karst views, Dayang Bunting lake, snorkeling, kayaking, eagle feeding, and beach time. From $12.

“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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 126 reviews · from $50

“Overall the tour was average. Pros : 1- The cruise is very quiet and smooth, since you are in a river there are no bumps. 2- The night cruise was actually good, watching all these fireflies filling up the trees, many of them. Also some may come to the boat, they are small and magical. 3- The staff is friendly. Cons : 1- After driving for two hours from Kota Kinabalu you expect that you are going deep in the river and its jungle but it’s actually a very short ride and you are able to see houses and the main road. The driver did not even go that far…”

“Driver didn't speak at all after picking us up. No idea where we were going or how long it would be. Two guides spoke at the same time in Chinese and English so you couldn't hear anything. Left sitting around for ages with no info most of the time. The mirror photography is just a bit of beach when the tide comes in. There was a massive storm and they said we'd leave the beach if it started raining. Instead they left us for an hour in a tin shack whilst they played on their phones and said nothing. Then the weather got too bad to leave so we had…”
