Well organized and pretty much everything as per the itinerary that was given. The local Malay food (snacks and dinner) was good. We had a good guide both in the van and on the cruise too. Sighting so many Proboscis monkeys in their natural habitat was the key highlight..And later in the night the fireflies viewing.

It was the best firefries experience for me.
I could enjoy the river view and observing some animals.
Staff explained about animals, and they sent me to hotel after that.
Thank you!

We saw three different species of monkeys very quickly, and many groups of them through the cruise.
Beautiful mangroves, and great evening light.
Food also very good.

We saw probiscus monkeys, small monkeys, fireflies, a crocodile and a hornbill! Our guide Sulani was very informative, roadworks on the 2 hour drive make it a bit of a journey, but overall it was a worthwhile experience.

The experience of going on a river nestled between pristine mangrove forests was truly unforgettable for a nature lover like me. It was also wonderful to see the probocis monkeys that are endemic to Borneo. Although we had a full moon that didn’t make things great for viewing fireflies we did get a chance to see them and this is another wonderful sight. Recommend you go when there isn’t a full moon. Overall a great and memorable visit

The guides on the boat were very knowledgeable and definitely have an amazing eye sight to see the animals in the jungle. Our group saw so many animals. The sunset on the boat was great. The fireflies in the night were insanely beautiful- like a Christmas tree in the dark. Must try! The water is bioluminescence at some places. It will be good to add that. The last part of the boat ride - clear sky with stars, the fireflies on the tree and the bioluminescent water. Imagine that. Unfortunately no camera can capture this beauty - got to see it in person.

Really enjoyed this affordable day trip. We were able to see much wildlife, and the Probiscis Monkeys didn't disappoint. This tour is operated by the company that actually provides the tour, so you're not paying for any middlemen. A highly recommended tour.

The bus was not properly managed, and the driver told that the battery might run out on the way. He decided to search for a battery so it took a time. He eventually got the battery, but it cost us a lot of time and gave us a tight schedule. Also, even though he changed the battery, the new battery was not enough and he ended up returning home without air conditioning. We arrived at the hotel an hour later than originally planned. It was quite physically demanding.
There were some people who came via other tour companies. They were on more reliable buses and arrived more earlier at same hotel.
The content of the tour was very good. We could see two proboscis monkey groups and hornbill and crocodile.
The monkeys were very far away, so it would be best to bring binoculars.
It was magical to see so many fireflies. All the tour guests were trying to take pictures, so the light from their cell phones was a nuisance. I think it would be a good idea to ban cell phones during the firefly tour.
