Your driver pick you up from your hotel around 9am before you head to Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, one of the biggest hot spots of eco-tourism in the entire region. Embark on the boat and cruise along Kilim River, replete with dense green mangroves and gigantic limestone rocks rising from the river bed. Keep looking at the mangrove area and the muddy flats, you will see lots of amazing animal life such as several species of birds, squirrels, mud crabs, monkeys, and lizards. Next, we will reach the floating fish farm and watch archer fish jump a long way out of the water. The boatman will take you to a calm water area surrounded by high rocks and forest where you will see a grand spectacle – eagle feeding. Boat engine will be stopped and your guide will throws some chicken skin pieces into the water. You can observe and watch eagles flying near to you. The boat will then reach the Bat Cave, aka Gua Kelawar, and see the large population of Malaysian fruit bats that reside here. From the wooden pathway, you will see some monkeys along the mangrove and the pathway soon will lead you to the mouth of the cave. From here, you'll walk through the crocodile cave but there are no crocodiles, it’s just the shape of this shallow cave that allow your boat to go pass. Continue your tour to the Black Sand Beach, one of Langkawi oldest fishing village that offer a sense of calm and serenity. There is a jetty which serves as a nice spot for photography or visitors can simple laze at the beach or sunbathing. Last stop is Tanjung Rhu located just beyond Black Sand Beach.

Scenic but not informational

3.00While it was a scenic river cruise to the caves and sights, there was hardly any explanation from the boatman re the Geoforest Park or the natural wonders that we saw.
The ultimate mangrove experience

5.00Tanjung Rhu is truly a must when visiting Langkawi. The average cost of renting one boat is RM 200 and the boat ride takes approximately 2 hours where you first start off by looking at soaring eagles. The boat operators normally throw raw chicken meat into the water and you can see these eagles soaring down to eat them. Then you go through the mangrove area where you see 100’s of monkeys just hanging around and chilling. You will also stop by a small fish farm where you will be introduced to various species of fishes. Before ending the tour, you will be taken to a cave where you can see 100’s of bats. Must watch out for the monkeys that will grab your plastics bags as they might think you have food in them !
The tour operator tried to pocket more money and threatened the tourists

1.00It was terrible. The tour operator and the driver did not follow itinerary, forced tourist to wrong place that out of plan, let customers waste too much time for moving and waiting. Especially, the tour operator tried to pocket more money of tourists and threatening us if we don't agree to pay surcharge for bad service, bad attitude. Please keep away from the tour and MAM holidays.

5.00Once in a lifetime experience…our boat took us through the mangroves of Kilim Geoforest park where we watched eagle feeding and explored the bat caves followed by a visit to the fish farm and indulged in seafood at the floating restaurant …then we rode out into the open sea with a light drizzle caressing our cheeks..it was a wonderful experience…our driver cum guide Abu(+60 12 365 9345) gave us a lot of info about Langkawi and Malaysian way of life in general..
Great trip would recommend

Forget yourself in the lap of mother nature- a must do tour

5.00Just one word : Peaceful. Review- We took a full day mangrove tour in sharing. It's fun that other people join you and enjoy each others company. The tour guide was from HBS company and he was really nice. The tour started near to Tanjung Rhu village jetty and ended in Tanjung Rhu beach. We started at 10:15am and activities included are as below: 1. Fish feeding. The boat guide took us to this fish feeding area after all the way island cruising which was very exciting. Sea and small green islands make such a beauty. Feast for eyes :) 2. crocodile cave- Due to high tides the boat didn't go inside but we enjoyed the beauty from outside. And also there's no crocodile just the shape of cave is like a giant crocodile. 3. Monkey Feeding - Met cute monkeys and their family living on the mangrove trees. For food they swim and few monkeys even came to our boat which we enjoyed a lot. 4. Cruising all way to the river we reached to Eagle feeding area. There were two groups of eagle one in brown color and one with white and black color wings. ohh they are beauty. 5. Stopped at some floating restaurant where we saw some different kinds of fish and had snacks. 6. next stop was bat cave. It was again a nice experience... although this is small than Batu caves of KL but yes indeed it was also beautiful. 7. came back to floating restaurant and had lunch. Good for seafood not for vegetarians. Only rice and juice for veg people. 8. They took us to sea cruising and it was really fun.Finally arrived at Tanjung Rhu beach. Enjoyed for some time and here the trip ends at 3:30PM . Driver will pick you back to hotel. some important points: 1. Sharing full day tour ticket is of RM 90 which includes pickup and drop from hotel. 2. You can opt for half day tour too which cost RM60 but I would suggest to take full day tour which takes around 4-5 hours. 3. You can book the tours from Airport itself... keeping prices in mind. you might bargain a little... All on you luck.
