Langkawi Mangrove Santai-Santai@Kilim Geopark - Langkawi, Kedah

Great service! The private tour was super easy to book, with no headache. You can even decide on the starting time and duration. They also offer shared tours if you prefer. Found them on Google and contacted them via Whatsapp. They sent me all the details and then proceeded with the booking. No advance payment is necessary, but they only take cash. We really recommend captain Fikri. He was already waiting for us at the location when we got there. On top of being nice and friendly, he’s a great guide! He shared so many insights about the places we visited. Plus, his boat was in excellent condition. The boat ride itself is really enjoyable. The scenery is breathtaking. It reminded me of the Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. The eagle watching is also pretty awesome. The fish farm visit was a bit useless. As for the bat cave, it is tiny but you get to see some monkeys. The bat cave’s entrance fee is not included, so make sure you bring some extra cash (2MYR/adult, 1MYR/child). I believe this tour is the best activity you can do on the island, especially if you have no kids. I am only saying this because it seems like most of the activities in Langkawi are children oriented.

A Journey Through Time at Kilim Geoforest Park

Stepping into Kilim Geoforest Park is like walking through the pages of Earth's history. The ancient limestone formations, some dating back 500 million years, stand as natural skyscrapers, telling tales of the planet's past. The sprawling mangrove forests, teeming with life, are a testament to the resilience of nature.

As the CEO of a company that cherishes sustainable tourism, I was particularly impressed by the park's dedication to conservation. The guided boat tours offer not just a glimpse into the rich biodiversity but also educate visitors on the importance of preserving these natural wonders.

The experience of exploring the park's caves and witnessing the unique geological features is both humbling and exhilarating. It's a reminder of the beauty and fragility of our natural world and the responsibility we have to protect it.

Kilim Geoforest Park is more than just a destination; it's an immersive experience that leaves you with a deeper appreciation for nature's marvels. A must-visit for anyone traveling to Langkawi.

Wife and i had the private tour with Francis and the pilot. More than 2 hours journey to the tightest stream at the mangroves forest feeling yourself like in a western documentary or movies. Francis was so well prepared reciting all interesting facts regarding all types of forest in the area and the ecosystem. It is crucial to maintain and retain all these nature's gift to us for generations to come. You got to see fish ponds, parks of yachts as well as flocks of eagle. Our fee was reasonable at RM300++ . Worth every penny.

Slight hiccup for this adventure. I engaged with Cikgu Ismail of Langkawi Travellers and Recreation Sdn Bhd on December 2021 for my family trip on February 2022. Initially, the conversation via whatsapp was smooth and decided to take package D which covers snorkeling at Dangli Island:

RM 350.00 Normal Price

🦇Bat Cave
🐠Fish Farm
🦅Eagle Watching
🌊Andaman Sea
🐊Crocodie Cave
🌊Beach ( Swimming)
🐬Dangli Island ( Fish Feeding)

*****This package is offered with No meals and No pick up and drop off service.

After paid booking fee RM100 via online transfer, a receipt was given as booking fee proof.
When we need more details, he cant deliver even he promise to give. Ultimately, after 2months waiting, he just told me that the info will only given a day before the trip. Sigh! Another contact number was given for the boatman to proceed.
Unfortunately, at this eleventh hour we just been informed that the snorkeling gear was separately for rent, adults RM15 and kids RM10. This was so unprofessional as I did tried to get information as soon as I confirmed.
This will be my last deal with the travel agent.
As for the trip, everything went well as plan. The boat driver did good job explaining during the trip but unfortunately did not assist on keeping our gear from flying out the boat. My wife's and my daughter's hat were blown away by the wind as he left us to swim at Andaman sea. The boat's seat can be lift up to insert goods for safety.
The trip was 4 hours with dedicated boat.

My advise :
1. For snorkeling,check if the rental snorkeling included or best do bring your own.
2. Bring bread for snorkeling.
3. Find an agent that is transparent to explain the package.

Wir nahmen die Zwei-Stunden-Tour und waren sehr zufrieden. Allerdings sind die Preise pro Boot schon recht happig, 250 RM für eine einstündige Fahrt und 350 RM für zwei Stunden. Am besten ist es, wenn sich mehrere Leute zusammen tun.

Alles in allem war es gut, besonders die eigentliche Bootsfahrt nach der Fledermaus-Höhle.

The cheapest mangrove tour I was able to find was 50 myr.. We actually took one with 55 myr per person from Cenang Beach Tourist Information Center (shared boat, 4.30 hours from pick up to return and included drive to the boat and back) which included fish farm, swimming monkeys, eagle feeding, crocodile cave, bat cave with a guide who speaks good English and tells you a lot of funny stories and info about mangroves, eagles, bats, monkeys and Langkawi... The tour operators will try to sell you private tours with 250-350 myr per boat per hour... ask for a shared tour and negotiate it down to 45-50 myr per person or if they include lunch and some more objectives it's ok to cost little bit more 🙂 I loved the most the swimming monkeys and the fish feeding at the fish farm, the mangroves... bat Cave is also nice and eagle feeding interesting... we also found a big snake, very difficult to spot. Crocodile cave is the least interesting and usually on high tide they can't enter with the boats inside... but all the tour worths the money!

We enjoyed our Geopark Mangrove Tour through HBS Evergreen Tours. Our guide Mr. A, and our boat Captain Mr.Z, did a great job in showing us the highlights of the Mangrove Tour. We stopped at several places of interest along the way, and included a basic lunch midway. Great value for a day of fun...must do...enjoy!

Professional boat guide with lots of patience, knowledge & boating skills. Enjoyable 2 hour scenic ride especially @ monkey colony who are very intelligent ie will sniff any food given to determine if it is edible or poisonous. These well behave forest smart long tail monkey don’t snatch drink, food nor tourists personal belonging. Enjoy the well preserved matured mangrove which protected Langkawi during 2004 Tsunami. Anyone who logs these rite five mangrove will be fined between rm10k to rm500k. Watch about a dozen Protected white (sea) & brown (mangrove) eagles swooping down for food provided by boats. Last boat ride is @ 6pm. Enjoy😁
