Such a fantastic trip, much better than initially expected. Fawzan our guide was great. He was entertaining, funny and very knowledgeable about the mangroves. Compared to the boat trip, you get to really get up close with the nature. The kayaking was fun and Fawzan explained everything thoroughly. Would recommend this trip to any one visiting Langkawi.

Great half day tour

Nichole_P, Apr 2024

The mangrove tour was really fun. We saw lots of animals and luckily we were in a small group because some of the kayaking got challenging. The tour is closer to 5 hours long so be aware of that when booking

Fawzan was incredible and so was this tour.

Lili_G, Mar 2024

Kayak experience was fantastic, tour guide was not

Nurul_M, Mar 2024

The kayaking was fantastic experience. However 2-star because I don't enjoy the tour guide asking so many personal questions up until religion talk (over the line and nosy). Thanks.

Good experience

Chavi_N, Mar 2024

Guide was friendly and took care of us very well, had engaging stories to tell and guided us throughout the tour! Food provided was nice as well :) Definitely recommend

Beautiful scenery!

Cecilia_L, Feb 2024

Sham was a great tour guide! Instructions were clear. The lake and mangroves are beautiful with the mountain back drops. Seeing the many eagles diving from the sky was a treat! Food was good and plentiful.

Great tour

Lama_S, Jan 2024

The fact that the tour is by kayak and not by boat makes a bit difference. We were able to go into the little channels and really enjoy the mangroves. Our tour guide was also amazing, huan was fantastic. Knowledgeable, funny and made the tour really enjoyable

Do it!!

Carissa_L, Jan 2024

So fun and we had a really great tour guide, Sham! We had a surprise accident but he handled it well, and still made the experience fun and memorable. The tour came with lunch, some local tour at the fish farm and also the bat cave nearby. Definitely recommend! Don’t forget to wear a hat and wear lots of sunscreen!

An amazing nature experience with learn effect

Miroslav_P, Dec 2023

It was an amazing experience. Me and my wife booked the tour on our first day on Langkawi. We were picked up from our hotel and brought to the meeting point at the mangroves. Special thanks to our guide. His humorous and informative explanations helped us learn much about Langkawi and the nature there. We kajacked throuh narrow mangrove water paths wich was total fun. A very satisfying experience, which we would repeat and recomment to anyone staying on Langkawi.

Excellent

Jo_B, Dec 2023

Absolutely loved it. Everyone and everything was punctual, kayaking was explained well, the weather was great, and, above all, Fauzen was friendly, informative and helpful.

Mangrove Tour

Maximilian_W, Aug 2023

great guide 👍🏻starting with a boat trip to a local jetty, followed by a kayak tour through the mangrove forest with an experienced guide - great day.

Worth it, amazing tour guide

Zoe_J, Aug 2023

This was a fantastic tour through the bat caves and kayaking through the mangroves where we saw eagles and vipers. Fawzan is one of the best tour guides we have ever had, so knowledgeable and full of stories. I would recommend this tour to anyone. My only regret is that we didn't give Fawzan a generous til due to a miscommunication between my partner and I but I hope people do as he really goes above and beyond! We also enjoyed the hotel transfer at the start and end.

Great experience with excellent guides

Ambia_B, Jul 2023

The tour guides Sharm and Frozen were very informative, lively and friendly. Because the river was going to be low during the day, which would have made it hard to kayak, Sharm decided to take us kayaking earlier to allow to see every route through the mangroves. Both guides took the time to learn our names and they looked out for our wellbeing throughout the day. Although my sister and I were basically beginners with the kayaks, it was not too difficult to get a hang off, if a little tiring. The guidance we received helped alot. It rained very heavily on the day but our tour was not cancelled, we continued kayaking in the forest with the rain all around us and it was amazing. The food provided for lunch was also very nice.

Mangrove kayaking

AlexanderEric_H, Jun 2023

A great day out kayaking in the mangroves. Hotel pick up and drop off was provided, with good communication. Start the tour with s trip out to a fish farm and from there you get your kayak and start the mangrove tour. The kayaking is straight forward, requires s bit of effort in the Ed channels to get into the mangroves, but once inside is more about control than effort to navigate through the pathways. We saw snakes and eagles on our tour as bd our guide was great at explaining everything and looking after everyone. The tour finishes with lunch at s restaurant at the fish farm and as final stop at s cave where we encountered monkeys and bats. A great way to spend a day in nature.

One of the best excursions on the island!

Steve_C, Apr 2023

Azi was great from pick up at the hotel to his passion and explanation of the Mangrove and all the conservation efforts that are in place. The tour was amazing, fun and so interesting. This was our last full day in Langkawi, and it couldn't have ended any better, I would highly recommend this tour and booking with Azi as you guide if you can.

A must-do for the island.

Dan_S, Jan 2023

Best activity in Lngkawi

Fahad_A, Sep 2022

One of the highlights of our trip to Malasyia/Lngkawi.. Kayaking to the Mangrooves and touring the area is much more fun than a boat trip.. Fawzan was an excellent tour guide.. He kmew the area amd history and was knowledgable in the flora and fauna of mangrooves and bat cabes... A must se..

Amazing tour !!

Paul_E, May 2022

Amazing tour ! Faux an was an Amazing guide ! The tour was not to long and not to short. We’ve seen a lot of different animals in the wild. We booked the Hotel pic up/Lunch option. The food at the floating restaurant was really good. Overall it was worth every penny! Would do it again and definitely recommend to others. 5/5

Response from Host, May 2022

HI there. we're happy to read this review of yours and glad that u enjoyed your trip with us. And yes our kayaking trip is around 4-5hours, which is doable for most people. and regarding the number of wildlife that you spotted, youre actually quite lucky to be able to see that many wildlife....we believed that rainy season is one of the factor. anyway we hoped that we'll see each other again. adios!

Kayaking vs Boat

OlaOla, Sep 2020

We had a great time during this guided tour. We took the full package where it includes hotel pick-ups and drop-off, lunch and of course a guided tour through the mangrove forest, eagles watching and not forgetting a tour to the bat cave. Our tour guide is super friendly and knowledgeable. He explained in detailed of all the animals or insects that we saw and helped us to take nice pictures. This package is worth the price as you do not need to worry about anything as all is well taken care. Kayaking through the mangrove is a once in a lifetime experience as it required a lot of patience, strength, technique and flexibility. >.< But if you love the challenge, you can take it up as a sport and be expert in it but for us, it is just for fun. Using kayak instead of a boat, you tend to have a closer look of the nature especially in the mangrove forest and very near the limestone structure. Overall, it was an excellent experience for us.

Response from Host, Sep 2020

Hi guys. We glad that u find the trip entertaining even though we had to admit, it is a bit challenging for some. But again its true that this is the best trip for those who wish to challenge themself. Anyway for your generous and detail review. We appreciate it very much

Wonderful

YooJin_A, Aug 2018

Such a chilled way to experience the local nature, see the mangroves up close, and the Langkawi eagles along the river. We were lucky enough to see a dolphin too. Tour group was fairly small and intimate so it was nicer than being in a large group. Bat cave was interesting. The lunch - was just ok. It was a wonderful way to experience Langkawi.
