    Nice experience seeing the proboscis monkeys and fireflies. Sufficient time for observing the monkeys with binoculars and fireflies. It would be great to have more and cleaner toilets in the vicinity. Dinner was substantial

    This tour was described as an approximately 0ne and a half hour drive to the jetty for the river cruise. It took three hours to get there after we visited a chocolate outlet on the way, made out to be an additional tour experience but in reality this was probably just a deal the tour operator had done with the chocolate shop as a way to deliver customers to their door. The outlet is made out to give you the feeling this is a chocolate factory when in reality the chocolate is made elsewhere. This chocolate experience was not mentioned in the tour description and an unnecessary extension to an already long uninteresting tour. In the end we did see some Proboscis Monkeys but it was not worth spending over five hours crammed into an old mini van travelling over shocking roads to see some wildlife from a distance. The afternoon tea was very ordinary comprising of some slices of sweet potatoes deep fried in batter and other indistinguishable deep fried lumps. The fireflies were an interesting natural phenomena but highly exaggerated in the promotional photographs and description. I rarely complain or write poor reviews but in this case I wanted to provide some comments because the tour operator has been misleading in the way the tour is promoted and despite receiving poor reviews going back years and responding by saying that the feedback was valued and would be taken on board, nothing has been done to improve the tour. At least the tour guide was enthusiastic about the wildlife but no amount of enthusiasm will make up for this inferior tourism product.

    We saw many fireflies and a couple monkeys. The tour was an enjoyable vacation. The staff was professional and entertaining. The guide was very responsible. They made sure we were safe while we were enjoying the tour. Overall, I highly recommend this company. If I'm to return to Malaysia for another vacation, I would definitely book with them again.

    Boat operators knew their stuff! Eagle vision spotting the monkeys in the trees! The mangroves looked like a Christmas tree lights display once the fireflies came out!
