Centre<\/a>. After a brief introduction to the park and the Resort\u2019s efforts to aid conservation, we board our boat, a motorised Malay pinas, straight off the beach. Bouncing along the shoreline, we get a close-up view of one of the sea stacks, which looms over us as we glide by. It\u2019s a curious sight: sheer walls, thick with foliage, sprouting from the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Up ahead the mangroves come into view, and we slow to a crawl to prevent our wake from damaging the delicate shorelines. Still on open water, we edge up to the fringes of the forest, and on the muddy waterfront Farouk points out fiddler crabs, mudskippers and, in the water, needlefish.

Farouk is a delightful, animated guide, filling us in on animal behaviour and anecdotes from his excursions. Many of the monkeys, he says, recognise him and adapt their behaviour accordingly, sometimes challenging him for alpha male status.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_9\" class=\"body-block body-block-single-image small-body-media\">\n<div class=\"fs-image\">\n<div class=\"fs-image-container\">\n                <picture class=\"article-title-image\">\n        <!--[if IE 9]><video style=\"display: none;\"><![endif]--><source srcset=\"https:\/\/djdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/four-seasons-langkawi-mangrove-safari-macaque-636x431.jpg\" media=\"(min-width: 992px)\"><!--[if IE 9]><\/video><![endif]--><br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\"   src=\"https:\/\/djdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/03\/four-seasons-langkawi-mangrove-safari-macaque-636x431.jpg\" class=\"attachment-mobile_large size-mobile_large\" alt=\"Macaque in Langkawi\" \/>    <\/picture>\n<div class=\"caption\">\n<div class=\"caption-wrapper\">\n<p class=\"image-block-caption image-caption\">Curious macaques are among the many species of local wildlife you\u2019ll spot during the safari.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"asset-share element-share\">\n            <button class=\"btn btn-share collapsed\" type=\"button\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" data-target=\"#image_share_97458\" aria-expanded=\"false\" aria-controls=\"image_share_97458\"><br \/>\n                <span class=\"icon-share icon-share-arrow\"> <span class=\"share-text\">Share<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n            <\/button><\/p>\n<ul id=\"image_share_97458\" class=\"collapse share-options\" >\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dialog\/feed?app_id=998607926923032&#038;display=popup&#038;redirect_uri=http%3A%2F%2Fmagazine.fourseasons.com%2Fclose.html&#038;link=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-facebook\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/intent\/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-twitter\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.fourseasons.com%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-admin%2Fpost.php&#038;media=https%3A%2F%2Fdjdo2py1q6zlg.cloudfront.net%2Fmagazine%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2015%2F03%2Ffour-seasons-langkawi-mangrove-safari-macaque-636x431.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><i class=\"icon-share icon-pinterest\"><\/i><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_10\" class=\"body-block text-block body-block-article-content-block\">\n<div class=\"entry\">\n<p>Now fully surrounded by mangroves, our boat rounds a bend and enters a broad stretch of brackish water over which white-bellied sea eagles and Brahminy Kites, whose name in Malay gives Langkawi its name, swoop and dive to catch titbits from a feeder boat.<\/p>\n<p>Farouk takes us farther up the river, where it narrows to such an extent that mangroves brush the sides of the boat. We\u2019re in the thick of action here, the sun only dappling the water as we glide through. Someone spots a snake on a branch, but we\u2019re assured it\u2019s at a safe distance; later on a lizard, 2 feet long from nose to tail, breaks from the bank and swims out in front of our bow. We\u2019re thoroughly immersed in this fascinating tropical environment.<\/p>\n<p>Farouk has one more treat up his sleeve for us before we make our way home: We pass through a ravine and into a tunnel-like cave. Not until he switches his torch on and points it upwards do we see that the ceiling is crowded with sleeping bats.<\/p>\n<p>As we skip over the sea back to the Resort, I reflect on the creatures we\u2019ve seen in this unique environment and those that have eluded us, including the Flying Five\u2014that\u2019s the chance you take when you look for animals in their natural habitat. I\u2019m sure of one thing: I\u2019ll have to return.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"body_block_11\" class=\"body-block large-body-media body-block-cta-large-body text-class\">\n<div
