Langkawi Mangroves
Set
in a craggy, almost magical setting of limestone outcroppings rising
sharply out of the calm Andaman Sea, the mangrove forest here is really
an intricate network of streams and hidden coves that are home to
hundreds of endemic jungle species of wildlife. Among the most
exciting of these are the Brahminy Kites and huge Sea Eagles who nest
in the crags overhead. One of the best ways to discover this usually
inaccessible mangrove world is to join the regular small boat tours
available. The highlight of any tour to the mangroves is the feeding of
the eagles. Your boatman will throw food into the water near your boat
and wait for these huge birds to circle overhead and swoop in for their
'lunch'. Mangrove tours can include jungle trekking, cave
exploration, village visits, high tide swims and guided exploration of
mangrove flora and fauna. Decide on what itinerary best suits you
before you book. Explore kilometres of tidal forests, rugged limestone cliffs, secluded caves and unique flora. Pure Nature!
