Best kayaking nature experience ! - Superb morning out to the mangrove river at Kubang Badak and even more exciting with the kayak. The place is serene and untouched. We also did a short light hike, visited the limestone caves and saw bats. Took a short boat ride to Jemuruk island for a swim in the sea which gave us a good appetite for the delicious lunch on a floating restaurant. Kidos to the guide for all the great information and keeping us safe. Thumbs up to the boatman too. Kayak equipments are good. All in all this tour with Junglewalla is a must do when visiting Langkawi. A perfect nature adventure experience easy for anyone to participate.

Wonderful Mangrove Kayaking - The Mangrove Kayaking tour was excellent. Online Booking was easy on Junglewalla website and Azri was very prompt in all of his reply via WhatsApp. We arranged hotel pick up service as we didn't want to be late for the tour and the driver was very punctual. Upon arrival at starting point, our tour guide Masyi was very polite and friendly as she answered all our questions about the tour and it's surroundings. As we started to kayak, she explained the landscape and history of the langkawi mangrove. The Kayak made it easy for us to be close to the water and experience the mangrove. We made several stops along the way as she gave us time to enjoy the sights and highlighted the animals that existed in the mangrove. She is very thoughtful in ensuring (several times) that we are doing okay as we kayak. We stopped at a small island for a brief dip in the sea to cool off and went to a private local floating restaurant for lunch. The food was delicious and freshly cooked by the chef. We chose Junglewalla because they preserve nature in it's original form without any feeding of animals or disturbance to the landscape.

Don't hesitate to book the kayaking tour! - Our kayak tour was a few days ago already but it's still the highlight of our trip to Malaysia. It wasn't only the kayaking, we also loved the hiking, boating, swimming and an amazing lunch at a private hut on the water. So much variety in just one outing! And of course we have to mention our tour guide Maysi, who was so informative and a joy to listen to.

100% over and over again 👌🏼👌🏼 - We did a mangrove tour yesterday and deliberately chose this provider because we were important, as no animals are fed and everything goes a bit with a view to "nature conservation" etc. We were not disappointed! It was super informative and interesting. Our guide Masyi was super nice and had a lot of interesting information for us. We can only recommend the tour and this provider.

An eco-friendly way of visiting and learning about the mangroves - We did the mangrove kayaking and swimming tour with Shafwan as our guide. He was a very knowledgeable guide who explained us a lot about the local flora and fauna, as well as the mangroves and the importance for the ecosystem. Jungle Walla really cares about the environment and the impacts on the ecosystems and wildlife. We learned a lot during the tour. The tour was completely separate from all other kayaking/boating tours. During our almost four hours on the water, we did not see any other boats or tourists. This made the experience super unique. Overall we had a wonderful time during this kayaking/swimming tour. Also the food during the lunch was absolutely delicious.

The perfect half-day adventure - Such a great half-day experience, with our knowledgeable and friendly guide, Afie. Perfectly paced, learnt a lot and the lunch at the end on the floating restaurant was one of the best meals we had all holiday. Highly recommend for those keen to get off the tourist track but not pushed to your limits!

Awesome kayak tour - We did the kayak tour with Afie and we had a wonderful experience! Me and my girlfriend were lucky that we were only with the 2 of us. This made it even more fun. A fun mix of sports and learning about the environment.

A relaxing, informative tour in nature - Shafwan and Fitri were excellent, knowledgeable guides who had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the area. Unfortunately, we could not go very far into the mangroves themselves because of the tide, but we enjoyed all aspects of the tour; the kayaking, swimming and the cave visit. The lunch was delicious with huge portions. We would have liked to have done more kayaking - maybe they should extend it to a full day tour!
