Sunset Cruise with My Pookie Wookie~ - My boyfriend and I had an awesome time on the Bongawan River Cruise! The food was great, and our guide really made the experience special. They even took some cute pics of us at the beach, which was a nice touch. The driver was on time, and since the trip starts in the evening, we caught an amazing sunset. The best part, though, was the fireflies – super romantic, especially for couples. I booked the whole thing through WhatsApp +6012-750 1311, and it was super easy. If you’re looking for a chill and scenic date idea, I’d totally recommend this cruise. And don’t forget to bring your phone for those firefly pics!

Wonderful Bongawan River Cruise Experience - My husband and I had an incredible experience on the Bongawan River Cruise with Heavenly Holidays Tours. The tour was wonderfully organized, allowing us to relax and enjoy the stunning views of mangroves and wildlife along the river. The highlight was spotting proboscis monkeys and the magical display of fireflies at dusk. Our guide was knowledgeable and passionate, sharing fascinating insights about the local ecosystem. The overall service was excellent, making it a truly memorable and serene adventure. Highly recommend for nature lovers. You can book your tour at facebook, Heavenly Holidays Tours.

A magical afternoon! - Excellent trip and fantastic value for money. The whole afternoon was awesome from spotting the probiscus monkeys, to feeding the monkeys who joined us on the boat before the amazing beach fire spectacle and a firefly finale that was truly magical. All this with included afternoon tea with banana fritters and a lovely Malaysian buffet lunch. I absolutely recommend this tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Thank you Heavenly Holidays!

Lovely day out - Lovely afternoon out, good communication via WhatsApp straight after booking. We had some rain but our guide handed out rain ponchos which was nice. We managed to see some proboscis monkeys pretty much immediately but from a distance as they are quite shy. Fireflies along the river was a very beautiful way to round up the trip Thank you

Just a nice day! - We had a nice day during this tour. From the moment we arrived, we immediately saw nose monkeys in the wild. Great! There were of course some small things that could be improved: the macaques were fed bananas and climbed into the boat. I found this dangerous and not animal-friendly. Also, there would be a fire show on the beach in the evening, but no one showed up. That was a shame. However, the fireflies were beautiful to see. Very special! 😍 All due respect to our tour guide, Fai. He knew a lot about the nostril monkeys, macaques, crocodiles and fireflies and spoke good English. He brought us safely back to the hotel afterwards. Furthermore, the tour started on time and the evening meal was tasty!

Nice afternoon experience with fireflies - Nice experience seeing the mangrove and the fireflies, good value for money. Bring binoculars to see the proboscis monkeys as they can be shy and stay far away.

Well worth it. - Went to the river, saw the monkeys. Then it pissed it down with rain - looked like the rest of the tour was off. We waited in the shelter for it to pass, and sure enough - it did! We scored a beautiful sunset, then cruised down the river to see the fireflies. Would rate 100%. Also, Joji - great taste in music. Grade A driver, love your work.
