Nice tour, everything as... - Nice tour, everything as expected
The van is air conditioned, water provided
All the details about pickup were send by Whatsapp, the driver was on time
First took us to the Indian temple, told some interesting stories about it
Then - the hill with monkeys where it's possible to see and feed lots of monkeys. (I loved it!)
Then some time in the village before the start of the trip.
I have booked fireflies tour only, but all the rest in the tour were taking glowing plankton as well, I was offered a choice to wait for the group when they will go for plankton and join for fireflies part, or pay 50 ringitts extra and go to see both, I have chosen to pay extra and stay with the group. There was no pressure about buying the plankton tour, just an offer.
About the fireflies and plankton themselves - I did like it, it's an amazing experience, but please don't look at the pictures in the internet - neither fireflies no plankton are glowing this bright :) It is possible to see lots of fireflies in the bushes and plankton in the water if you touch it with a stick. But it might be disappointing if you expect it to be as bright as a christmas tree. I liked plankton more because I was not expecting it at all and I literally have seen no photoes in advance. Fireflies were a bit disappointing: I was expecting more privacy, but the river is wide, full with boats and people, and fireflies are not as bright as on pictures.

Memorable tour for family visit - Our driver/ guide was very nice and knowledgeable.
It was great to visit the Hindu temple and the view up to Malaka on our way.
The fireflies were just amazing and the boat driver was very kind.
We loved the Blue Tear at the end of the tour.
We had an amazing time during this tour, definitely recommend it to everyone, independent of your age.

Firefly + Blue Tears Tour - Our half day trip with LG was such a unique experience! He is a very kind guy and taught us a lot about the attractions but also Malaysian culture in general. One of the highlights of our trip! Highly recommended.

Great - Awesome. Definitely worth it.
The extra 50 MYR for the lighting plankton was worth it too even though it wasn’t as bright as the pictures.

Great half day excursion - Our tour with LG was really good. He is a great storyteller and very decent driver! Even the group with 6 people was neither too small nor too big!
By the way, I recommend everyone to do the blue tears (bioluminescent algae) in addition to the fireflies.
Thank you for this experience.

Amazing fireflies - Speedboat was really good fun. LG our guide was brilliant on the tour van which was very comfortable. The fireflies are amazing and very cool. Restaurants in the area when you stop for dinner are very limited , all seafood, so bring your own if you don’t eat seafood like me!

Tour as described, temple, monkeys and fireflies - Tour exactly as described, beautiful temple, cheeky monkeys and seeing fireflies in their natural habitat. Informative tour guide, would have scored higher but 45 min late pickup and did not have enough time to get food before going on boat, we did not do additional bioluminescence paid excursion. Overall good tour.
