The tour was OK. Lots of time spent traveling. Fireflies look like lights blinking in the trees. You do not get to see the fireflies up close and no explanation is given. Time seeing the fireflies was about 5-10 minutes. Same with the Blue tears. You are given a net to put in the water as the...
The tour was OK. Lots of time spent traveling. Fireflies look like lights blinking in the trees. You do not get to see the fireflies up close and no explanation is given. Time seeing the fireflies was about 5-10 minutes. Same with the Blue tears. You are given a net to put in the water as the boat travels slowly for about 5-10 minutes. If you have never seen bioluminescence, then maybe it may be of some interest. It is brackish water though so the color of the water is brown. The other two stops were really a waste of time,a Hindu temple elaboratly carved, built about 10 years ago and a park with llighthouse where you can see some ocean…Monkeys everywhere. Again no explanation given during these two stops. We left at 4 pm got back at 10 pm. IMO not really worth the time or money.Tour guide was very lovely and answered all questions. Saw fireflies and glowing plankton. Glad I went 😊

Let me write a thorough review for anyone who has questions or is hesitant about booking. This was my first time booking a tour on TripAdvisor so I was a little skeptical and there weren’t too many reviews, but I’m so glad I did! Overall, my husband and I had a wonderful time, so BOOK IT!!! Itinerary 4:10-pick up from hotel, there was another couple that was picked up from a diff hotel. I think he’s able to fit 3 couples total in his SUV. He provides 1 water bottle for each guest. 5:00ish-toilet break at a gas station and you can pick up snacks. 5:30-Hindu temple, it was raining so we didn’t do this. 5:45-monkey feeding. It was raining, but this was so much fun and such a great experience!! Must do!!! The monkeys were so friendly and I was able to even see baby monkeys attached to their mamas. 6:00-lighthouse for view/pictures. Still raining, but beautiful. 6:15-fisherman’s wharf where the firefly boat is. 6:15-I’m guessing since we didn’t do the Hindu temple, we had an hour gap, so we ate dinner at the restaurant next door. GET THEIR TOM YUM SOUP. It is to die for. The best my husband and I have ever had and he’s been to Thailand. 7:15ish-firefly tour. Thank goodness the rain stopped!!! Seeing the fireflies light up in the trees brought as much joy as Christmas lights. They didn’t really go toward the boat, but that’s okay. We still loved it. 8:30-they bring everyone back to the dock to drop off who isn’t continuing with the blue tears. 8:35-blue tears. They give you a fishing net basically to swish in the water and the microorganisms glow in the water. We enjoyed this as well! 9:00-back to dock and time to go back to KL. 10:00-drop off at hotel Tips-if you’re not doing blue tears, you’ll end up waiting ~30mins for whoever is doing that portion of the trip. So not sure if you need to ask LG or not. Or just do the blue tears. I’m a huge review reader, so previous reviews talking about their poor experience was solely on THEM and not LG. LG does not control the weather, so you can’t punish the man for still trying to give the best experience that you paid for. Everything he planned for the afternoon was amazing for us despite the rain. This isn’t some fancy yacht tour or anything, so come with an open mind and you’ll love it just as much as we did!!!Not worth the time or money.

Not worth the time or money. There was no actual tour or even a tour guide with this. This booking consisted of transportation to a very ramshackle neighborhood which took about 1 hour and 45 minutes door-to-door from our hotel. This whole thing was very poorly timed. We shared the vehicle with another couple who were picked up at their hotel after we were picked up. After driving for a long time, the driver stopped at a temple which was not open. Since the weather was bad, the other couple and us were not interested in waiting for it to open. We then went to see some monkeys which were roaming about in a parking lot - it was not fun. The other couple was not interested in this either and we did not even get out of the van. We arrived at the pier an hour early which was in a very dilapidated neighborhood. To burn the hour, we were given a choice of either participating in eagle feeding for an additional fee or sitting in a very unpalatable restaurant and consuming something for an additional fee. We were then led to a shared boat with about 25-30 others who were not part of our group. The boat was operated by an apparently too-young captain and was in poor condition with the seats and seat covers falling apart. We saw very few fireflies which were very dim. The entire reason for the tour - the fireflies - were hardly visible and nothing the like the photos on the website. While we were out on the water, we felt unsafe. There was a lot of lightning in the immediate area and the boat did not return to shore, even after the risk was brought to the tour operator’s attention. Instead, the boat captain handed out metal poles with nets attached (to skim the surface of the water) turning everyone into a lightning rod. Skip this tour. We would rather have done anything else. A nap at the hotel would have been time better spent.We had a lovely time on this trip. Our personal highlights were feeding the monkeys and seeing the fireflies. Our tour guide was very friendly and made the experience easy.

I thought they would cancel if the rain would make it so that you wouldn't see anything, but they did not. We just saw rain, two fireflies that they netted--- no blue tears, no monkeys, etc.
