  Excellent. Wasn’t 100% sure what to expect, but it was like watching little LED lights popping in the bushes from a boat. Seeing the temple and the monkeys on the way there was a bonus. I’m not sure the restaurant fully understood my food allergy though.

  This was an excellent trip and very good value for money. Our guide whose name sounded like Juan (forgive me if I got that wrong) was very considerate and efficient. We stopped for a photo opportunity at a Hindu Temple, then we stopped off to feed some monkeys which was an "interesting" experience, then we went out on a boat to feed eagles and seagulls, literally hundreds of them swarming around the boat. On the way back we saw a number of large lizards and on our return we had our included dinner at a Thai restaurant with chicken, calamari, prawns, fish, vegetables and fried rice, all of which was very good. Suitably watered and fed we went back out on the water again at dusk to see the fireflies. This was fascinating but almost impossible to photograph, an experience for your mind's eye rather than your camera. All told a very interesting and varied trip which I would thoroughly recommend.

  This tour is a great option for a night. Sri Shakti temple was a cool temple to visit, different from Sri Mariamman and Batu Caves that you'll see in other tours. Uniquely, it is not brightly painted like other Hindu temples. Very interesting to see. Feeding/petting monkeys was a lot of fun; they are adorable and friendly. Costs maybe 1 or 2$ to buy food for them. The restaurant was a Thai restaurant on the waterfront. We had sweet and sour fish, some kind of pork and vegetables, and fried rice (I'm guessing with Jasmine). Very, very good. It also allowed a fantastic view of the sunset. We did not visit the lighthouse on Bukit Melawati. I'm not sure if it was from time constraints or some other factor. However, it hardly mattered as from the description of the tour, you can't go inside anyway. The highlight of the tour was (of course) seeing the fireflies and the glowing water at night. I've never seen so many fireflies, nor have I seen water that glows as it goes into motion. I still don't know (and havene't researched) why it glows like that, but it's sure cool to see. Finally, our tour guide Hery/Harry (not sure how to spell it, since we received emails from someone spelling it Hery) was a fantastic tour guide. Very funny and always joking. Excellent guide.

  The scene of mangrove at nightfall was really beautiful. However, a brief introduction to the Indian temple and recommendation to major spots in Melawati Hill were not given. It is easy to miss the feature of the tour.

  The boat ride was good. However, the seafood dinner had a lot to be desired. I would have prefer buy my own food because what was order for us was very disappointed. The driver should not be driving, he is not a safe driver and dont think he can see the road on the return trip.

  The food at the seafood restaurant had a lot to desire, not because it was not good, but because it was ordered by the tour company and must have picked the cheapest dishes. Driver of vehicle should not be driving at all, very poor driver.

  We had a private tour arranged and is was very good. Our driver Rajan was very informative and gave us lots of advice - he was very kind and patient. The monkeys and fireflies made everyone happy

  The guide was super nice, it was so much fun feeding the monkeys and the fireflies were beautiful! Would definitely recommend you doing this trip if you’re looking for a fun evening outside of KL’s city center. Also, the seafood dinner was really tasty :-)

• Great Tour but didn't expect a motorised boat

  Harry was our driver. His English and sense of humor was fantastic. We visited in the wet season, so watching a huge storm added to the fun. At ALL times, Harry drove tot the conditions and we felt super safe. Our 1st stop was Sri Shakti Temple. You have to take your shoes off and no photos allowed. A huge mother cow was just wondering around the shelter shed, while another cow was tied to the temple. Next was Bukit Melawati. You can buy a bag of food for 10MR to feed the monkeys. The Silverleaf monkeys are quite friendly. It's the Macaque ones that you need to watch out for. Next was our Seafood Dinner at Kuana Hwa Seafood Restaurant. Right by the river. The food is extremely fresh. We didn't have to order as the menu was already selected for us. Fish, crab, vegetables, prawns and fried rice. Sensational. Drinks at your expense. Last was the Fireflies. The entrance was right next door to where we had dinner. I was a bit surprised to notice that we were on a motorised boat with about 20 other people. (Probably didn't read all the fine print info before booking). Made the most of it anyway. When it got darker, they looked like Xmas tree lights flashing on and off. It felt like we only had about 10 minutes all up, but it was probably enough time. Thanks to Harry and the team for getting us back to our hotel safely after a great wet seasons storm. Travel Yamu and Asni TOurs seem to be the same company.
