-What You Can Expect-
After your exploration and adventure, no need to go home yet because you will
wash the day away at one of Langkawi’s amazing white sandy beaches!
While on the boat rides, enjoy the breathtaking landscape of Kilim. Emerald
green river water, pristine mangrove forests and towering limestone rock
formations will capture and hold one’s attention.
Watch for fantastic animal lives such as brahmini kite and white-bellied sea
eagles, exotic birds, mud crabs, squirrels, monkeys, and monitor lizards.
There are many varieties of fish in the waters, and if you are lucky, you can
also spot an otter or even a dolphin.
Check out some of these fantastic places that you will visit on your Langkawi

In addition to the usual tropical hornbills and kingfishers, Langkawi is home
to mighty birds of prey. Among these are the eagles, a sight to behold and a
symbol for Langkawi. The brahminy kite, or brown eagle, is one of the most
common. So numerous are these birds that you can count on seeing one if you
take the time to journey into the wet parts of Langkawi or bother taking time
in the mountains. Indeed, you’ll find statues of this bird all over the island
— the same might be said for the more common white-bellied eagle.
Despite their name, crab-eating macaques do not consume crabs! Instead, they
prey on vertebrates and plants. These monkeys are ecologically diverse and can
be spotted in coastal lowland forests and swamp forests. A clear dominance
hierarchy is seen among females, with male members leaving the group at the
time of puberty.
Situated off the Kilim River, Crocodile Cave is unique because it is a natural
tunnel developed in the limestone by an underground stream that once flowed in
this area during the low sea level. Now the tunnel turns into a beautiful
cave. The river flows right through the arched cave, and at low tide, a small
boat can navigate from one side to the other. When looked at at certain
angles, this cave resembles a look of a crocodile. Hence the name of the cave
came about. There are no crocodiles to be sighted in this cave.
Kelawar (Bats) Cave is located in the heart of Kilim mangrove swamps within
the Kisap Forest Reserve. The cave is about 60 m long and was named because it
supports hundreds of bats. It consists of two caves. Exciting features and
structures in these caves include stalactites, stalagmites, and fallen rock
blocks. The most exciting and vital part is the occurrence of old shells
encrusting on the cave wall and roof. Radiocarbon dating indicated that the
shells are about 5000 years old. The altitude of the shells clusters shows
that the sea level was 2 m higher than the present level.
Set your fee and explore the local floating fish farm in Langkawi Kilim
Geoforest Park that works as a modern fish-farming and proficiency system. A
Fish Show is performed by the Geoforest Private Fish Farm and Restaurant
staff. You likewise can hand feed the stingray named Ali, Abu and Ahmad.3
Males in a similar net. Another fascinating fish you can discover here is the
shooting archer that hops far out of the water to remove the piece of bread
from your fingers.
Located in the east of Langkawi is the largest of the three main parks, Kilim
Karst Geoforest Park, named after the river that runs through it and the rock
strata that predominate. The mangrove forests have created an environment for
several rare species of flora and fauna, such as the limestone cycad, which
grows on vertical cliff faces, bright yellow sea hibiscus, and the iconic
brahminy kite and sea eagle.
End your trip with a dip in the calm waters and watch colourful fishes swim by
at the Dangli Island. Pulau Dangli Beach is a small island to the north of
Pulau Langkawi. The uninhabited island is visible from the beach at Tanjung
Rhu. Located 2 miles off the northern shore of Langkawi, Pulau Dangli is yet
another crowd-pleaser with lots of vibrant aquatic life and coral reefs on
offer. One can expect the scintillating views of large groupers and, if lucky,
some rare ones. Calm seas and high visibility make snorkelling at Pulau Dangli
Beach very easy.
