Review of Kilim Geoforest Park: Kilim Geoforest Park, located in Langkawi, is a UNESCO Global Geopark offering a mesmerizing blend of natural beauty, wildlife, and adventure. The park's highlights include mangrove tours, limestone formations, and iconic spots like Eagle Point, Bat Cave, and Crocodile Cave. Timing: The park is open daily from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and tours typically last between 2 to 4 hours, depending on the package chosen. Jetty Location: Tours depart from the Kilim Jetty, situated about 20 minutes from Kuah Town. The jetty is well-organized, with ample parking and basic facilities for visitors. Prices: Tour costs vary based on the type of package: Private Boat Tours: Start from RM 200 to RM 600 per boat (depending on size and capacity). Shared Tours: Range between RM 60 to RM 120 per person, depending on tour duration and activities. Additional activities like kayaking or personalized guides come at extra charges. Key Highlights: 1. Eagle Point: Witness the majestic sight of eagles soaring and feeding in their natural habitat. The experience of seeing Brahminy kites and white-bellied sea eagles up close is unforgettable. 2. Bat Cave (Gua Kelawar): Explore this intriguing cave filled with bats and fascinating limestone formations. The walkways and lighting make it easy to navigate, while the guides explain the ecological importance of bats. 3. Crocodile Cave (Gua Buaya): A unique limestone cave that can only be accessed during low tide. Contrary to its name, there are no crocodiles, but the cave's formation and its setting along the mangrove river are worth exploring. What I Liked: 1. Natural Beauty: The mangroves, clear waters, and limestone karsts create a serene and picturesque environment. 2. Wildlife: Apart from eagles and bats, you can spot monkeys, mudskippers, and even monitor lizards. 3. Educational Value: The guides provide insightful explanations about the park’s geology, ecosystem, and conservation efforts. What Could Be Improved: 1. Crowds: The popular spots, especially Eagle Point, can get crowded during peak times. 2. Cleanliness: Efforts to manage waste in the park and around the jetty could be better. 3. Accessibility: More information at the jetty regarding tour packages and add-ons would help first-time visitors. Tips for Visitors: Best Time to Visit: Morning or early afternoon tours are ideal to avoid crowds and enjoy cooler weather. Essentials: Bring sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and comfortable shoes for exploring caves. Booking: Reserve your tour in advance to secure the best times, especially during peak seasons. Overall Experience: Kilim Geoforest Park is a captivating destination combining adventure, education, and natural beauty. The inclusion of Eagle Point, Bat Cave, and Crocodile Cave makes it a comprehensive experience for nature enthusiasts and families alike. Rating: 4.7/5

A very worthehile tour for our trip this time. Only RM 100.00 each. We eerr picked up and sent back to the hotel before and after the tour. We had a very good English speaking tour guide with us, he did a very good job by sharing his knowledge to us. He liked to make some jokes too. Our trip included a simple lunch and a few places such as a Bat cave; (you can see the bats inside the cave with a touch light), fish farm; (you can see how the fish shoot the food that hangs on the wood by the water and make the food fall to the water, very interesting.) Crocodile cave; (this is the long journey tour, you can see a very pretty view after the Crocodile cave entrance. Why is it called Crocodile cave? Join the tour and let the tour guide tell you the answer. 🤭🤭. The next point, you will see how monkeys swim and take food from you. Don't worry, not all the monkeys like to swim. We are lucky to have one small monkey willing to swim to us and the captain of the boat took him up and the tour guide fed him with peanuts, the monkey stores all the peanuts in it's mouth and it swam away after that. We then continue to see the Gorilla mountain from the middle of the sea, gosh, you can tell that is a big gorilla sat next to the other small mountain. Eagle feeding time after that and then heading to a beach, you can see some beach photos as per attached. Our trip ended after this beach and returned to the fish farm for lunch. Each stop point may let you stop for 30 minutes to 1 hour time for your to visit and swim.

Kilim Geoforest Park is a beautiful spot to explore, offering an amazing boat ride experience through breathtaking landscapes. We chose the basic RM 350 package, which lasted 2-2.5 hours, and it was totally worth it! The boat ride was well-coordinated and comfortable, with an informative guide. The key highlights of the tour included: ✅ Bat Cave – Home to many bats hanging from the ceiling (a fascinating sight!). ✅ Eagle Watching – Watching these majestic birds up close was an unforgettable experience. ✅ Mangrove Tour – A peaceful ride through the lush mangrove forest. ✅ Andaman Sea – Stunning views of open Sea. ✅ Crocodile Cave – No real crocodiles, just a rock formation shaped like one (so no worries!). The entire trip was peaceful and perfect for nature lovers and photographers! What I Didn't Like: ❌ Having to pay RM 2 separately for Bat Cave entry and RM 1 for a torch felt unnecessary. They should not ask for additional payments, as the cost should be covered within the boat package we purchased. Important Tip: 💡 If you’re a couple or a small group (3-4 people), try to find others to share the boat ride with. The boat can accommodate up to 10 people, so splitting the cost can make it much more budget-friendly. Just make sure to arrange this before inquiring at the registration desk. However, be sure to arrange this before inquiring at the registration desk, as they do not allow on-the-spot group collaborations. 😆

Also known as the Kilim Karst Geoforest Park, this 100 square kilometer area in Langkawi is a nature reserve and a collection of geo-sites full of amazing flora & fauna, and stunning geological formations like mammoth limestone rocks, fossils, caves, lagoons, beaches and seascapes. The whole area is administered and protected by the Peninsular Malaysia Forestry Department. It is part of the larger Langkawi Geopark and one of the biggest hot spots of Eco tourism in the entire region. The approach to the Kilim Geopark is through the Kilim river. You will need to take a tour on a motor boat that starts from the Kilim Jetty or the Tanjung Rhu bay area both located at the north eastern end of Langkawi. A guided boat tour would be ideal to appreciate all the attractions in Kilim Geopark. The Kilim Geopark area comprises of the river basins of Kilim, Kisap and Air Hangat along with several islands including Langgun and Tanjung Dendang. So what do you get to experience? The boat ride will initially take you along the Kilim river with dense green mangroves (also known as wetland mangroves) on one side and gigantic limestone rocks on the other rising from the river bed. Some of these limestone rocks that look like mountains, have been formed some 500 million years back. The mangroves serve to protect the shoreline from the sea and prevent soil erosion by forming a barricade.
