My boyfriend Gareth and I met Othman last year when we were travelling around Malaysia. He took us on a hiking trip to the top of Mat Chinchang. He is an exceptionally knowledgable and genuinely lovely man. We will never forget our day with him, and would go back to Langkawi to experience more with him. Can’t recommend enough.

I told my hotel's naturalist that I had a particular interest in reptiles, and he set up two excursions with Othman (pronounced Osman). The first was a jungle trek, where we didn't find any snakes, and the second was a mangrove trip, where we did find a mangrove pit viper.
After the first trip we went back to Othman's home to see his collection of rescued snakes and to listen to more of his amazing stories. The man's a legend on Langkawi, and he's in the Guiness Book of Records for being in a room with 150 cobras for 27 days. And his wife has actually been handling snakes longer than him!
We saw and handled: a beautiful paradise tree snake, a mangrove tree snake, a common cobra, a reticulated python and a king cobra. It was an amazing afternoon.
On the mangrove tour Othman released one of his pythons back into the wild.
We had an awesome time and it was an honour to be in the company of such a renowned snake handler and eco guide.

Othman was extremely intelligent on everything Rainforest related! The trip was extremely enjoyable and he went out of his way to ensure that I experienced and learned about everything that Langkawi and SouthWest Asian Rainforests have to offer! And on top of that he showed me his skill at snake charming. It seemed crazy to me at first to handle a cobra at such close range, but he made both the snake and me comfortable by demonstrating such patience and skill at his art. I would Love to do another tour with Othman and Highly recommend it to anyone that is in the Langkawi, Malaysia area!

We (I, my wife and kids 15,14 and 11) had an amazing nature experience in Rainforest with Othman and his son. Sounds of crickets(?) before dark is incredible. We saw colugo gliding, tarantella coming from his nest, monkeys, hornbills, geckos, termites.... We got lot of information of flora and fauna in rainforest. Absolutely great tour and recommended for everyone who wants to see little deeper incredible nature of Langkawi. As a bonus we were asked to visit Othman's family and we had a chance to see how to handle a cobra. Very interesting and unforgettable evening!

Around the New Year 2014, I attended a yoga retreat with Yoga Now. I chose the yoga and adventure package, which is how I met Othman, his wife, his children, and got to experience the real Langkawi.

I spent two full afternoons with Rimbawi Geo Discovery. The first afternoon, Othman and I went on a rainforest trek. It immediately became clear that this would be no ordinary hike. I was in the presence of an international phenom. Othman is knowledgeable about not just plant-life, not just animal-life, not just the geological history of the area, but current events and conservation efforts, and he is deeply interested in connecting a community to preserve and showcase what Langkawi has to offer. We hiked for a little over 3 hours, and the knowledge that Othamn possesses made the hike a true experience. I learned so much. While trekking, we saw great hornbills traversing the canopy. The sound created by their flapping wings made it clear just how large these birds are.

At the end of our hike, we ate some lunch at a local spot, and then I met his wife and children at his home. It was there he showed me his 10 foot King Cobra. He handled it a bit, encouraging it to open its hood. It was completely intimidating, even while cowering near the door. It was obvious Othman knew what he was doing, but still frightening.

Then his children performed some of the traditional martial art dance, Silat – very graceful while exhibit flexibility and strength. We spotted a few more rare creatures in his yard before I was driven back home.

The next day, I spent the afternoon with Othman’s wife. We went on a mangrove boat tour. Before heading to the water, we stopped and bought some local food at a roadside stand. Delicious! The perfect snack during out boat trip, which included: a trek to a limestone cave full of bats, a visit to a kiln, a hike to see indigenous crystal. The day finished with a motorcycle ride back home.

I highly recommend Rimbawi Geo Discovery to anyone interested in seeing the exquisite nature of Langkawi.

Othman's tours are incredible! I did the mangrove boat tour as part of a yoga package with Yoga Now (also a wonderful experience). What makes this tour stand out is how very knowledgable and skilled Othman is. Along with being one of Malaysia's resident snake experts with many awards and accolades to his name, he is also one of the most active conservationist on the island. In speaking to him, you get a sense of the current issues on Langkawi along with an encyclopedic knowledge of the plants and animals on the island. He showed me a pit viper snake upclose! I jokingly said (or half jokingly said) what happens if the snake bites me... Othman pulled out a full first aid kit and showed me exactly what he would do!!! For the mangrove tour he took great care to take me to the northern part of the island, we quickly departed from the other tourists and had the caves and breathtaking scenery all to ourselves. His attention to detail and his dedication comes through immediately. I only regret that I did not do other tours with him. He also took the trouble to send me pictures when my camera had run out of battery power! For nature novices and eco experts alike, GEO tours with Othman are truly unforgettable.

This couple are the most amazing tour guides. It was a nature tour with added cultural experience with meeting their 7 beautiful children, them cooking Malay food for me, and both being very knowledgeable in nature. Loved my time with them. Will remeber for a long time to come. Thanks guys

I had the pleasure of being taken on a boat through the mangrove rivers, out to sea, visiting islands, and then hiking through rain forests to a beautiful majestic waterfall - all the time being shown interesting wildlife (that I would never have spotted - a snake curled up on a branch along side a river, a flying monkey asleep high up in a tree), useful plant information, while being told accurate interesting geological facts. And throughout being entertained with anecdotes of local life by the guides who show a personal and keen interest in conserving nature. The guided tours were fantastic - highly recommended to anyone visiting Langkawi!

On 23 June 2011, together with 2 friends, we joined Othman Ayeb (Rimbawi) for what we now termed as 'Mat Chincang and Mat Raya Trail'. Our aim was to track the places associated with the legendary saga of Mat Chincang and Mat Raya, and understand how these places got their names as a result of the feud between these two great warriors. Starting our trail at Kuah, we moved to Kisap, then Belanga Pecah, onto Ayer Hangat Masin, then to Pasir Hitam, then Gunung Raya, Bukit Sawak and Gunung MatChincang (missed Tanjung Cincin dan Pulau Beras Basah) . At each place, our imagination went into active mode with Othman narrating the particular episode associated with the place name. All these episodes came together at our final destination, that is, Othman's own home. To our great benefit, Othman had already organised a drama team with his own children as actors playing each of the characters in the Mat Chincang and Mat Raya saga. The eldest son played Mat Chincang, the second son was Mat Raya, the third son was Mat Sawak. The daughter who played Sang Gedembai was in school, so a stand-in in the form of a much younger son was asked to dress up as Sang Gedembai. However, at the last moment, he must have stage fright and Othman himself became the Sang Gedembai. The fighting between Mat Raya and Mat Chincang looked 'real' as both the actors were qualified junior silat masters! There were also props with pails to hold them up, portraying the names of the places associated with the fight between the two warriors.

Othman as Sang Gedembai cursed them all to become stones and hence, we have the three giants at their respective stations: Gunung MatChincang, Bukit Sawak and Gunung Raya. Othman ended the drama with the moral of the story

Terima kasih daun keladi to Othman, Rahayu and especially to Adam, Ikram and Amal, our budding actors, for giving us a memorable experience tracking legacy of place names associated with the Mat Chincang and Mat Raya saga.
