Touring Malaysia’s Islands by Personal Watercraft

We can’t think of a better way to sneak into some areas in the beautiful islands of Malaysia than by jet ski. A guided tour with Mega Water Sports is one way to go on a trip of a lifetime. A jet ski tour beats a boat tour says a novice operator. Riding a jet ski allows more freedom because it can reach remote areas and a person can cruise at their own pace while taking in the sites.

An article published on the CNN website provides us with some details of what goes on during the jet ski tours. The ride begins at Canara Bech where an instructor provides a quick riding and safety lesson and before you know it, you’re underway on the Andaman Sea heading 12 miles to the Island of Dayang Bunting where Pregnant Maiden Lake is located. Dayang Bunting’s south side has a pier that’s the perfect place to moor skis. Once secured, you’ll take a five minute walk through a lush jungle on the way to the warm green waters of the lake. Monkeys hanging in the dense trees are a common sight along the way. Tourists usually kayak, swim, or just float on the surface of the lake while admiring the scenery that surrounds them. Approximately after 40 minutes of lake life, the tour group gets underway again and the guide allows a little freestyle action on the skis before heading to the next stop; Singa Besar Island. The island is known for its huge white bellied sea eagles and Brahminy kite eagles.

Langkawi is located off northwest Malaysia and is home to more than 100 islands which hold an abundance of biodiversity within them The islands rise from the sea and have lush forests atop where numerous animals reside, ranging from large raptors to monitor lizards. A person can sit and view the animals from their ski or just peer into the water to watch pretty tropical fish swim by!
“Most people never in their life can do this—explore the ocean, see the animals, feel so free,’ says Mega Water Sports Guide Shahrul Rizwan. I’m always smiling, always happy when I’m out in the ocean. I feel like I can do anything I want.”
