Langkawi UNESCO Global Geopark -seikkailuristeily

Thankful to make it for the cruise! Sorry to delay our tour group as we were lost travelling to meeting point though driver was familiar with Langkawi. Business Contact Person took some time to provide location map & send tour guide's contact number. Our boat took 2 couples and our family of 3, guided by Mr Zaid who gave very clear explanation at every point. Half of the world's mangrove species are found on Langkawi, which was declared by UNESCO as a global geopark endorsed for its natural beauty, ecological harmony and archaeological, geological and cultural significance. We cruised through different mangrove forests, meeting macaque monkeys, mudskippers and crabs along the way. The natural landscape of limestone and sedimentary rocks amidst the geoforests was spectacular to behold. We drifted through the bat cave and entered into the sea to watch the Brahminy Kites and white-bellied sea eagles feeding on their catch. The 2-hour cruise ended about 1pm. A breathtaking educational tour for the young and old! Thumbs up! Kudos to the locals for preserving the heritage. Thank God for the good weather. Rainstorm came at 2pm 😅

It was a great experience. The tour guide very professional explained the wildlife, Mangrove, eagles species to us. And we were very lucky that we managed to see a school of dolphins swimming and jumping beside our cruise.

Junglewalla eco-tourism operator Langkawi Unesco Geopark tour This operator and the tour guide Shafwan and Izzatul deserved a big shout-out. We...maybe I learned a lot from this tour. 1. The whole area - batu kapur, paya bakau...all under UNESCO heritage. So they were well preserved. The trees resemble autumn trees overseas. Why? Kena join tour baru tau ☺️ 2. Paya bakau di seantero dunia ada 100+ species. Malaysia has at least half of them and this area has most of the species in Malaysia. Yg paling banyak ialah Rhizophora. The paya bakau area served as kindergarten? Paya bakau and tsunami? All questions answered in the tour. 3. We should stop feeding the eagles!!! Why? We will know tru the tour. Sadly, though the areas were protected under the UNESCO banner, the animals are not included as part of the heritage. 4. There are remnants of charcoal-making facilities can be seen. Kalau nak bawa anak² bagus sangat. So many info.

I highly recommend this tour :) we learned many things about the mangrove forest, Langkawi's nature and the importance of the Rhu trees. Our guide Masyitah was very friendly and knowledgeable! Overall a very nice experience that I would not mind repeating:)

I think is a super worth tour. We had a knowledgeable guide, who speaks great English and I’ve learnt alot! I think is a perfect tour for family with kids, going into the nature and learning how to protect the nature.

We booked a private tour for our family of 8 ppl. We had such a wonderful time on the boat and learning about the mangrove, islands, limestone caves and the ecosystem. We were also pleasantly happy that the company is eco friendly and does not engage in any cluster feeding to the eagles and monkeys to attract them. Our guide, Wonda was nice and had lots of information to share about Langkawi eco system and park. My entire family, including my 5 year old son left the tour feeling exhilarated and more informed. Thank you for being a great tour guide and operator.

information of where to meet up was sent a day before the tour via whatsapp. location was easy to find as the picture was attached to the message. we had a really great guide named Wanda who was passionate and knowledgeable when asking questions not directly related to the mangroves as well.

**Mixed Review of Geopark Adventure Langkawi** Our trip with Geopark Adventure Langkawi was a blend of highs and lows. On the positive side, the guide was fantastic. They provided a wealth of information about the mangroves, eagles, and other aspects of Langkawi's natural environment, significantly enhancing our understanding and appreciation of the area. The emphasis on ecological awareness was commendable and added great value to the experience. However, there were some downsides to the tour. We were disappointed that we didn't get to explore the bat cave, which was one of the highlights we were looking forward to. The entire two-hour journey involved sitting on the speedboat, which limited our interaction with the natural surroundings. While the scenery from the boat was beautiful, a bit more variety in the activities would have made the experience more engaging. Overall, Geopark Adventure Langkawi offered an informative tour with a knowledgeable guide, but it would benefit from including more opportunities for exploration and adventure beyond just the speedboat ride.

Stunning Geopark tour! Expert guide, learned lots about mangroves. fantastic experience

The whole experience was amazing, the guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. Both the driver and the guide are always on the lookout to spot wildlife and take us to places to spot wildlife. There is even free water given on board.
