Date: 30th September 2010
After a great first day in Langkawi, today morning we were up and ready for our island hopping tour.

We were picked up by the tour operator at 8am and dropped off at a pier where other tourists were gathered as well.

Our first stop on the tour was to get a glimpse of the Pregnant Maiden Island, called so because it looks like a lady lying down with a pregnant tummy.

We were at the Dayang Bunting Marble Geoforest Park, which is located inside the Island of the Pregnant Maiden.

The stop was for us to check out a lake inside.

They also have one of those “fish spas” here with small catfish ever ready to nibble away at your feet’s germs.

45 minutes in, we made our way back to the pier
![Langkawi Geoforest park monkeys on stones Langkawi Geoforest park monkeys on stones](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-geoforest-park-monkeys-on-stones.jpg)
You have to be a bit careful though. Yes, they are more afraid of you than your are of the monkeys. But if they see anything enticing in your hands — like juice bottles or food packets — sometimes they will come at you and just grab it. Also, I saw some idiots throw things at them. Please don’t do that.

Our next stop was a short trip away.

![Langkawi island hopping tour fish feeding farm arriving Langkawi island hopping tour fish feeding farm arriving](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-island-hopping-tour-fish-feeding-farm-arriving.jpg)
The thing was, you had to pay to feed the fishes. This isn’t exactly included in the package.
![Langkawi fish feeding farm baskets Langkawi fish feeding farm baskets](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-fish-feeding-farm-baskets.jpg)
We didn’t opt to feed the fishes because, 1) all 3 of us weren’t interested 2) the concept of paying to feed fishes, fatten them up and who then (possibly) end up on the restaurant menu didn’t sound right to me.

![Langkawi island hopping tour guide smoking Langkawi island hopping tour guide smoking](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-island-hopping-tour-guide-smoking.jpg)
We rode up to what looked like a mangrove forest, where we would witness an eagle feeding session.
![Langkawi eagles grey sky Langkawi eagles grey sky](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-eagles-grey-sky.jpg)
![Langkawi island hopping tour eagle feeding mangrove Langkawi island hopping tour eagle feeding mangrove](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-island-hopping-tour-eagle-feeding-mangrove.jpg)
The eagle feeding session works as such. The boats all float apart from each other and the drivers/guides throw some eagle feed (bread bits or some meat) into the waters, and the birds of prey come sweeping in with their beaks ready to eat.
Problem was, I didn’t have the right lens for this part of the tour. The most zoom I had was with my Tamron 28-75mm f2.8, which as a macro lens is great, but isn’t much when it comes to photographing fast moving birds.
Here are a few shots Ramesh got using his Canon 55-250mm telephoto lens.

After the eagle feeding session, we moved on to our next and final stop on this tour.

The rain was mostly a drizzle once we got back. They were selling memorabilia plates of everybody who went for these boat trips and since they were only RM10, we all picked up our respective plates.
This was a half-day island hopping tour and it only cost us RM30 (Rs. 450 approx.) per person. I’ve done a similar tour like this last year in South Thailand. Of course, that trip didn’t start of well, with my camera getting wet and all, but I doubt I’ll ever get sick of seeing clear blue water and less crowded beaches far away from civilization.
As we were walking to our vans, Ramesh and I were talking about visiting the Langkawi Underwater World, just when one of the Sri Lankans who was on our boat overheard us. He turned back and advised us against it, saying that the Aquaria KLCC in Kuala Lumpur is “much better”. So we decided to take his word for it and dropped the idea of going to Langkawi Underwater World.
The tour company dropped us back to our hotel.

We stepped out again, this time for lunch.
![Langkawi Skol beer Chang beer Langkawi Skol beer Chang beer](http://mithunonthe.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/langkawi-skol-beer-chang.jpg)
Unfortunately, looking at the menu, it offered very little in terms of vegetarian for Ramesh. So after beer, we sought some other restaurant.

Post lunch, we checked out some Duty Free stores. Langkawi is a Duty Free shopping destination, so one would assume you would find some great bargains. But as we hopped from one shop to another, that wasn’t the case. Especially with electronics. We walked into the Canon store at a mall adjacent to Underwater World and found the prices to be far higher than that of Singapore. We were aware Malaysia isn’t as cheap as Singapore when it comes to electronics, but still, the prices we came across were a bit exorbitant. Some even higher than prices back in India.
I feel Langkawi businesses were taking advantage of the “Duty Free” label and jacking up the prices because you never know, some less-informed tourist would buy into the whole gimmick and assume they got a good deal here.
At this point, Ramesh and Loiyumba wanted to head back to our hotel in Langkawi for some rest. This being our last day on Langkawi, I didn’t feel like resting, so I told them I wanted to roam around a bit more.
I was contemplating heading to Kuah, Langkawi’s main town, just to see what that side of the island had to offer. But since we had already walked quite a bit, I decided to head further on and visit Pantai Tengah beach. In the process, also share some more beachfront hotel options on Pantai Cenang in case you wanted to know where to stay (I highlighted some places in the previous post).

I went back to the room to drop off my laundry, and to see what the other two were up to. Ramesh and Loi were taking a nap and so, I decided to step out again.

After spending some time at the market, I knew I was coming back here for dinner. Great street food at very low prices — who am I to complain? I headed back to let the other two know about my ‘discovery’.
Once I got back to the room at around 6pm, Loi was still napping. So we forced him to get out of bed and get ready. We set out by 7:30pm.

Unfortunately, everybody except Ramesh got what we wanted. There was very little in terms of pure vegetarian on offer at the night market. So we headed back to the main road so that Ramesh could pick up his dinner from a proper restaurant.
Since this was our last night in Langkawi, we hit the beach to the feel wet sand on our feet one last time.

After checking out a few restaurants, Ramesh ended up picking up a vegetarian pizza from Italian coffee chain illy Cafe, which cost as much as all the food myself and Loi picked up from the night market.

Dinner and drinks done, I ended the night satisfied with all that I saw today. Actually, I did want to head to Kuah town after we came back from our island hopping tour. But given that it ended up raining in the afternoon, it’s a good thing I stayed put in Pantai Cenang.
With 208 photos and over 2000 words, this is the largest post I’ve worked on. There were still some more photos I felt like using because they looked good, but in the end decided not to.
It was good day today, but tomorrow onwards, it’s four days in Malaysia’s capital — Kuala Lumpur.
