Rubbish

Steven_L, Apr 2026
Do not book this. Sat waiting to be picked up by tour operator and they never turned up and I called them twice and they did not bother to reply. Ruined my day!!!!

Great tour!

Really nice tour. It was run from a small village where everyone we met was super nice. Mangrove tour was great, saw proboscis monkeys on route to the sunset island. The sunset was fantastic. Then after dark we got back on the boat looking for fireflies, we weren't disappointed !

Mangrove firefly cruise good, dinner good. The rest a waste of time

Seeing Fireflies in the dark was amazing. The snack before was unnecessary as was the trip to the island. There was nothing on the island except aload of rubbish on the beach that doesn't get collected and the police. The ride along through mangroves was interesting, seeing the monkeys and of course the fireflies. Dinner afterward was good.

Mangrove and fireflies Jan 24

Cruising down the river in the dark was quite amazing. Not many fireflies out and we did not spend time with the village kids or throw pots so that was a bit disappointing. The food was plentiful and delicious, even the doughnuts at the start! As there was no sunset due to weather the island was superfluous so this should be reconsidered if it rains.

Worth it.

Very nice tour. We were 6 persons and a guide in the tour and all by ourselves at the mangrove. Very beautiful and silent and the fireflies were a great experience. Eate very nice local food. Only catch was, that the pick up was half an hour late and same excuse as the day before (at our Orangutan Rehabilitation Centre) ‘The car broke down’!!!!
