Magical Night! - Wow! What a magical night. Our guide was Fitri and he knew so much about the Wikipedia along the river. It was pitch black and the fireflies were spectacular. My husband and I highly recommend this adventure. It was wonderful and Fitri did an outstanding job!

Dazzling after dark nature experience - The tour is amazing. The guide, Fitri & the boat captain were enthusiastic in showing us the wonders of nature, including pointing out Mars from the many stars & planets in the sky, where & how fireflies function, the dazzling water fleas & jellyfish, as well as a grey heron sleeping in the tree. We left with memories that will last for years to come.
