- Kilim Karst Geoforest Park - Embark on a boat journey along the winding Kilim River, navigating through the intricate maze formed by the aerial roots and dense leaves of the mangrove trees. This delicate ecosystem supports a diverse array of species in the Andaman Sea, and we often spot various mangrove-dwelling animals. We’ll also explore how the mangrove environment supports cottage industries like fish farming. Our first stop involves the boatman stopping the engine and tossing chicken pieces into the water to attract eagles. Soon, you’ll witness eagles swooping down to snatch the chicken pieces, soaring back into the sky with their catch. As we leave the mangroves, you’ll see impressive limestone rock formations and sea stacks rising dramatically from the ocean. These ancient coral structures, thrust into the sky millions of years ago, host a unique and ancient group of plants found nowhere else on earth.
- Gua Kelawar (Bat Cave) - Next, we’ll explore the dark bat caves, rich with legendary tales of mystery and romance.
- Kilim Karst Geoforest Park - We’ll visit a modern floating fish farm and a local fish farm as part of the tour. Our boat will drop you off at the floating fish farm in a secluded cove surrounded by towering limestone and granite cliffs. You’ll have plenty of time to observe the stingrays and other sea creatures kept in the ‘tanks,’ but we won’t spoil the surprise—it’s well worth the visit. After a half-day of new experiences, the boat will return to the jetty, and the driver will take you back to your original hotel or port pickup location.

Boat trip around North Langkawi - Had a really good time seeing the wonderful rainforest islands of Langkawi, definitely a worthy experience to get on a boat and see the nature, included a good guide and a lunch too.

Warning! Check currency of quoted price. Don't bother with lunch. - Unfortunately I was silly and thought the price I was quoted was local currency, so I thought I was getting a bargain. After booking I realized the price was in Singaporean dollars, and about 4 times the price I thought I was paying. My fault for not checking, but felt misleading for website to show prices in a different currency. The company were not able to refund me as I booked 21 hours before the trip and they don't allow refunds within 24 hours of the trip - even though I tried to cancel immediately after booking. We just had to go with it even though I could have booked for half the price through the hotel.
This was a bad start to the trip, but.... on the plus side the landscape was beautiful and the boat was fun. Overall we enjoyed it, but a few things were not as described and ultimately we felt ripped off.
We were sold a premium lunch. What we got was a plastic bag with a tiny piece of fish and rice and a bag full of soup or sauce. There was no food or drinks provided for our 3 year old even though we had paid for him. We were rushed through the trip and told we could eat the lunch at the end on the beach. The beach was beautiful so this would have been nice, but when we were dropped at the beach we had no plates or spoons to eat the food. I guess we were supposed to drink the soup from the bag. Not what I expected after spending $400usd for just 2 adults and a young child. For half the price I would have been fine with this. We also had to pack up the lunch (we actually threw it away) because we were told the trip had ended and our driver had another job so could not wait for us to even eat the food. The trip states 3.5 hours but according to the driver the trip was only 2 hours.
Also, just a small thing, but the itinerary said they feed the eagles so you can see them up close. This did not happen, apparently there are restrictions on this now. Which I understand, but the trip description should be updated.
Ultimately, this felt like a basic experience at a premium price point. I recommend you book directly through your hotel or even ask a local driver to organise this trip for you to ensure you get your money's worth.... And skip the lunch option.
