Jungle and Beach Ride

I booked a jungle and beach ride with Perdana Stables.

Passing through lush of greenery while heading out.

Small stream along the way.

Magnificent view between the mountain area connecting to the beach.

We have arrived the beautiful sandy beach. Berjaya Resort is on the right side.

Walking on water with splash of the waves.

Stopped to pose at calming water.

We continued our trail to walk passed the trees next to the beach.

Walking slowly on a long stretch of tree next to the beach.

We went up to a small hill to see the additional man-made islands in Langkawi that made up the 101 instead of 99 islands.

Came down from the hill to enter back the beach.

Approaching the beach.

More stunning views along the beach.

Let’s get closer to the water.

The water is so calming.

It’s time for a bit of cantering.

Walking back while enjoying the mountain view.

You can see the Langkawi Skybridge Cable Car in operation along the way back.

Pimienta, a lovely Anglo-Arabian that gave me a wonderful ride with soft cantering. Getting a shower after the morning working shift.

I had the opportunity to chat with Hamzah, the founder of Perdana Stables and one of most respectable trainers in the Malaysia horse riding industry. No words can describe the contribution and dedication Hamzah put in the horse industry over the last few decades.

The Langkawi Horse Show originated by Hamzah and his team (the Hanssens’ family) is one of the most unique horse shows in Malaysia. You must check it out if you have the opportunity.
