We really enjoyed this tour with Zai starting with the city mosque, bought some chocolate at the factory. The highlight was the fireflies which was the last activity after seeing the Proboscis Monkeys and the sunset on the beach. The river guide was expert at locating animals and when. We saw quite a few monkeys. The food provided was very good. This tour was value for money and lasted more than 8 hours from pick up to drop off.
