Discover Malaysia’s Wildlife: Explore Langkawi’s Mangroves & Exotic Animals 🐒

1️⃣: Kilim Geoforest Park. A friend recommended a local Chinese guide to take us on a mangrove tour, and it was an excellent choice. Having a guide not only made the experience more convenient but also saved us a significant amount of time. At the location shown in the picture, you can even catch Thai mobile signals, as it’s almost at the Malaysia-Thailand border.

2️⃣-3️⃣: The mangroves are home to numerous monkeys, though we only spotted a few at the place shown in the picture. In other areas, they were surprisingly scarce, making those sightings all the more special.

4️⃣❗️‼️: 🦇 Bat Cave. This was undoubtedly the wildest part of our entire trip. The bat cave is extremely low, requiring you to hunch over the entire way. Our guide kindly reminded anyone with back problems that they could opt out. The cave itself is small, and it takes less than 3 minutes to walk through, but the entire rock wall is teeming with bats [Freaking Out].

If you have a fear of tight spaces, be cautious. Most importantly, keep noise to a minimum to avoid disturbing the bats, as they might drop guano. There’s also a faint, musty smell in the air, adding to the adventure.

5️⃣-6️⃣: Watching eagles 🦅 on the lake was a breathtaking experience. You can see Langkawi’s iconic mascot in all its glory, soaring gracefully above the water.

7️⃣-8️⃣: Feeding stingrays was a delightful and free activity. The staff provided us with small fish to feed them, but since these stingrays are fed by visitors every day, they seemed rather unenthusiastic about the food [Crying Laughing]. Despite their lack of appetite, it was still a fun and interactive experience.
