Langkawi: Kilim Mangrove Boat Tour with Lunch and Pickup

1.Kilim Mangrove Boat Tour with Lunch and Pickup

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 899 reviews · 5 hours · from $47Our pick

Review of Langkawi’s Kilim Mangrove Boat Tour, with hotel pickup, lunch, wildlife, limestone scenery, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“The sceneries of Kilim Geoforest Park are most beautiful, and the activities of the Boat Tour are highly enjoyable and educational. Our guide SARA is probably the best in my travel experiences across the world - she spoke perfect English, very knowledgeable and is extremely kind, friendly and professional. Besides the main sights, she showed us many hidden treasures that probably only our group had the opportunity to enjoy, e.g. the tiny owl, the rare rock bees nests, the special fishes, etc. SARA is an example of outstanding guide, who brought professionalism, knowledge, fun and joy to all visitors, and made their tour a memorable experience in their life. Overall,…”

“Simon our tour guide was very good from the beginning, communicating to us the expectations from the beginning. Eventful day as it rained in the late afternoon non stop. Seeing the Fireflies even when it was raining was exciting. Simon is very knowledgeable and his stories made the trip even more fun 1 comment- Simon needs a microphone in his van so that we can hear his stories at the back.”

“Jan was an amazing tour guide - he’s funny and friendly to everyone and we all had a great time: also the boat was nice and slow and quiet compared to other boats which was respectful of nature and allowed us to listen for nature sounds: most importantly Jan and his tour was respectful of wildlife - we didn’t feed them or invite monkeys onto our boat like other tours around us. A great experience.”

The tour was way more exstensive than we expected (visiting a bat cave and a fishing farm). The food was basic but delicious!”

Review of Langkawi’s private Kilim mangrove boat tour, with caves, eagle watching, snorkeling, beach time, lunch, price, and practical tips.

“It was amazing. We had ample amount of time for everything. The tour operator was really responsible, responsive and was always there to support us. Clear instructions and communication was always right from the tour booking time till the end of the trip. 1 suggestion would be include drinking water in the boat, even though you have the facility to buy water at the fish farm. Overall amazing experience.”

Explore Langkawi’s mangroves, Bat Cave, fish farm, eagle feeding area, Crocodile Cave, and island beach on a practical four-hour boat tour.

“I absolutely do not recommend this activity. It’s a complete tourist trap. First of all, you are asked to arrive at 9:45 a.m., but the activity doesn’t actually start until 10:30 a.m. Then, the guide we had was completely useless apart from driving the boat. No explanations were given about the park at all. He didn’t even come with us into the bat cave. Most importantly, do NOT listen to them: DO NOT BRING SNACKS. The “guide” will take you to an isolated island for 40 minutes without warning you that it is full of monkeys. The monkeys will attack you and try to steal your food. The guide didn’t…”
