Spend three hours on a shared boat through Kilim Geopark, watching eagles and monkeys, passing Crocodile Cave and Bat Cave, and viewing Gorilla Mountain from the water. The driver speaks English or Malay, and Muhammad has been praised for his humor and local knowledge. Food, drinks, and the RM2 Bat Cave fee cost extra.
“Overall, this was a positive experience and good value for money. It’s a nice excursion to do in Langkawi, as long as you don’t expect a premium or very guided tour. Our skipper explained that he was not a professional guide but someone familiar with the area. His English was basic and he didn’t give a lot of information spontaneously, but he was friendly and answered questions when asked. The highlights were definitely nature, the mangroves, the monkeys and the eagles. The bat cave is something we personally could have skipped. It was quite busy, with many boats on the water at the same time. We booked on the day…”
