Where else are you going to get so many great experiences in one tour? - See a great temple. Have chilled out monkeys on your shoulders. A superb Thai meal for a small amount of money in a perfect setting as the sun goes down. See hundreds of fireflies along the riverside. Watch the water turn blue as your small net touches the plankton. Tour guide LG was excellent.

Wonderful Temple, Monkeys, River Tour. Helpful driver and guide. - The Sri Shakti Temple was delightful and memorable. Feeding the silver leafed monkeys was a highlight, the animals are very gentle and friendly, we could feed them bananas and green beans, available from a local stall. Plenty of time for it. A lovely experience. Lunch was available from a Thai Restaurant on the riverside. For vegetarians the in Tofu fried mixed vegetables was nice. The river tour on the Selangor river was a relaxing experience, fireflies and blue tears were amazing. We were well looked after, swimvests were handed ahead of getting on the boat. Our friendly guide looked well after us and knew the area well. Glad I went.

Not so blue plankton - Guide LG was fantastic. Easy to hear and understand. Visit with silver leaf monkeys was great. Fireflies were amazing. Blue plankton was disappointing. More like a bit of white glow if you stirred the water alot. Nothing like the pictures.

Not great - Driver came late. It was not so great as advertised. Fireflies were ok but the blue water wasn’t as blue. The marine plankton wasn’t really impressive. I understand that this is nature dependent but was not happy with the tour. Expectations were high. Failed to deliver.

Not like on pictures - The temple visit was great. Monkeys are friendly but be careful with food in your hand, they are not patient, some local people explained us what/how to do or not to do later. The tour is without meal which means there should be a max half an hour coffee/sandwich quick stop, not an hour plus where people basically cannot do anything else. Unfortunatelly the main attractions (blue tear and firefights) are hardly or not at all visible, even the boat rider asked the group if we see it and everyone on the boat said no, then 5 minutes later drove back to the piers. Maybe we didn't have a good luck on that day.

Mosquito Repellant ABSOLUTE MUST! - This would have been so much better. It was ruined by the attacking mosquitos. They were brutal. And although the tour operator and dock knew beforehand, they never said anything. There was no chance to prepare.
