Amazing experience! - We did the Fireflies and Blue Tears together, although didn't know initially that they were separate tours to book. The trip was amazing and the tour guide was very knowledgeable and conneted with locals. It was an xperience that I'm glad I didn't mis having come from southern California (USA).

Magical forest - Indeed a magical experience. New boats, life jackets and explanations during the route. It was indeed a forest of fireflies in the wild. I appreciated that they were left (mostly) alone. If you need dinner, the Thai restaurant near the jetty is a must. One of the best Tom Yum I had. Very reasonably priced.

I had a great time on... - I had a great time on this tour. Selangor is only a short drive from KL (1 to 2 hours depending on traffic), and the route is lined with beautiful palm oil trees that make the trip even more scenic. I enjoyed all three stops, but the view on top of the hill was by far my favorite — absolutely breathtaking. Our tour guide and driver, LG, was friendly, knowledgeable, and made me feel completely safe throughout the journey, which is especially important to me as a solo female traveler. He offered helpful cautions when needed, shared great suggestions, and drove very safely. We didn’t get to see much of the blue plankton on my tour, but that’s always a bit of a gamble when it comes to nature. The fireflies, however, were magical and made the experience unforgettable.

Night of the firefly dance - It was a delightful magical experience to see natures gifts going about their business and extremely heart warming to hear the monkey loudly protest to the telecom engineers that they were invading on his property and he wasn’t happy

Our guide was excellent.... - Our guide was excellent. The temple was well worth a visit. It is beautiful. Dinner on the waterfront was very good. The view was amazing as we watched the setting sun. The fireflies were wonderful. I paid extra for the blue plankton, which was underwhelming.

solo travel - I joint the solo, calls join tour with 2 other solos. Guna it's very friendly and experienced your guide. The most amazing part is that he stays with us all the time, not just drop off. Feel much better and safer especially the monkey place. I'm afraid of animals. Thanks a lot Guna!

Mainly Woth While - It was fun, monkeys and temple and fireflies were cool. We paid extra for the glowing plankton, and this was not worth the money and was disappointing. Our tour guy was excellent.

Mekong River Cruise in Phnom Penh July 12, 2025 - Very satisfying tour. You must do it when you are in Phnom Penh. The food however was not the best. Operator charges USD 6 excluding drinks.
