The mangrove tour program at Kilim Geopark is well-structured and includes visits to several key points that showcase the uniqueness of this ecosystem. Whether you purchase a budget or extended tour, you will see all the main highlights.

Here is what is definitely included in the program:

Eagles diving for food during feeding
Feeding red eagles – possibly the most spectacular sight of the tour
  1. Eagle feeding. The boat stops at a special spot, and the guide throws pieces of meat into the water. You will see beautiful reddish-brown eagles (Brahminy kites and white-bellied sea eagles) diving from height and grabbing the prey. The sight is very photogenic.
  2. Swimming through mangrove forests. The boat enters narrow, winding channels where the peculiar roots of mangrove trees (pneumatophores) rise above the water. Macaque monkeys often sit here and may show interest in the boats.
  3. Crocodile Cave (Gua Buaya). The boat sails into a large cave, named for a rock resembling a crocodile. There is no disembarkation; viewing lasts just a minute right from the boat.
  4. Fish Farm. This is the only point where you will get off the boat onto a floating platform. Here, large fish, moray eels, and rays are kept in cages. There is also a restaurant, but prices are high.
  5. Bats hanging on the cave ceiling

  6. Bat Cave (Gua Kelawar). You will disembark on shore and, for an additional fee (2 RM), enter a limestone cave where hundreds of bats hang from the ceiling. It is dark inside; you can rent a flashlight for 1 RM.
  7. Rock with the inscription Kilim Geoforest. A mandatory photo stop in front of a picturesque limestone rock with the park's name painted in white.

What may be additionally included in more expensive tours:

  • Stop at Tanjung Rhu Beach for swimming and relaxation.
  • Lunch (either at the fish farm or on the beach).
  • Longer time at each of the points.

Important: Don't worry if you take the cheapest tour – you will visit all the listed main points in any case. The difference is only in additional services.
