If raja is your driver, he’s nice, but he’s a hustler. Our tour did not include the Batu caves but he offered to taus there anyway. He said I had to have a shawl to cover my shoulders and took us to a shop where they made and sold shawls. They were very expensive and you felt pressured to buy. When we got to the caves there were so many ladies with tank top shirts. I did not need to purchase a shawl, he just hustled us for a sale. The stairs leading to the caves were filthy. Smelled like feces. I didn’t want to touch the rails but it was so steep, you had to. Monkeys were grabbing bags. If you need ruse the restroom there they charge for the toilet paper and the use of the toilet. After that we did see monkeys. If you buy food they will jump on you, scratch and possibly bite. Then when we got to the firefly excursion raja once again tried to get us to buy tkts to see eagles which we did not care to see. The fireflies were dumb. It was a quick boat ride out in mosquito infested waters to see tiny little light bugs. The pictures of the excursion showed a boat with food, but the food was not included. Probably best you don’t eat there. The next day my husband came down with a stomach bug or I’m afraid maybe a monkey bit him. He was trembling and has fever. Raja offered to take us on a private drive the next day and wanted to charge us more than what the app was asking.

Great excursion. The temple is very beautiful to see. The lighthouse and the area with the monkeys are mostly an attraction for tourists but it doesn't leave any great memories. For the boat trip I highly recommend the choice with the eagles, while the fireflies and the blue water are a bit disappointing. The guide did his job sufficiently

While our tour guide Fauzi was nice and knowledgeable the trip was very disappointing. We were the only ones on the tour. The temple was nice but it was closed. Pretty picture taking spot. The monkeys were cute and fun to watch. We were then driven to restaurant. The food was awful. No choices!!!! The cutlery was placed in a dirty bowl with hot water and placed on the table. We were given fried rice which was luke warm, soggy vegetables, some sort of chicken dish and something with prawns. We asked for water to drink which required a discussion among the wait staff before it was provided. Our tour guide said to “take our time” with dinner. We sat at the dirty restaurant for over 2 hours before our tour guide retrieved us. We were then taken to a boat dock and waited another thirty minutes for the boat with hordes of other people. Boat ride was not narrated, driver who had cigarette in his hand said not a word. Fireflies underwhelming.

The driver was very good - was essentially a private tour as only two of us - traffic was horrendous and heavy rain making journey very long Temple was beautiful and as we were late saw a ceremony - still raining though / taking shoes off in pouring rain slightly precarious on marble floors 🤣 The firefly trip was slightly disappointing - very few fire flies but they were there - the boat trip to see the plankton was in my opinion bad - the idea of sone people thrashing the water with nets is environmentally not on - they are destroying the plankton and really this should be discouraged and as the weather had been bad they was very little to see -leave nature to its devices The meal after was very good and very traditional It was good to do the trip but was a long way and in hindsight would have done a different trip
