About
A guided 5-hour tour to Kilim Geoforest Park, an amazing activity that takes place in an awe-inspiring ecosystem that can be found in Langkawi. Encompassing a wide area of protected rainforest, this pristine environment is home to a large number of birds, reptiles, mammals, and insects. Witness the hundreds of tiny star-like bioluminescent phytoplankton - scintillating like a starry sky as you move through the dark water.

We booked a night safari on a boat with 3 other couples. The enthusiastic guide was very sweet and clearly new a lot about the park, which made the tour that much more enjoyable! We saw a lot of different fauna (and flora), like otters, snakes, eagles etc.
Because we did the night tour, the park was closed and exclusive for us. The diner/bbq was on a floating restaurant and very nice; you could even chose your own local seafood if you'd like.
It was one of, if not the most beautiful tour we saw in Malaysia; would recommend!

A wonderful and not to miss place at Langkawi. A little far from the beach but cab is easily available. Everyone knows this place.

Great views of Kingkong Hill, Eagle feeding session, monkeys, bat cave, crocodile cave....all in all, a must visit place. I booked the tour online, but when I reached Langkawi, I found many tourist agents were offering the tour for much less. Its worth to visit some tourist agent and negotiate on the tour. Dont forget to carry your water bottle, shades, and cap adn there is no way of getting the same once you board the boat. The speed boat ride to the Andaman Sea is good worth in itself.

The 5 hour Mangrove night safari was fun and exciting. Our guide Fatul and boat captain Jan showed us a lots of animals, bats, birds, sea hawks, phytoplankton etc and told us interesting things about the ecosystem. We had a nice barbecue-dinner (I am glutenintolerant but they managed to made nice dishes to me.).

Dear Malin, Thank you for your kind review. I'm glad that you enjoyed the trip. I started out my F&B career (in the hospitality and tourism industry) more that 15 years ago, it thought me how to understand the customer's diet restrictions. And now in Langkawi Mangrove Night Safari, we are applying the same principle, where our customer's satisfaction is our top priority 😘😘. I'm happy that our team managed to serve the gluten-free meal for a special guest like you. Thank you again & hope to see you again in the future. Regards, Shah.

We did the mangrove kayaking which brought us first to bat cave via boat, next we kayak around the mangrove area and went to sightsee eagles. Our guide Shah was enthusiastic, genuine, and knowledgeable. Overall a great experience, and it’s highly recommended!

The tour was not a total bust because despite the issues outlined below, the natural beauty and wild life of the geopark was breathtaking - e.g., several monkeys, eagles and other birds, jellyfish, cave bats, and bioluminescent plankton. That said, my husband and I (and others in our group night safari tour) were very disturbed when the guide actively fed / encouraged others in the group to feed a family of monkeys on the shore some peanuts. This is not a petting zoo — this is a national park with wild animals, and I wish the guide had respected that by encouraging the people to admire the monkeys from afar rather than disturbing their ecosystem / biology by feeding them human food. It was especially troubling when the guide actively encouraged the monkeys to COME INTO OUR SMALL BOAT so people could continue feeding the monkeys and take their Instagram pictures of themselves TOUCHING the monkeys, WILD ANIMALS. This was a blatant public health threat to the humans and an ecological threat to the monkeys. In summary, if all you want out of this breathtakingly beautiful national park is some Instagram photos of yourself inappropriately feeding and touching wild animals, while stuck on a small boat with 10 obnoxious tourists who would rather document the sites than actually view them, by all means sign up. If, however, you were hoping to enjoy nature without human interference / active harm, and without stopping 25 times for everyone to snap a million Insta photos from 40 different angles, AVOID this provider. (As an aside, the dinner they served was not good.)

Dear 94robinj, We would like to apologize for your recent experience. We are sorry to hear you were less than satisfied with our boat tour. We pride ourselves on our Langkawi Mangrove Night Safari tour and the high-quality standards we maintain (by referring to the reviews at our Trip Advisor page and Facebook page by our previous guests). We would like to make things right. Here are our justifications on your above review: 1) Monkey feeding activity and guests were disturbed. - There are more than 260 types of monkeys in the world. The one that you have seen during our boat tour is called “Crab-eating Macaque”. The species is a cercopithecine primate native to Southeast Asia. Despite their name, crab-eating macaques typically do not consume crabs as their main food source. They are opportunistic omnivores, eating a variety of animals and plants. This species has become a proficient swimmer and diver for crabs and other crustaceans in mangrove swamps. Humans and crab-eating macaques have shared environments since prehistoric times, and both used to share the forest and river edge habitats. A study in Singapore recorded that their diets are consisting of 44% fruits and nuts, 27% animal matter, 15% flowers and other plant matter, and 14% food provided by humans. Nuts (in our case, peanuts) are high in carbohydrates, protein, and fats. This species is using nuts as its main protein supplements. The peanuts that our Nature Guide had use during the tour were natural seeds, which were not harmful to the monkeys. In fact, the monkeys use the peanuts as their source of protein. That was the reason why our Nature Guide was feeding them with peanuts. That was not true that the rest of the guests in your boat were disturbed by the monkey feeding activity. I personally asked one couple from Luxembourg who were in the same boat with you, about their opinion of the boat tour and both of them were extremely happy and enjoying the trip and according to them, the tour was so informative and gave them a new experience. Besides, our Naturalists / Nature Guides are trying to change the perception of human towards the monkeys (monkeys are said to be wild, aggressive, dangerous, and harmful). Furthermore, our Nature Guides are all certified Naturalists, with a Green Badge License. In order to get the license, they must attend and pass the Local Nature Tourist Guide Course that is conducted by the Department of Wildlife and National Parks, under the supervision of Ministry of Tourism, Arts, and Culture of Malaysia. Our guides are highly trained and experienced to deal with the wildlife, especially monkeys. 2) Ecological threat to the monkey (By feeding them). - The IUCN Red List categorizes the Crab-eating Macaque species as Least Concern, and CITES lists them as Appendix II ("not necessarily threatened with extinction", in which trade must be controlled to avoid use incompatible with their survival). A recent review of their populations suggests a need for better monitoring of populations due to increased wild trade and rising levels of human-macaque conflict, which are reducing overall population levels despite the species being widely distributed. The crab-eating macaque has the third-largest range of any primate species, behind only humans and rhesus macaques. 3) 10 obnoxious tourists who would rather document the sites than view them. - In Langkawi, we are currently and actively practicing ecotourism. Generally, ecotourism deals with interaction with biotic components of the natural environments. Ecotourism is defined as “the segment of tourism that involves travelling to relatively natural areas with the specific objective of admiring, studying and enjoying the scenery and its plants and animals, as well as cultural features.” Our guide encourages our guests to take the photos because photos physically preserve your memories. The memories that live in our minds and hearts are powerful and unique, but they tend to fade with time. Documenting a trip digitally allows you to create books, framed artwork, or other mementos by which to remember the trip further down the road. Moreover, photography can be a powerful tool for telling stories and creating awareness and understanding across cultures, communities, and countries 4) The dinner we served was not good. - Traveling includes new experience of culture, people, lifestyle and foods. So, your travel would be meaningless at all if you do not try different foods that are native to the place you are visiting. You should experience new taste and favour of the country you are visiting. Food represents an ethnic group’s rich culture, and it is a central part of its soul that ties generations of people together. Taste can be affected by culture, biology, memory, and so forth. Also, people even define taste differently. In my opinion, taste belongs to a person, thus it is subjective, and "bad taste" is wrong to say. For example, most Malaysians will say that they love durians, but Caucasians generally hate it. Or a Malay brought up with cuisine that has extremely complex flavours, they may think that Japanese food is way too simple and lacking in flavour. Conversely, Japanese may find Malay food too complex for them. It cannot be said that either of these people do not have taste buds. They simply have different taste buds because taste is subjective. We value our customer's opinions and would like to thank you for bringing this to our attention. We really appreciate your feedback. We are always looking for ways to improve guest experience. Thank you.

I have been to safari's before but never in the night time. Just to warn you it is not completely in the night. You meet up with the guide around 6:00 and from there you go on a small boat for around 10-14 people gave or take. You then take this boat down a river with forest on both sides of the boat. You stop off at a bat cave where the bats are getting ready to go get their dinner. As you go down the river the stop and point out snakes hidding in the trees. There are monkeys that swim over to your boat and eat food out of your hand ( but do not try to touch or pet them) They are wild monkey so anything can happen. It was a amazing experience to see them swim over and then on to the boat. There is also a fish farm, a picture-S sunset and a diner on a floating restaurant in the jungle. Did I say that is all included.

I went to the Mangrove Night Safari boat trip last 2 months and I was impressed with the quality of the service by the operator/owner, Mr. Shah. It was such a great trip. I never saw the beauty of the mangrove forest before. The ecosystem was a gift to behold.

The guide, Fatul was such a great host. His depth knowledge of the local ecology and the history of the place was impressive! He did a great job navigating around the Kilim Geoforest Park. Many of the large mangrove trees were near the banks and so were the monkeys and birds.

We learned a great deal more than we had on the other operators & LOVED viewing the swampy river banks by moonlight.

The bbq dinner was fantastic too! Scrumptious food & the service was a top notch.

I would recommend this mangrove night safari tour to visitors & locals alike! Highly recommended!

Our family of 4 took the sunset kayak tour and was so pleasantly surprised by the whole experience, the 2 guides (shah and his colleague) that were with us were extremely helpful and professional and fun-loving. They educated us on the langkawi's efforts towards their GEO park. Kayaked through mangrove, green lagoon and watched the sunset from the Andaman Sea. Ended with simple yet delicious dinner at a fish farm. Highly recommended activity!

We have Shah as our tour guide. He is professional in sharing his knowledge on kayak and explaining on the places we visited and things we explored. He is very patient and professional in taking good pictures for us. He even ensured that we have sufficient water confidence before we proceed further. It is indeed a great experience.

Shah guided us - a group of 3 friends for sunset kayaking. A really nice guy, he is more of a friend than just a service provider out to make money; he is genuinely concerned for your wellbeing and safety.

All in all a wonderful experience.
