Located just 7km south of Langkawi Island, the waters of Pulau Singa Besar are teeming with clusters of eagles eager to meet you! Most local travel agencies bring you on a island hopping tour and stops at Pulau Singa Besar for eagle watching. It is surely an experience not to be missed, especially if it’s your first time visiting Langkawi Island.
As you approach the eagle area, the sound of the boat’s motor excites the eagles and coaxes them out of the trees. Think of it as an alarm bell for mealtime. Don’t blink your eyes as you’re soon surrounded by 30 to 40 eagles at any given time! These eagles are native to the island and live in the wild. Boatmen throw chicken strips into the water and the eagles swoop in at lightning fast speeds to catch them. This allows for great photography opportunities and a memorable experience.

Safety tips
Safety tips

- Always keep your life vest on. If you were not handed a life vest, insist for one.

Insiders’ tips
Insiders’ tips
- Avoid booking this activity during the months of January to March as this is the time when the eagles nest and breed, there won’t be as many sightings compared to the rest of the year.
- If you’re here to photograph the eagles, your smartphone won’t cut it. The eagles swoop in fast and exit even faster! A decent DSLR camera will do a much better job.
- The main food used to attract the eagles are strips of chicken skin.
- This isn’t the most ideal food for their diet. If you don’t support this practice you should probably skip out on this event.
- Almost every tour operator has an island hopping tour that includes Pulau Singa Besar and the price per head varies depending on season.
