Fab your guide, lovely trip! - We had the best experience on this trip with our lovely guide LG.On a practical level things ran very smoothly as LG communicated with us clearly beforehand and picked us up at the time and place mentioned.
He took us to a beautiful temple, a lighthouse with lots of monkeys and a great view of the Melakka Strait, to a fishing village then onto the Firefly tour. Throughout he provided useful and interesting information and happily answered any questions.He was full of knowledge. He also made sure to get us a smaller boat on the Firefly trip so we could see it better, it was lovely looked like twinkling Christmas trees.
He then dropped us off at our hotel an hour later than planned without complaints. I would recommend LG to anyone wishing to do this trip He was a safe driver and very friendly.Enjoy your trip! Thanks LG from Henk and Julie Sept 24. You turned a good trip into a great one!

Loved the fireflies - I really enjoyed this! The fireflies were really cool, and I enjoyed riding in the boat along the river during sunset/night- very relaxing! I also did the blue tears, which wasn’t really worth paying extra for. We just saw a couple of specks in the water (nothing like the pictures online).

Amazing experience to discover Malaysia with a perfect guide - It has been a really nice trip. the tour guide LG was really efficient and prepared and he answered to all our questions and curiosities. Not only the fireflies themselves were enjoyable but also the visit of the Indian temple, the hill with the monkeys and the dinner in the fishermen's village. I highly recommend this trip when in Kuala Lumpur.

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.

Fast firefly boat - We loved the experience of the Fireflies Tour. A gentle start with a visit to a magnificent Hindu Temple, followed by a scenic outlook over the Mangrove trees and the local monkeys providing some entertainment.
The actual boat tour was fantastic. Speeding along the river with a cooling welcome breeze into the darkness was very exciting. The fireflies seemed sparse at first but soon put on an enchanting light show for us to be amazed by. Nature at her best that was a treat to our eyes seeing the glowing lights from these small creatures. We then moved on to try to see the plankton, sadly not as visually easy to enjoy as the fireflies. The speeding boats was amazing though!
