Kilim Geoforest Park

Travel by boat through the twists and turns of the Kilim river through the maze created by aerial roots and thick fleshy leaves of the mangrove trees. We often see mangrove animals that make their home in this delicately balanced ecosystem which is responsible for the health and wide variety of species in the Andaman Sea. We also explore how the mangrove area is a perfect environment for cottage industries such as fish farms. Our first stop is The boatman will stop the engine and throw some chicken pieces out into the water to invite the eagles. And in no time you will see eagles diving down just next to you and clawing up the chicken pieces and eating them as they soar into the sky. As we venture out of the mangroves you will see majestic limestone rock formations and sea stacks that rise dramatically from the ocean. This ancient coral thrust into the sky millions of years ago is home to a unique and ancient group of plants found no where else on earth.

Kilim Geopark was a true natural wonder and our guide Ali made it a very special day. There was a lot of interesting things to see. That being said there was a real problem with transportation to and from the cruise terminal. We contacted the operator through the Viator app the day before the tour to confirm pickup details and received a prompt response. The day of the tour the driver arrived 45 minutes and we had to call him. We learned from other passengers that they had also experienced similar delays. As for the ride to the park we found the van to be very crowded and in poor condition. It was not what we have come to expect from a Viator tour.

The bat cave was disappointing as we saw about 3 bats, the mangroves however were great and the boat journey was fast and a lot of fun. We went to a beautiful beach which was actually in Thailand, we had to ensure no sand went back onto the boat so the captain washed our feet with water before we got back on. Both myself and another traveller slipped as we got back on the boat. The driver of the minibus who picked us up from the port was very grumpy, the minibus was very cramped and we had to wait half an hour for 2 guests who were late. My husband said did we have to wait for them and the driver told us to pay to get a taxi if we weren't happy

We had difficulty finding our driver who was late. The boats through mangrove were difficult to get in and out of which we had to do frequently. The boat driver was racing the boat much too fast with other boats and we had no life jackets. I thought the boat was going to crash or tip over several times. The stops were not very good— a bat cave we had to go through in the dark, 30 minutes on a small beach, 30 minutes to watch fish feed. Our original driver didn’t plan to come back to drive us home so we had to get a taxi back. Very disappointing tour.
Not bad, a few more experiences I would have liked to have had

Couldn't see the bat cave because there is a bridge broken, so that was a bummer. Also couldn't go through Crocodile cave because of high tide. But saw plenty of wildlife and the secret beach.
We had a wonderful time and I think it was worth the money.

Great day on the water. Loved the natural beauty of the park. Our guide was very knowledgeable, grata sense of humour and spoke well. Didn’t need to go to the fishing village twice. Maybe the meal could be put together a little better, but was nice enough.
