Kilim Mangrove Kayak

Overview

A gentle, guided paddle through one of Langkawi's oldest mangrove forests. No kayaking experience is needed — we start with a 15-minute paddling lesson on calm water.

Expect monitor lizards, mudskippers, macaques and, with luck, a kingfisher. We stop at a bat cave and a floating fish farm before paddling back with the tide.
