  • If raja is your driver,...

    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.

    Rayhan Raj Naidu was a great tour guide- he communicated well before our tour and always gave us plenty of local information during the tour. We enjoyed the seafood dinner before the firefly tour. The boat ride was well organised with life jackets and plenty of room in the boat. The fireflies were magical as we cruised past the mangroves . Upon return our driver was ready to take us back to KL. we combined this tour with another tour during the day so it was a long but successful day.

    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

  • Amazing night up close with the fireflies.

    What a brilliant trip, Rajan our driver was so knowledgeable and gave us loads of information at each stop- Indian temple, monkeys and areas we passed along the way. The feeding of the eagles was an impressive sight and the fireflies are a one off amazing sight. The food we ordered was delicious and big portions. Rajan made us all comfortable and expertly drove us to the venues and made it a memorable trip - thank you Rajan👍😀🙏

    This was the worst experience I had ever been in. First the bus was full of roaches and upon telling the driver he did nothing and shrugged it off. Then we went to a Hindu temple I think, and in the rain had to remove our socks and shoes and walk thru the rocks. Then we went to the firefly’s and it was aweful. The plankton blue thing was cool but so not worth the money. Don’t be expecting dinner because even though it said it in the ad it was not included neither was the blue plankton thing had to pay extra. All in all not worth it to me. Just make sure you buy the right trip and read what included first. TWICE!!!

    It was a kind of scam. In spite of the tour information on the website, dinner was NOT included. Fireflies were so beautiful, and the driver was nice.
