Detailed itinerary

Located within the Kilim Geoforest Park, Gua Kelawar, or Bat Cave, is one of Langkawi’s most fascinating natural attractions. This mysterious cave is home to hundreds of fruit bats that hang quietly from the ceiling, creating an unforgettable experience for visitors who step inside.

A short wooden walkway through the mangrove forest leads you into the cool, dimly lit cave where you can observe these gentle creatures up close — all while learning about their important role in maintaining the island’s ecosystem. The cave also features unique limestone formations that have taken shape over millions of years, adding to its natural beauty and intrigue.

Guided by local experts, visitors can safely explore the cave and enjoy the peaceful ambiance of the surrounding mangrove forest. Gua Kelawar is a must-visit stop on the Langkawi Mangrove Boat Tour, offering a perfect mix of nature, discovery, and adventure that showcases the wild side of Langkawi.
