We decided to go on 'island hopping' tour , there were lot of private boats which were available , since we were a group of 8 we got a boat of our own - (Refer pics) strapped on the life jackets and embraced ourselves for a heck of ride through seas !
We were taken to a couple of islands after 30 min high speed journey through the sea ... waters were relatively placid still since the boat was an open one and with the winds blowing fine spray of water against faces it was good fun ride ..
We docked at the first island whose name totally escapes me ! the place was supposed to be famous for watersports n stuff ... unfortunately we went on a local holiday and all the shops were closed.
Then we headed to another island after another 10 min ride through sea ... this one was another smallish island but had a freshwater lake in it !!!
the lake was on top of a small hill ... there were lot of monkeys all over tht place .. after trekking up the hill we reached the lake .. boating facilities were there .. u cud rent a canoe or pedal boat and go across the lake
Once tht was done we moved out of the island after 5 mins we reached a point between a set of uninhabited islands ... this was the place for 'eagle feeding' ... ppl toss food in tht place and eagles come in great numbers , swoop in and grab a bite !after watching it for 10 mins we headed back to the main island .. the whole trip took about 3 hrs
By now we were running out of time .. there were lot more stuff to explore like the Bridge where the Hindi movie 'Don' was shot and a waterfall and couple of places like an island which had a marine park and another one famous for scuba diving ... since we were running out of time we drove around a bit ... had food and returned our rental cars and hung out near Eagle park and took the Ferry back to mainland Malaysia , from where we had to catch an evening train back to Kuala lampur
