Good trip, beautiful Hindu Temple; fireflies were a little but underwhelming. Guide/driver was very nice and knowledgeable
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the trip and the beauty of the Hindu temple, and that our guide, LG, helped make the experience enjoyable with his knowledge and friendly service. We understand that the fireflies may not have fully met your expectations, as their visibility can vary depending on weather and natural conditions. We appreciate your honest comments and hope to welcome you on another tour in the future for an even more memorable experience.
First rate tour. Our guide, LG, was on time, friendly and very informative. The minibus was clean and comfortable. The fireflies are quite a distance from Kuala Lumpur, but this tour is broken up nicely with a stop at the Hindu temple and then to see the monkeys. Dinner before the boat and fireflies was good value and plentiful. Thank you LG for a memorable tour.

The trip as such was perfectly organized. The driver was very good and responded to all the wishes of the passengers in a friendly manner. Unfortunately, the event on site was rather disappointing overall. We drove about 4 - 5 minutes past the shore with the fireflies. Then the boat turns and the other side of the boat could see something. The blue glow in the water actually did not exist. Nets were issued that could produce a very faint and extremely short-lived blue glitter when moved vigorously. Photographically, the whole thing could not be captured. The photos, in which entire water areas are colored blue, advertised an event that did not even begin to take place. Finally, 4 - 5 minutes of fireflies remain stagnant, which is simply no longer a relation for 2 hours 30 minutes of driving time.
Everything was perfect from start to finish. The whole trip was very well organized, smooth and enjoyable. The itinerary was great, timing was well managed, and the experience fully met expectations. A special thank you to our driver, LG, who was outstanding — professional, punctual, friendly and very helpful throughout the day. He made the trip even better and deserves 10/10. Highly recommended.
LG was an excellent guide throughout! Good and interesting stops along the way to the Salengor River, and Fireflies were brilliant!
Absolutely gorgeous the whole experience was stunning the temple the monkeys the driver all of it highly recommend it
The guide was always kind and he gave me all the information that I wanted to have, before and during the tour!
Had an amazing tour yesterday with L G We visited a Hindu temple, we saw and fed the monkeys and the long established British lighthouse that’s still in operation Onto a fishing village to wait for dusk and taken by speedboat to see the firefly’s. Fabulous trip LG was helpful and an informative tour guide. C Mills
Pick up at my hotel was punctual and good communications beforehand. Our tour guide LG was very polite and informative. The stopping points before the Firefly boat trip were interesting and reasonably quiet despite it being a public holiday. We enjoyed the Firefly Boat Trip despite there being less Fireflies than expected.
good experience. Simon, our driver was great and gave us bits of information through the day. He contacted the gentleman who sold monkey food to meet us around the corner so that it was less crowded when feeding the monkeys. The fireflies were interesting to see also. like a naturally lit Christmas tree.
