Good Exp - Amazing exp n great app. On time profrssuonal n friendly. Driver was on time. Other people were nice as well.

Well worth the trip - Our guide was great and pickup from hotel spot on time , couple of nice little stops on route to river trip Lovely river village with lots of local fish restaurants ( veg option available if needed ) trip up and down river was very exciting 👍🏼

Really enjoyable tour, LG was great! - The tour was great, we got time inside the Sri Shakti Temple (I was only expecting a photo stop), visit Melawati Hill and see the views and monkeys, buy our own dinner (because we didn't like the set seafood dinner tours), boat ride and fireflies. As with all things nature, its a bit of luck on whether you interact with monkeys and see fireflies. The success for our tour really comes down our driver and guide LG. It was raining in KL, it was a Saturday, traffic was bad meaning timing was tight, but we still got to through the itinerary, we didn't feel rushed, LG gave just the right amount of commentary, got us up Melawati Hill, and liaised with the boat company to get us sorted on the busy jetty. A very safe pair of hands. Re: the fireflies, there is a number of reviews that question whether its worth the tour. IMHO, sure they are like low wattage xmas lights, I'd recommend doing it if you haven't seen them before and because its an experience in a new country on top of the temple, hill, monkeys, commentary and boat ride.

- - 5* for Patrick our guide/driver, who made this experience so much more enjoyable. The fireflies created a magical atmosphere too.

Something different to try - Took this trip out of city to see fireflies. Stopped on the way to see monkeys which I was happy to look at from a distance and glad that they didn’t interact with you unless you bought the food to entice them on your back. The meal provided was excellent ( I don’t eat shellfish) there was chicken and veggies available. The boat trip was better than we expected. Not crowded and we saw lots of fireflies.

Our driver and guide was... - Our driver and guide was good. He drove safely through the Kuala Lumpur traffic and gave clear information about the places we visited. The drive is long though because of the amount of traffic in and around KL. The temple was very interesting. It's a shame no photos are allowed inside the temple because it certainly is unique. The visit to Malawati hill was most memorable for the silver leaf monkeys which are adorable. We had to wait quite a long time for our boat ride. The fireflies were visible, but I wouldn't say spectacular. Maybe that's because I've seen them elsewhere. I know people on this trip who had never seen fireflies were thrilled.

Worth a look but just be wary of online ticket purchase. - When we arrived at the desk there was some confusion over the online tickets I had bought. I was told I needed to get new tickets (cash only)?? Tour itself was okay but with a little wind there were only a few fireflies.

Scam - The fireflies were cool, but everyone should be advised you don’t actually get to see the blue bioluminescent water they advertise, but they will happily try and upsell you for it. Our boat driver was also very unsafe and nearly hit another boat as well. Additionally we only were on the water about 30 minutes of the entire tour.

Don’t waste your time - Long drive to see very little. Waste of time and money. Fireflies are stable and in the bushes. Yes, you do see the light. Almost nonexistent blue algae. We were given nets on a stick to stir the water and generate minute specs of color. Paid extra ten dollars each to see “blue” tiers.. lol. Our driver was nice and professional.

Choose a different tour company - I would recommend to anyone to do the firefly boat ride--it was really cool. But take a different tour. There are loads of them out there, and the viator tour was the wrong choice. The first stop temple was so lame. We couldn't go inside and it was on the side of a busy road, so not nice at all. The second stop (the lighthouse) was interesting, and it has fun monkeys to feed, but we didn't get enough time there and instead drove to the firefly boat location an hour early so our driver could try to convince us to add on eagle feeding. We did not want to, nor did we want to eat at the restaurant he took us to buy food, so we had over an hour to do nothing. And then because we didn't do the bioluminescent add-on we sat around another 30 minutes at the end. So unless you want to do every single activity, find a different tour! (And even if you do, I think there are cheaper tour options out there. We only picked this one because we wanted to book same-day and had trouble doing that with another one.) Our driver was nice enough, but he didn't give us much or any information about our stops.
