Cave & Mangrove Adventure

This is a unique experience, different from the normal coach tour. Equipped with your own towel, binoculars and a good pair of walking shoes, set out to be one with Nature. Discover an ecosystem of winding rivers, mangrove forests and isolated islands and limestone formations. Cruise through a wonderfully serene nature park, where you will observe thousands of bats in a cave, eagles feeding, and several species of Malaysian fish being farmed in the river. Travel across Langkawi, a ruggedly mountainous archipelago of rainforests, lakes and waterfalls. At the Kilim jetty along the banks of its namesake river, you will board small 12-seater fiberglass boats and begin cruising through an ecosystem of winding river waters, passing thick mangrove forests, isolated islands and limestone rock formations. Upon reaching the Bat Cave, you will walk along a wooden platform into the heart of this underworld wonderland, where thousands of bats can be seen hanging upside down, while having a siesta, from the ceiling of the cave, which was formed millions of years ago.

Another highlight is the fish farm nearby that floats on a wooden platform just above the water’s surface. Silver-colored shooting fish (also known as archer fish), black stingrays and horseshoe crabs are among the species typically harvested here, and you may have the chance to feed them. You will also watch an eagle feeding that offers a close-up look at some of the park’s raptors, such as the White-bellied Fish Eagle and Brahminy Kite.
