Brilliant experience 9am - 10pm - Yesterday's trip to Batu Caves, Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary, Deerland Park, Bukit Melawati, and Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park was an eye-opening experience filled with a mix of wonder and concern.
At Batu Caves, the sheer grandeur of the temple was impressive, but visitors should remember to cover their shoulders and knees out of respect. The colorful statues and steep staircase make for a beautiful backdrop, though the heat and crowds can be overwhelming at times.
The visit to the Kuala Gandah Elephant Sanctuary left a deep impact. Learning about how elephants are sedated and moved due to the encroachment of palm oil farms was heartbreaking. The sanctuary offers tourists the chance to feed baby elephants for 3 MYR, which was a lovely moment but bittersweet. The sanctuary felt quite touristy, and while interacting with the elephants was special, the show put on for visitors felt uncomfortable and upsetting.
Deerland Park, while not as emotionally charged, offered a more laid-back experience where we got to feed small deer. It wasn't particularly exciting but provided an interesting glimpse into the area’s wildlife.
At Bukit Melawati, we encountered playful monkeys that eagerly jumped on people, especially those with food. You can buy food for 10 MYR from a local uncle on a bike, but it's important to stay cautious around the monkeys, as they can be unpredictable.
Finally, the trip ended with a serene, 20-minute boat ride at Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park. Drifting through the darkness while watching the fireflies light up the trees was magical. Just remember to bring mosquito repellent!
Overall, the day was a blend of unforgettable sights and experiences, but also highlighted the environmental challenges facing local wildlife. Lunch and dinner were provided. They are seafood options so let them know if you don’t want seafood in advance!

A fabulous experience! - Had a fabulous day with a lovely couple from the UK. Chandran was an excellent driver and guide for the day. He was very friendly and knowledgeable and we had enough time in each place without feeling rushed. It was lovely to be able to feed the elephants and hear about their rehabilitation and we enjoyed seeing the different monkeys throughout the day. The Batu Caves were busy but an amazing experience and we managed to see lots of fireflies despite it almost being a full moon. A brilliant (though long) day - thankyou!

We saw some great sights - Our driver was prompt to our hotel in the morning and greeted us with a smile and a hand shake. We started by telling us about our day and where we would be going to. We had a full minibus to ourselves so had plenty of room for comfort. First we saw some elephants at the sanctuary and was able to feed them and learn all about the differences between African and aisian. After we went to the deer land park for a quick stop to see many different animals and feed some deer. We then had lunch at a great local cafe where they made food to our needs and how we liked it. After we went to the Batu caves where our driver gave us plenty of time to explore by ourselves which was great. Finally we went for a lovely seafood dinner which our guide ordered for us before we watching some fireflies on a boat which was a brilliant sight. Thank you for a great tour.

Good cultural experience - The Batu caves and the fireflies were the highlight of this day trip. If you're going to the Silverleaf monkeys then definitely take mosquito repellent. Our driver was very nice and the overall experience of the day was great.

Great experience, surprise, small number of people, vehicle smellless - I'm a Chinese student. In the beginning, I signed up for this Trips because of its rich content. And colleagues from the UK surprised me, most importantly the driver, Mr Chandran, was very patient. Although I have limited English listening and speaking skills, drivers always wish I could understand more. The most impressive thing, of course, is the fascinating close contact with animals such as elephants and Malaysian monkeys. Thank you very much.

It was a nice trip with many activities - The trip was nice. We saw many places like: Batu Caves, silver monkeys, elephants and fireflies.
The food was nice, they can offer dishes for vegetarians, fish and meat lovers.
Deer land was closed but we have spent more time in elephant sanctuary and it was amazing.
Reminder for ladies: please take a long pants or long skirt for Batu Caves. Otherwise you will have to spend money and buy some scarf there.
There was no a tour guide. Only a driver. We spent extra money to hire a tour guide for elephant sanctuary. But in other places we were trying to understand everything by ourselves.
No one told to us to take mosquito repellent for a fireflies tour. It wasn’t written in the recommendations. So we were forced to ask for it other people because at night there were many mosquitos. I think the company should write about it.
In general, I would recommend this trip because you can see many places in 1 day.

Underwhelming - I chose this trip because it seemed a good all round experience although predominantly it was for the elephant experience.
Our driver was friendly but was not a guide so he did not come with us on the experiences. We started at the Batu caves which is a religious temple. I did not realise that as a woman we should have our legs and shoulders covered. I needed to buy a sarong before I went up the 250 stairs.
Next was deer land a family run ‘farm’ like place . Not impressed deer ,chickens, geese and other birds shut up in cages. Run down and under whelming is all I can say. Then onto the elephant sanctuary. I chose this as it sounded eco friendly described as not a tourist environment elephants living in their own environment etc.
The place is well run we stopped for lunch before a video on how the sanctuary rescues elephants. The video was hard hitting it showed how elephants were removed from their habitat because of farming palm oil on their land . They were split from their herds most never getting with their families again chained and sedated and transported by lorry and boat. It was really upsetting to watch. We were then taken to the baby elephants were we could by sugar cane to feed them. They were chained inside large cages where they could reach the public just by end of their trunks for the food. Then onto the stage where 4 adult elephants were paraded showing tricks etc . At this point we got up and left feeling very disheartened.
We were then taken to an area where we met the local monkeys . Again you can buy food and they will climb all over you to get it. Friendly and non aggressive in their natural environment was fun. We were driven to a local resturant for dinner which was nice then onto the fire flies. On a boat along river they looked just like fairy lights in the bushes . There was no commentary or explanation about them but was glad I had a sarong and insect repellant.
The whole trip was long and underwhelming unfortunately
