Description
Pulau Singa Besar, also known as “Big Lion Island,” is a pristine, uninhabited island located just a short boat ride from Langkawi’s main island. Despite its name, there are no lions here, but the island is named for its lion-shaped silhouette. Pulau Singa Besar is a part of the Langkawi Geopark and is celebrated for its untouched natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and tranquil surroundings.
The island is home to Lion Marine Park, a protected sanctuary where visitors can experience Langkawi’s incredible marine and terrestrial biodiversity. The crystal-clear waters surrounding the island are teeming with marine life, making it an ideal spot for snorkeling, swimming, and kayaking.

On land, the island’s dense rainforest is a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Pulau Singa Besar is home to sea eagles, hornbills, monitor lizards, and monkeys, among other fascinating creatures. Visitors may even get the chance to witness the iconic feeding of the majestic white-bellied sea eagles that soar above the island.
Unlike more developed areas of Langkawi, Pulau Singa Besar is untouched by commercial activity, ensuring a peaceful escape into nature. Guided eco-tours offer insights into the island’s unique ecosystems while promoting sustainable tourism practices.
