Fireflies and Blue Tears with Sasi

5.00This is a well organised tour from booking to finish. The tour operator kept us informed right after we had confirmed our booking. Sasi the tour guide sent us all necessary information before pickup. The coach was clean and comfortable. Sasi was very knowledgeable about the history of Malaysia and the places we visited. There is smooth transition from one place to another. We saw the largest colony of fireflies in the world and enjoyed playing with the blue tears. This is an unforgettable experience with an excellent tour guide.

5.00A very interesting and varied tour led by Sasi. His knowledge of the local history of the area was top class. The boat trip to see the fireflies and luminescent plankton is a must although a good covering of mosquito repellent is advisable
Brilliant tour! Highly recommend

5.00We had a brilliant tour, the monkeys were an unexpected surprise, but well worth the stop and feeding them was hilarious. We had an excellent spot for dinner (very raw and authentic with a great river view and sunset. Then!!! The fire flies and blue tears, which was great, and our tour guide Sasi caught some fire flies and passed them to us to hold, which was unique. Sasi enhanced the experience with his funny and infectious personality. Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to experience the local nature.
Magical tour, highly recommend

5.00Released on February 23, 2026 with our guide Sasi. A very well organized, entertaining and totally stunning outing! The stop at the Indian temple is exotic and quiet because little attended. The amazing experience is at the moment of the encounter with the monkeys! They're everywhere. Absolutely not wild, you can feed them planned on site (5WD). They jump on your shoulders without fear or aggression. The boat ride at night was great. The highlight of the show: fireflies galore in the dark and in incredible calm! And finally, the plankton that turns the water blue and creates beautiful drawings! Thai food is also to be highlighted: very good, very diverse and hearty. Extras (drinks other than water) remain cheap. Departure from the hotel and return to the same place saves time and simplifies our procedures in the great city of Kuala Lumpur. All on a little more than an hour's outbound journey. Let’s finish with our guide Sasi very friendly, affordable, knowing his job very well. He gave many local and even personal anecdotes, making the experience even more enriching. Trip taken on February 23, 2026 with our guide Sasi A very well-organized, entertaining, and absolutely amazing trip! The stop at the Indian temple is a welcome change of scenery and peaceful because it's not crowded. The truly amazing experience is when you encounter the monkeys! They're everywhere. Completely unshy, you can feed them the food provided there (5 RM). They jump onto your shoulders without fear or aggression. The boat trip at night was fantastic. The highlight: fireflies everywhere in the dark and in incredible stillness! And finally, the plankton that turns the water blue and creates magnificent patterns! The Thai meal also deserves a mention: very good, very varied, and generous portions. Extras (drinks other than water) are still inexpensive. Departing from and returning to the same hotel saves time and simplifies getting around the big city of Kuala Lumpur. The entire journey took just over an hour each way. Finally, our guide Sasi was very friendly, approachable, and extremely knowledgeable. He shared numerous local and even personal anecdotes, making the experience even more enriching.
Highly recommend to visit this place with Guide Sasi
