PULAU DAYANG BUNTING
Island of a pregnant maiden, that's what it literally means. There is no other means to access the island other than boats, or better still by speed boat. In our case? Semi-speed boat that we rent for the whole excursions that include stopover at Dayang Bunting Island, Eagle watching, and an idyllic beach for swimming.
The rent for one boat (pilot inclusive) is RM250, negotiable most of the time. So don't forget to negotiate price each time.

| All aboard!!!! Does the reverse gear works? |
Speedily towards Dayang Bunting Island, we were thinking if that name resemble any pregnant person? As if the pilot knew what we were thinking, after few minutes, he suddenly stopped the boat, face east and wuallaaa........that is the maiden, and she is pregnant!!!
We tried hard to figure it out,....can you?
 |
| Figure out the head and the tummy. |
 |
| Aaahhhh...got it. It's my tummy after all. Snap snap. |
Dayang Bunting Lake, which is at the centre of the Island is of course freshwater (air tawar). Some legend says that if you are not pregnant after some time 'trying', drink the water from this lake. I don't mind drinking, but I prefer not to get pregnant....hehe....lol.
 |
| To jump or not to jump...... |
 |
| Still thinking, to jump or not...........what? Time to go? |
EAGLE WATCHING
Helang means eagle, so eagle watching should be part of the activities here. This island is used to be a zoo and a night safari, that's why you can see the jetty. Nowadays, it is closed for some reason but I guess the animals must be happier now.
There is a way to call the eagles out, by blowing a whistle and throwing some pieces of chicken into the air,....and suddenly you are surrounded by tens of different types of eagles.
 |
| Where are you eagles..... |
 |
| OO come on eagles........ |
 |
| There you are. |
 |
| Snap time. |
 |
| One thirsty eagle.....lol |
Finally its time to say goodbye.....
 |
| From the house of pink..... |
 |
| From one happy tourist.. |
 |
| to another.. |
