Dayang Bunting Island

Pulau Dayang Bunting, also known as Dayang Bunting Island or the Island of the Pregnant Maiden, is the second largest island in the Langkawi archipelago and one of its most fascinating attractions. The island is famous for its legendary freshwater lake, the Lake of the Pregnant Maiden (Tasik Dayang Bunting), which is surrounded by lush rainforest and dramatic limestone hills. From above, the outline of the hills resembles a reclining pregnant woman, giving rise to the island’s name and local legend. According to folklore, the lake is believed to have mystical powers that can help women conceive. Visitors can enjoy a scenic boat ride to the island, followed by a short forest walk to reach the lake, where activities such as swimming, paddle boating, and kayaking are available. The combination of natural beauty, myth, and adventure makes Dayang Bunting Island a must-visit stop during the Langkawi Island Hopping tour.
