Exploring the Rebirth of Pulau Singa Besar, Langkawi
Welcome to the new chapter of Pulau Singa Besar in Langkawi now renamed as Lion Marine, an island paradise that has emerged from its cocoon of conservation to unveil a pristine natural haven. Formerly known as Pulau Singa Besar, this enchanting island in the heart of the Langkawi archipelago is set to reopen its shores to visitors on February 3, 2024, promising a renewed commitment to preserving its ecological wonders.
A Brief History of Conservation:
Previously known as Pulau Singa Besar, this island was a haven for wildlife enthusiasts. Visitors were treated to enchanting encounters with ample mouse deer, majestic hornbills, soaring eagles, playful monkeys, and a myriad of other flora and fauna habitats. The island’s charm was not just in its natural beauty but in the harmonious coexistence of diverse species. Upon reopening, we expect the mousedeer and Monkey could take time to be used to being near humans again.
Myths and Legend About Pulau Singa Besar
Legend has it that Pulau Singa Besar, signifying “Island of Giant Lions” or “Great Lion Island,” earned its name due to the mythical guardian fairy Mambang Sari. According to the tale, Mambang Sari placed lions on the islands as protectors. It’s worth noting that Mambang Sari is the same fairy nymph renowned for her connection to the nearby Pulau Dayang Bunting. Pulau Singa Besar is complemented in nomenclature by a smaller neighboring island to the north, known as Pulau Singa Kecil (Lesser Lion Island). Other smaller islets in the vicinity include Pulau Jong to the east of Tanjung Pekula and Pulau Chupak to the southeast of Tanjung Genting.
