Langkawi - Pantai Cenang

4th day: 11 Nov 2012

Before heading home, we dropped by at Pantai Cenang. Though it is nearby and we went there couple of time, we don't really take the chance to be on the beach. It was a clear morning and it was a good time to be on the beach.

After awhile on the beach, we headed back to the hotel for a swim before going home.

It's free entrance and kids can have a lot of fun too. Fish feeding, rabbit feeding, ride elephant (this is expensive, but i guess it'll take you for a big round, playground and snake photo session).

It was very hot. 
They love it very much. Carrot RM1/pack. 
Fish feeding. Illegal place :)

After the mangrove tour, we dropped by Kuah Town for lunch before heading to this Dataran Lang which is located besides Kuah Jetty. It was hot, under the hot sun we walked towards the big eagle for some photo shooting.

Langkawi - Mangrove Trip

2nd day: 9 Nov 2012.

As we planned, we will be visiting 1 place on 1 day. After all, it was raining for almost every evening and as not to be too tired for the 2 little boys, we spend the noon time in bed :)

We asked around on this mangrove trip price. It ranges from RM180 to RM250 for the 2hrs boat ride.

As in official price, RM250 is for 1hrs (4 places) and RM350 is for 2hrs (6 places). If you negotiate with the boatman, they will give you RM250 for 2hrs boat ride. I saw this contact in one of the blog and make a call to him. He offered us RM180 for 2hrs boat ride, covering 4 major places. We didn't go to Anak Tikus Island and Langsir Cave which located slightly far away.

Contact: Mr Halimi (017 5228325)

The boat at the terminal
We saw these big life lobsters caught by one of the fisherman. Total 9 of them, weight 7.7kg. He was selling this to the restaurant owner which said can be sell ard RM100-200++/kg.
We weren't on life jacket when we took the boat. Koko kept on asking "Where is the life jacket?
 Why we don't wear them?" He felt very unsafe without it after watching the video clip during Kuala Perlis ferry ride, so we put it on them. Then, he kept on nagging on Hubby and I. Why you didn't put on the life jacket.
1st place: Eagle feeding or should be say as Eagle watching. The boatman told us that government has banned them from feeding the eagles as last month, there were like hundreds of them die due to high colestrol. So, now, it's only eagle watching. One thing great is you can hear the eagle sound - baby crying sound.
2nd place: Kilim Geoforest Park logo. The boatman knows where to get a good photo.
Can you spot the turtle?
Andaman Sea sightseeing. Pulau Kasut. (Shoe Island)
3rd place: Fish farm.
 The famous restaurant Hole in the Wall is beside the fish farm. The boatman said it's expensive to eat there. You may wana try the other new open restaurant:
Amin Floating Restaurant.
Ikan sumpit. The fish will shoot water up, exactly to the food area. They are proned to white color. Koko was so excited as he can placed his finger nail on the edge and feel the water shooting up by the fish.
Stringray feeding. It was really a great experience for me. The two little boys was so afraid looking at me feeding the stringray.
The tour guide at the fish farm. We were lucky, only 4 of us in a boat and we can really have a feel and touch. Check out behind the tour guide, when you came in a group, you may miss some of this real opportunity.
Entering the crocodile cave, getting to the next side of the mangrove tress area.
4th place: Bat cave. Smelly... Again, Koko was trying to read the sign board.
Curious Didi. Was looking up most of the time to check out the bat.
2hrs has gone finally...

I think this is an interesting place to bring the kids. Though, fees are slightly high, I feel it's worth it especially when they can see so many different type of animals. We took around 3 hrs exploring the whole places.
