Langkawi rainforest hiking trip - Jein is a very knowledgeable guide, he knows all the plants and animals in the forest and patiently introduced all the interesting creatures for us. We enjoyed the 2hr exploration him and felt that we got to know Langkawi and the rainforest geology better.

Relaxing rainforest walking in Langkawi - I found this two-hour morning tour while looking for a short activity. Even though Langkawi is usually crowded at this time of year, our tour was just three people.
Walking through the rainforest was really refreshing, especially for someone like me who usually lives in Kuala Lumpur. I got bitten by a lot of insects, Japanese repellent didn’t work. the tiger-balm(?) repellent Rohdi, our guide, had seemed to work better.
She shared many interesting things, but the most memorable was how some leaves can be used like natural hand soap. When I applied it to insect bites, the itching went away.
She also reminded me of a Japanese word “shinrin-yoku,” which I had forgotten even as a Japanese.
Rodhi said, even for experienced guide, there’s always something new to discover, so I’d love to join again next time I’m in Langkawi.

Wonderful Jungeltour with Our Guide Jian - I did this tour with my two kids and we had such a great time! We learned so many new things about the local plants and the whole ecosystem. Our guide, Jian, was very friendly and explained everything really well. The trail was easy to walk and perfect for beginners. We truly enjoyed it and had lots of fun!

A perfect rainforest walk! - If you wish to learn more about Langkawi’s rainforests, this is the walk for you. Our guide Shafwan was, in addition to being friendly and helpful, extremely knowledgeable. We learnt a great deal about rainforest trees and plant life from him. He’s a true nature lover who enjoys jungle trekking and exploring and we enjoyed hearing his stories. He has given us a deeper appreciation of rainforests and that is exactly what you want from a walk like this. Absolutely highly recommended.

Fantastic night safari with kids - We went with our two daughters, aged 5 and 7, on the night time wildlife tour. We set off around 530 up the mountain stopping to see some interesting wildlife and learn some facts about the local area. Our guide Afie was knowledgeable and articulate and great at spotting birds. It was very relaxed, and the children had a great time too. The walking part in the dark was a highlight as we saw a flying squirrel glide from tree to tree. We also spotted a toad. Fantastic experience thank you xx

Junglewalla rainforest walk - The Rainforest Walk took about two hours and was led by Shafwan, our very well informed and helpful guide. Shafwan told us a lot about trees, animals, birds, insects, and more, and stopped regularly to point out items of interest and to explain what we were seeing. He helped us to have some sense of the complexity of the rainforest. The walk is not very strenuous but you do need to be reasonably fit. This was an excellent experience. Enjoyable and informative and I recommend it in the strongest terms.

Hike through the local forest - Our guide, Jien, made the tour very enjoyable. He taught us a lot about the local plants, and we were also able to spot a few insects. In addition, he explained how to behave in the jungle. Conversations with him were relaxed and interesting. Overall, it was a very pleasant experience with a very friendly and knowledgeable guide.
