14.Langkawi Mangrove : Sharing Boat 3Hour estimated (lunch)

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 20 reviews · from $14

Join a three-hour shared boat from Tanjung Rhu or Kilim Geoforest Jetty for caves, mangroves, eagle watching, monkeys, limestone cliffs and fish feeding. Choose the 10:00 or 14:00 departure, with optional floating-restaurant lunch. Bring cash for possible cave entry and fish-farm purchases, and check which terminal the operator assigns.

“The operator wasn't that great. There was NO communication from their side. We informed that we would be a little late, but there was 0 correspondence from their side that the ferry had left. So we ended up paying for a private tour (a blessing in disguise). The private ferry helped us cover all the items in the list in half the time as the speedboat was super fast. Overall an enjoyable adventure with lot of sightseeing, but the experience could have been a bit cheaper.”
