What to expect

Kilim mangrove kayaking tour

This experience focuses on the Kilim mangrove kayaking tour, combining a guided paddle through mangrove forests with short boat segments and a stop at a fish farm for lunch.

Features

• The core of your Kilim mangrove kayaking tour is a guided paddle through the mangrove forests, where you can spot local wildlife and see how the roots and waterways shape this ecosystem.
• A professional, expert guide leads the route, shares information about the mangrove environment, and accompanies the group throughout this 5-hour kayaking experience on a shared-basis tour.
• To keep your belongings dry, you are given a 5-litre dry bag on loan, along with a paddle and a lifejacket for ages 3 and above, so you have the essential gear for the water.

Bat Cave

The tour includes a stop at the Bat Cave, a key part of the Kilim mangrove area, where you learn how the cave connects to the surrounding mangrove ecosystem.

Features

• Inside the Bat Cave, you observe the bat habitat and hear your guide explain how the cave and mangroves support each other as part of the local environment.
• Your Bat Cave entrance fee is included in the tour, so you simply follow your guide into the site without arranging separate payment.

Mangrove river and eagle watching boat ride

At sections of the route, you travel by boat along the mangrove river, combining water-level views from the kayak with a different perspective from the vessel.

Features

• During the boat ride through the mangrove river, you can watch for the changing riverbanks and channels that define this landscape.
• The boat takes you to a designated eagle spot, where you witness eagles in the area and observe their movements above the river.
• This boat ride with eagle watching is included as part of the tour, so you do not need to book a separate cruise for this segment.

Fish farm and lunch

A visit to a fish farm is built into the itinerary, giving you time off the kayak and boat for a seated meal before returning to the jetty.

Features

• At the fish farm, you see how fish are kept and raised in structures on the water, then sit down to enjoy your included lunch before heading back.
• Your lunch set is provided here and features fried rice, soup, and shared sides. From the inputs, this includes chicken or vegetable fried rice, tom yum or vegetable soup, a shared fruit platter, shared iced lemonade, and shared fried vegetable spring rolls.
• The boat ride to the fish farm is part of the included boat ride with fish farm visit, and your 500 ml drinking water bottle is available alongside the meal, so basic refreshments are covered.
• Any seafood, extra drinks, or snacks you order at the fish farm or along the trip are at your own expense, and the 1 MYR toilet fee at Kilim jetty is not included.
