Horse-riding
The Mutiara Burau Bay Equestrian Centre opened in 2004. The stable of horses is impressive and there are ponies for the children too. Visitors can ride horses under the supervision of a team of dedicated handlers, going on a ride through Langkawi’s lush jungle and up the peak of a picturesque mountain.
Most of the horses are rehabilitated race horses given a new lease on life in the tourism industry.
In addition, the professional horse handlers will teach visitors how to properly ride and steer. A trip here would make for a wonderful outing with family or friends.
