Why to visit Riverboat Cruise at Kilim Karst Geoforest Park

The only area where coastal karsts and mangrove ecosystems coexist, the Kilim Karst Geoforest is known for its diverse species, including long-tailed macaques, tree crabs, monitor lizards, and otters. Birdwatchers will like the Geopark as well. Gua Kelwar, a prominent and well-maintained bat cave in Kilim Karst, is located there. 

The Kilim Geoforest Park, near Tanjung Rhu Beach, is a magnificent environment centred on three interconnected estuaries. The beaches, caves, limestone structures, and mangrove swamps of this 100-square-kilometer nature reserve are noted for their unusual beauty. You may also learn more about the medicinal plants and ecological diversity of this area with the help of a skilled guide. It is one of Malaysia's more unusual tourist destinations.

The best way to see this forest park, which is located on the lovely Langkawi Islands, is to take a boat tour. Private and group boat tours are both available. You can also rent private boats, jet skis, and kayaks.

Special Tip

Kilim Geoforest is open all year, but the ideal time to visit is during the migratory season, which runs from September to March. A riverboat tour along the Kilim River costs between RM200 and RM500.
