Kilim River Cruise Langkawi

Kilim Geo Forest Park (or Kilim Karst Geo Forest Park as its full name) is one of the three Geo Forest parks associated with the Langkawi Geopark. The other two are the Machinchang Cambrian Geo Forest Park and The Dayang Bunting Marble Geo Forest Park. Langkawi Geopark comprises the whole of Langkawi Island, which is one of the districts of Kedah State, Malaysia. Langkawi started as a fishing village until its revelation as a UNESCO Geopark.

Not so long ago, Kilim was a laid-back place where people’s activities are connected mainly to small scale fishing. Today, this park can be regarded as the most successful ecotourism destination in Langkawi where economic activities have vastly improved. The beauty of this geo forest park lies in its diverse natural geological, biological and cultural resources with high heritage value. These elements have been the pillars for the success of its ecotourism.

Among the remarkable features found here are the pristine mangrove and limestone forests, dramatic karstic landscapes and landform and colorful cultures. this geo forest park is also unique because it is the only place in Malaysia where one can find a coexistence of coastal karst and mangrove ecosystems. These unique landscapes provide new experience to tourists who flock this area to observe a wide spectrum of geological heritage diversity, such as various types of rock, beautiful caves, coastal and island karst morphologies, fossils, as well as rich mangrove fauna and flora.
