Great Excursion from KK

Jordie_G, Mar 2025

Our tour was a bit rough, but not by fault of the tour staff - we happened to go during a huge downpour. However, the staff were so lovely and helpful the entire time. They did their best to navigate the situation well, helping us see monkeys and fireflies and maneuvering around the bad weather. We really appreciated them and their kindness. I hope we can come again and see the sunset when the weather is better!

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.

True Experience

Lily_G, May 2024

Friendly and very engaging guide, driver and crew. The cruise crew are attentive to details, engaging us in the actitivies and try their very best to attract FireFlies are so remarkable. A must tour and worth the journey. Don't expect too much for Tea/Coffee and Buffet dinner. Experience a simple local delight.

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.

The fire flies and sun...

The fire flies and sun set. It was beautiful and Mimi is extremely helpful and attentive. Highly recommended.

Super naar ons zin gehad, je merkt wel dat je met een grotere organisatie op pad bent, maar de gidsen doen erg hun best, en we hebben alles gezien wat ze beschrijven! Foto's zijn ook erg leuk geworden, en heel veel apen en vuurvliegjes gezien! En een leuke vuurshow op het strand!
