Itinerary
The tour start with the hotel/port pickup by our local driver to the jetty.
Travel by boat through the twists and turns of the Kilim river through the maze created by aerial roots and thick fleshy leaves of the mangrove trees. We often see mangrove animals that make their home in this delicately balanced ecosystem which is responsible for the health and wide variety of species in the Andaman Sea. We also explore how the mangrove area is a perfect environment for cottage industries such as fish farms. Our first stop is The boatman will stop the engine and throw some chicken pieces out into the water to invite the eagles. And in no time you will see eagles diving down just next to you and clawing up the chicken pieces and eating them as they soar into the sky. As we venture out of the mangroves you will see majestic limestone rock formations and sea stacks that rise dramatically from the ocean. This ancient coral thrust into the sky millions of years ago is home to a unique and ancient group of plants found no where else on earth
Then we are going to explore darkened bat caves and seeped in fabled tales of mysteries and romance.
Visit floating modern fish farm and local fish farm is one of the tour.Our boat will drop you at the floating fish farm in a secluded cove surrounded by high vertical limestone and granite cliffs. You will have an ample time to see the stingrays. There are also a number of sea creatures kept in the 'tanks' but we shall not reveal too much- it's well worth the trip. After half day with a new experience, the boat will make your way back to jetty and driver will drop off to your original hotel/port pickup

Doing the Private Mangroves Tour in Langkawi is a must. The boat is to yourself, you have un obstructed view of each point, from the Eagle feeding to the Monkeys (there was so many) it's a very personal experience that is well worth the extra cost. The Fish farm was so unique, the local resident of the farm showed us an array of species and we had the pleasure to even pat the friendly string rays and sharks and then choose our fish which they prepared and so we can. Nothing quire beats having such a delicious fresh meal in the middle of the sea. This was my favourite trip in Langkawi and is a must for anyone to do...
A fabulous experience. We were picked up from the port at the agreed time, driven by the informative and friendly Eddy to the boats. Harry was a great boatman with amazing eyes for spotting wildlife. All in all a great day.
The private tour was worth it. Having the guide for ourselves made a great difference from needing to cope with a group.
Unfortunately I was silly and thought the price I was quoted was local currency, so I thought I was getting a bargain. After booking I realized the price was in Singaporean dollars, and about 4 times the price I thought I was paying. My fault for not checking, but felt misleading for website to show prices in a different currency. The company were not able to refund me as I booked 21 hours before the trip and they don't allow refunds within 24 hours of the trip - even though I tried to cancel immediately after booking. We just had to go with it even though I could have booked for half the price through the hotel. This was a bad start to the trip, but.... on the plus side the landscape was beautiful and the boat was fun. Overall we enjoyed it, but a few things were not as described and ultimately we felt ripped off. We were sold a premium lunch. What we got was a plastic bag with a tiny piece of fish and rice and a bag full of soup or sauce. There was no food or drinks provided for our 3 year old even though we had paid for him. We were rushed through the trip and told we could eat the lunch at the end on the beach. The beach was beautiful so this would have been nice, but when we were dropped at the beach we had no plates or spoons to eat the food. I guess we were supposed to drink the soup from the bag. Not what I expected after spending $400usd for just 2 adults and a young child. For half the price I would have been fine with this. We also had to pack up the lunch (we actually threw it away) because we were told the trip had ended and our driver had another job so could not wait for us to even eat the food. The trip states 3.5 hours but according to the driver the trip was only 2 hours. Also, just a small thing, but the itinerary said they feed the eagles so you can see them up close. This did not happen, apparently there are restrictions on this now. Which I understand, but the trip description should be updated. Ultimately, this felt like a basic experience at a premium price point. I recommend you book directly through your hotel or even ask a local driver to organise this trip for you to ensure you get your money's worth.... And skip the lunch option.
The whole experience was very smooth. My Driver Bakhtiar picked me from my hotel on time. My boat guide Hanif was very friendly and knowledgeable, kept me engaged the whole time. He also took amazing pictures of me. The whole experience 10/10 would recommend.
Had a really good time seeing the wonderful rainforest islands of Langkawi, definitely a worthy experience to get on a boat and see the nature, included a good guide and a lunch too.
