The Mangrove safari of Langkawi is an excellent tour to experience the mangrove ecosystem through a rejuvenating safari in the Langkawi islands. The mangroves in Langkawi island are exceptionally well known for rich flora and fauna that includes gorillas, crocodiles, eagles, bats, monitor lizards, mud crabs, monkeys, and much more. The Langkawi mangrove safari tour includes almost all highlights of the island like Tanjung Rhu Mangrove river, Bat Cave, Crocodile cave, Gorilla mountain, fish breeding farm, eagle watch, kingfishers, etc. The safari is an excellent way of experiencing exotic animal behavior in their natural habitat within the mangroves.
The boat safari usually starts from the eastern side of Langkawi Island where travelers begin by seeing limestone caves, hidden canyons, and exotic wildlife. Visitors here can opt for either a private boat or join a shared boat from Tanjung Rhu Mangrove River. However, a guided tour is more convenient and worthy if you are interested in learning more about the mangrove ecosystem and it is also a safer option if you encounter any wildlife. The tour guides are very well familiar with the area and can provide sufficient information about the mangroves and wildlife which one may miss on a private, non-guided tour.
The Kilim River will allow you to sail through the bat cave, which is no doubt a memorable experience. You can also spare yourself a few hours to relax and swim at the Pulau Dangli beach around the beautiful island of Langkawi. Other remarkable sights the safari offers are fish breeding farm, Crocodile cave, and the floating fish farm restaurant.
