Langkawi, Malaysia

Langkawi, Malaysia - 11th November 2009

Met up with Ross and Miles then got pickup up in the morning by taxi as we had a booked a mangrove cruise tour with an eco friendly company who use solar panelled boats called Junglewalla.


Mangrove Tour

On the tour we were taught all about the importance of the mangroves and shown lots of wildlife, we even saw a brown backed needle tail swift (the fastest bird in flight in the world).



Mangrove Fruit

We saw hundreds of fiddler crabs, they wrestle with their claws and the weakest gets broken off and then can decide which one to re-grow the biggest and the process starts over again.
