See a great temple. Have chilled out monkeys on your shoulders. A superb Thai meal for a small amount of money in a perfect setting as the sun goes down. See hundreds of fireflies along the riverside. Watch the water turn blue as your small net touches the plankton. Tour guide LG was excellent.
Wonderful Temple, Monkeys, River Tour. Helpful driver and guide.

The Sri Shakti Temple was delightful and memorable. Feeding the silver leafed monkeys was a highlight, the animals are very gentle and friendly, we could feed them bananas and green beans, available from a local stall. Plenty of time for it. A lovely experience. Lunch was available from a Thai Restaurant on the riverside. For vegetarians the in Tofu fried mixed vegetables was nice. The river tour on the Selangor river was a relaxing experience, fireflies and blue tears were amazing. We were well looked after, swimvests were handed ahead of getting on the boat. Our friendly guide looked well after us and knew the area well. Glad I went.
Amazing

Really enjoyed it! Thank you very much! Price wise was worth it. As it was a private tour. The tour guide was super friendly and introduced us to the places
Enjoyable and something a bit different.

Really good tour guide who pointed out little local points of interest. Adequate time at temple and fort to have a look, take pictures and interact with monkey's. Had food at the Thai restaurant on the waterfront, cheap even with a couple of beers. Blue algae is very visible but unfortunately the fireflies are hard to capture a good picture off. Just enjoy the sights. Traffic from KL centre is a bit of a chore on week nights.
Expensive for what you get

This was a 6 hour trip but we spent 5 minutes watching the fireflies and 5 minutes with the bioluminescence. We were dropped off over an hour before the experience and told we should pay for another time to fill the time. Fireflies were amazing, but the tour was not worth the price and time
I’m still thinking how...

I’m still thinking how the water lights when you move it with a net! They call it Blue Tears. It’s a unique experience that you don’t get in other places. Afterwards, the seafood dinner was super tasty and cheap. The tour guide Guna was great and very helpful.

Nice, relaxed tour with a very nice guide. Dinner at a sea food restaurant was the crowning achievement.

We had hoped for a lot of fireflies, but only saw a small light flickering in a few places. In addition, the plankton could hardly be called blue. Honestly, it's disappointing. Actually, we liked seeing the monkeys with the orange baby the most. The Tour was very well arranged.
A little disappointed..

Nice without more!. What to do if you have never seen blue microorganisms, otherwise you may be disappointed. The visits are long and the fireflies were not very numerous. Too bad!
This trip was incredible...

This trip was incredible - the temple was beautiful, great views at the fort despite a downpour of rain, the monkeys were a highlight of the trip, then watching eagles, fireflies and the blue tears. It only got better. It really felt like a magical experience. Our driver was brilliant.
