No separate park entrance fee, but boat tours are mandatory; shared group boats typically cost RM60–RM120 per person while private boats run RM250–RM600, so join a shared tour or compare operators at Kilim Jetty to save money.

About
Greiti faktai: A slow boat through tangled mangrove channels puts you inches from knobbly prop roots and frequent wildlife, from mudskippers and monitor lizards to darting kingfishers. Rugged limestone karsts punctuate the waterways with cave mouths and visible coral fossils, while local guides steer past floating fish cages where families sell live grouper and snapper.
Svarbiausi dalykai: Fishermen toss strips of fish and as many as 40 Brahminy kites (Haliastur indus) wheel and dive in a noisy, feathered spectacle right over the water. Narrow boardwalks thread between knee-high prop roots and sheer limestone faces that reach 20 to 30 meters, the air heavy with brine and the rustle of mangrove leaves underfoot.
Insider tips
- Wear lightweight long sleeves, a wide-brim hat and biodegradable insect repellent to handle sun and mosquitoes.
- Bring a telephoto or zoom lens and shoot from the bow for clean reflections and close-up eagle or macaque photos.
- Book the earliest tour to avoid heat and cruise-ship crowds, and check tide times if you want narrow-channel views.
- Skip pricey floating-restaurant lunches unless you want fresh seafood, bring water and snacks to cut costs.
