Best Jet Ski Tours & Rentals in Langkawi
There are two ways to go about jet skiing in Langkawi. One is to get a Jet Ski on rent from one of the beach counters and take a wild ride on the open sea bumping on the waves, get your blood pump up and have a great feel of adventure. Although this is not the best way to enjoy Langkawi from the water, many do it.
If this is what you plan to do, then you should come to either
Pantai Cenang Beach or Burau Bay Beach at the western coastline of the island. This is where you will get plenty of beach operators and hotels that offer Jet Ski on rentals. There is also an operator at the Tanjung Rhu beach on the northern shore who too offers great Jet Skis on rent on hourly basis. I have described the Jet Ski rentals, the various models of Jet Skis offered and indicative rental rates in my section
Jetski & Watersports Operators.
In areas like Datai Bay as well as in Kuah where the large resorts occupy private beach areas, you won't find motorized watersports, as these hotels have decided not to offer such options to avoid impacting the nature and the eco system.
However, there is a second option in Langkawi with Jet Skis that is rarely offered by other island destinations. And that is to take a guide tour on Jet Ski and see Langkawi closely from the sea. You will visit several tiny islands around Langkawi, get to many natural attractions like lakes, lagoons, limestone cliffs, caves, mangroves etc, and snorkel to see amazing marine life in emerald green water of Andaman Sea and experience the nature from a close distance that are otherwise rarely seen.
In my following section I'll discuss the Top Guided Jet Ski Tours in Langkawi and the best operators who offer such guided tours on modern and safe jet skis. Over the years, we have undertaken all these Jet Ski tours in Langkawi several times as we now believe that this is one of the best ways to see Langkawi closely and an experience truly worth spending your money on.
Jet Ski Tour (3 Hours) by Seeman Watersports
This Jet Ski Tour starts from Pantai Cenang Beach and takes about 3 hours to complete.
It starts with a visit to Diamond Island (Pulau Intan Kecil) at a short distance taking about 15 minutes. You can swim from a deserted beach and also snorkel at a nearby reef site and see many colorful reef fish.
The second stop is at Pulau Beras Basah (Wet Rice island) which is at south west of Langkawi's main island. This is a also a great swimming & snorkeling venue and you are likely to meet with many other visitors who would have come there by boats.
The next stop is at Pulau Singa Besar (Big Lion island) which is close to Pulau Beras Basah. There are no lions here though. You will get a close view of the mangrove swamps along the coastline and also experience eagle feeding. In no time several eagles will start swooping in from the sky and start feeding on the food pieces thrown in to the water... an amazing sight as you keep watching them sitting on your Jet Ski after having silenced your engine.
Next, after a fairly long ride on the jet ski, you will reach one of the most coveted attractions, the Dayang Bunting Island. Here you will find a wonderful freshwater lake surrounded by rainforests on mountain slopes and separated from the open sea by a thing strip of rocks... it looks like a paradise. Like many other places in Langkawi, this lake known as the Lake of Pregnant Maiden is also associated with a legend. It is said that childless women after taking a dip into the water here can become fertile and conceive. Take take a dip, have a refreshing swim at the lake (lake is quite deep though) or do some paddle boating or even kayaking.
You will then ride the jet ski to some great limestone cliffs, caves, other small islands and then in open ocean before heading back to Pantai Cenang beach.
Jet Ski Tour (4 Hours) by Seeman Watersports
This tour is a continuation of the previous tour where the first three hours would be similar. During the last extra hour, you will experience the following:
You will visit and ride by a series of small islands (more than 20) in this trip.
You will visit Lima Island where there is a gigantic limestone rock formation and a cavern right on the water. You will jet ski (of course slowly) through the cavern. As you do so, look up and you will see the stunning stalagmite formations from the ceiling hanging down.
Visit the Tuba Island which has the second largest population after the main island of Langkawi. You will pass by a fishing village and see many shacks built by driftwood and standing on stilts. Those are the houses of the fishermen.
You will then get a wonderful view of the Kuah Town from the waters, and also see the castle like structure of the Bella Vista Resort.
And then you will Jet Ski right next to the giant golden brown eagle that stands facing the water front at Eagle Square, an awesome sight.
You will then pass by few more islands before heading back to Cenang Beach.
