This is an absolute must on your Lankawi adventure. This is a big park, protected by government, and a lot of fun and adventure to visit. You can see the eagles while they are grabbing some chicken from the water, a short, but exciting bat cave. Lots of bats inside, and do not worry they do not hurt you. The crocodile cave is only accessible when the tide is low, but also exciting. I was amazed how well they control the boats. Oh yea, you visit everything with motorboats. Mostly private. Make sure you book in advance online for a good price. The tour includes a stop at a fish farm/restaurant. I highly recommend you eat there. They also provide transportation to the jetty. The tour takes you out to the sea and you visit the mangroves as well. See birds, monkeys and so on. The wild life and nature is strong here. Do not forget, you are a guest here and the nature is your host. No trash allowed. I almost forgot, you can see here “archer” fish. They spit water on insects and jump out from the water to catch their prey. You can experience this with your boat captain. Just ask for it. This is a one of a lifetime experience place. Do not miss it.
