Keep your eyes peeled for the occasional dolphin or otter, a delightful surprise in this lush habitat.
A highlight of the journey is the mystical bat cave, where you can observe these nocturnal creatures in their natural environment, adding a touch of eerie excitement to the experience. As you paddle deeper into the heart of the mangroves, the chorus of the wild envelops you, enhancing the sense of connection to this thriving habitat.
Another fascinating stop on your journey is a nearby fish farm, where aquaculture meets wild nature. Here, you can see how local species are raised, get insights into local fishing techniques, and understand the symbiotic relationship between the mangroves and the marine life they support.
Throughout your journey in Kilim Geoforest Park, you are enveloped by the peace of the mangroves and the rhythm of nature—a stark contrast to the bustling outside world.
