Great trip

Published on Jan, 2025

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.

A great all round excursion

Published on Feb, 2020

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.

Review of our tour February 16, 2020

Published on Feb, 2020

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.

Fireflies and monkeys

Published on Jan, 2020

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

Great evening

Published on Jan, 2020

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 :-)
