Two excellent trips with Junglewalla - We had an amazing time on both the mangrove kayaking and birdwatching trip with Yoni and Jien. They were both very spritely, friendly and informative, provided all necessary equipment and giving us wonderfully varied tour experiences. Kayaking started with some info about the mangroves and 90 mins travelling outward to the coast, followed by a look at some caves home to a colony of bats, and tasty lunch served on a local floating restaurant. Birding started early with a pickup from our hotel and a tour of a variety of habitats including garden, mountain, mangrove, coastal and paddy field environments. Unfortunately, heavy rain cut off our tour early but not before our guide spotted a flock of Great Hornbills from a way off, which we honed in on and got a great view of. Junglewalla offered us 2 inclusive hours of birding for the next day due to the bad weather, Thanks a lot Junglewalla!

Mangrove Kayak tour with Jien - We made a very nice trip with guide Jien. He knew a lot about the flora and fauna of the mangrove area through his studies biodiversity. The tour was very varied; we started with a kayak tour of 2 hours. A hike to the batcave, swimming on a very beautiful island and we end with a delicious lunch at a floating restaurant. Highly recommended!

Great! - We had a great day with Jien. He is a guide who knows many anecdotes and tells the story of this great place while being passionate and attentive to the group. Regarding the Mangrove, it is a beautiful place not to be missed in Langkawi. In addition, at lunch we had the wonderful surprise of eating in a typical restaurant by the water, one of the best restaurants we have tasted!

Awesome kayak tour of the mangroves - This tour was amazing, it was so nice to go out into the tranquil mangroves on kayaks, which let us go into the small channels between the trees and see the spectacular nature.

Amazing tour with fantastic guides - We had a fantastic time! The guides were an absolute delight, we had so much fun with them. They do know what they're doing and could answer all our questions. It was clear to us that they are in love with Langkawi and their main mission is to preserve this incredible environment. Lunch was extremely good. Overall, a super fun tour that we would repeat. Cannot recommend enough :-)

Take a paddle through the mangroves - Exploring the jungle by paddling through the mangroves was an incredible experience. Our knowledgeable guides story told the local fables, and identified and discussed many of the marine life, birds and bats that we saw. The atmosphere was tranquil, silent of humans with only the tweet of birds and buzz of insects, after the paddle we had plenty of time to swim in the waters off a small island, we walked to nearby caves that were full of bats and then served a delicious lunch on a floating barge. 100% recommend this trip.
