Reviews
Was able to see a lot of fireflies in the area at night, even i it's just a short trip around the area. Only downside is the transportation getting to and from the area, but apart from that this is definitely worth including for a night itinerary
Here's a rephrased version: "We had an absolutely seamless and enjoyable experience! From checking in to the boat ride, everything went smoothly. Our knowledgeable guide expertly shared insights about the fireflies in multiple languages, ensuring everyone was engaged. After witnessing the mesmerizing fireflies, our guide went the extra mile to locate monitor lizards, making the tour even more fascinating. Highly recommended! we even chanced upon full moon! Grab ride to and fro Dearu hotel were easy to get too! Just be prepared for the aggressive mosquitoes – don't forget to pack plenty of insect repellent!"
Our family had a great time! It was pouring that evening and we reached late. But the first boat was not back yet due to the rain and we were advised we may see only 20-30% fireflies. We were offered the choice to ask for refund or still go for the ride. Glad we chose to go ahead and saw owls and monitor lizards and the skilful driver tried his best to manoeuvre the boat to let us get the best views.
Overall, the experience was interesting and unforgettable, being in a kampong setting. The supporting staff was approachable and helpful. We were entertained by the funny cruise guide who attempted to share more information about fireflies and the monitor lizard lying on the tree branch. Good opportunity to witness the firework in action and see the plenty of fireflies. Highly recommended.
Highly recommended! The park owner takes very good care of the fireflies to make sure they grow healthily! We didnt expect that there would be a traffic jam on the way to the park. we were so worried that we couldnt make it. We whatsapp the host and they replied to us speedily. They assure us that as long as we arrive by 7.30pm and we will be able to hop onto the boat! Thanks God that we did not give up and really made it !!! Our kids enjoy the tour very much while the host will explain about the fireflies life and eat
Very good experience. we booked 7.30pm slot and was stuck in a heavy jam. whatsapp them and managed to change to 8.30pm slot. It was raining thought going cancelled but did not and managed to see people put firework and we put sky lantern. Nice lady boss help us take photo and video. Very good service. Got a seafood shop nearby.
The tour started at around 19:30! First, I told the ticket office that I booked through Klook and they gave me a numbered ticket! After that, I got on the boat and the tour started! I enjoyed it for about 40 minutes! There was also some firefly fan service on the way, so it was fun! It was really dark and hard to see, so if you have bad eyesight, you should wear glasses...
It was a wonderful and nice experience. A good learning experience of fireflies habitat. Close encounter of fireflies and other night animal.
nice and chill. good exprience. far from city however that should be the reason why we can see them.
Nice and friendly staff, well experienced boat driver , A good place for family outing and for dinner they have seafood restaurant
Good to know
