Mangrove Tour in Langkawi

The highlight of our visit to Langkawi was a tour of the mangrove forests in the Kilin Geoforest Park which included a number of activities, including watching the eagles, monkeys and other wildlife in the area against a spectacular backdrop of mangroves and stunning rock formations along the way.

Zebra fish in feeding frenzy

If we were in China, this outcrop would have a name

and this one I would call Orangutan at rest...

Our guide almost became the feed at this fish farm

Lots of fish farms in the area - this translates into one thing for me - great seafood!


Perfectly grilled fish for lunch at fish farm

The monkey is happy with bread


The eagles prefer chicken

The mangroves were teeming with life - we saw crabs, lizards and snakes on our trip

We also visited a bat cave with an ancient column of stalactite stalagmite at its exit.




It was a fun-filled day on the mangrove tour - highly recommended!
