5.00Great experience! We went to see monkeys, had dinner by the river to see sunset, and a boat ride to see fireflies and bioluminescent water. Chandran was a great guide, and Ravi was a great boat caption.
Highly recomended

Solo Traveller on fireflies and blue tears tour during March

5.00Tour was not crowded and conducted in a small group which meant that we could get a more personalised experience. Our tour guide Sasi was fantastic and displayed extensive knowledge about all the attractions including those in other locations in Malaysia.He also went out of his way to catch some of the fireflies so that we could see them up close.
Memorable Experience

5.00This day tour was an amazing experience from start to finish. A huge thank you to Melvin, our tour guide, for his time, passion and kindness. The opportunity to visit Kuala Selangor highest viewpoint and discover the history of the surroundings was very appreciated. The fireflies show was magical. Shy and very subtle at the beginning before a real light show when it got darker. The blue tears experience was equally incredible. Watching the bioluminescent light felt surreal. Overall, the tour was well organized, relaxing, instructive and truly unique. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a memorable nature experience. Oh and thanks again for the incredible food (and the monkeys)

5.00My wife and I really enjoyed this trip. Great communication during the booking, pick up, and tour, from Sasi. The hill fort really dominated the surrounding area for hundreds of miles. The monkeys were more numerous, gentler, and more tolerant of photos than we could have hoped for. The fireflies were spectacular. I have seen a few dozen in Europe in the summer, but never thousands. Good value trip.
A lot of new Information and spectacular

5.00It was beautiful . Our tour guide Sasi explained everything and answered our questions. He guided us how to interact with monkeys and how to fed them. The food was a lot and delicious. We saw the fire flies and he catchs some of them for us to hold them. Also, we saw the blue tears from the boat.
