Magical Island
Eagle-Feeding is one of the must-do things in Langkawi. It will be your best magical moment, ever! Where else on earth that you can cast your magic and summon the wild eagles to you?Sounded a little bit creepy isn't it? Don't worry - it got nothing to do with magic of any sort, whether black or white. It's all started with a boat-trip to the Kilim mangrove area at the northeast tip of Langkawi.This special mangrove forest boat tour is a unique 4-5 hours boat trip that takes you along the most beautiful seascapes on the island where you could see plants unique to Langkawi that very few humans have seen, and majestic limestone rock formations and sea stacks rise from the sea .... home to unique flowering plants found no where else in the world.
Trek the mangrove forest reserve via boat and learn about its ecology, medicinal plants, migratory birds and role in nursing juvenile marine life. Langkawi's coastal zones are fringed with extensive mangrove forests sprawling over 3200 ha. Mangrove habitats mammals as long tailed macaque, duskly leaf monkey, squirrels and others. Bird such as eagles and herons, reptiles such as lizards, crocodiles and reticulated python and fishes ranging more than 40 species including crap. 
Explore Cave of Legends (Gua Cerita) - This cave is famous for an important archaeological discovery. Gua Cerita, which is made up of two limestone caves lying above the other and facing the sea, is steeped in fables of mystery and romance. On its walls are ancient inscriptions written in Jawi, which are yet to be deciphered. Found at about 7.7 metres from the cave's entrance, these inscriptions supposedly date from 1754 during the reign of Sultan Mohamed Jiwa II of Kedah.
Feeding the eagles-A spectacular, exciting experience and photo opportunity for all. A boat will cruise to a very beautiful and special spot where you will have a chance to see a flock of eagles swooped in from nowhere. The amazing thing about these magnificent predators is their precision. Circling eagles swoop down with their sharp talons fully extended as they pick the pieces of chicken meat nimbly off the surface. They skim over the water's surface effortlessly before flying off into the trees to feast on their 'catch'. There are various types of eagles here; the Brahminy kites (46cm) arrive from all directions. These raptors are generally chestnut brown in color, and white on the head and breast. The White-bellied Sea Eagle (71cm) is the largest of the species present. The sea eagle's head and under parts are white with grey back and wing-coverts. Its impressive wingspan lifts the eagle high above the crowd and is usually spotted soaring in higher altitudes. These birds are the lords of the skies. Langkawi (Lang = eagle and kawi = reddish brown stones found here) is named after the Red Eagles that have made their home in the crags and crevices of the islands long before any human set foot ashore.
