Reviews
Highly recommended to join this tour! As per our guide Dudy, it is higher chance to see proboscis monkey and fireflies at Weston compared to other mangrove site but the only downside is the journey is abit longer around 2 hr 30 mins drive. however we felt that it was worth the travel. We managed to spot a few groups of proboscis monkey, bushes of fireflies, spectacular sunset with a wild crocodile (tho was very cloudy) and teatime & dinner was great too.
The local guide contacted me via WhatsApp to coordinate the pickup time and location for the tour, which was very timely and efficient! Although it started with a heavy downpour that day, we were lucky enough to see several proboscis monkeys up close, constantly eating, right after setting sail! The ever-changing sunset scenery after the rain was breathtaking, and the amazing fireflies we saw after dark were equally stunning and unforgettable! Although the journey was a bit long and bumpy, it was definitely worth the trip and the price!
We had an amazing experience with our guide Dudy — funny, knowledgeable, and great at spotting Proboscis Monkeys. We were lucky to see several groups, including the dominant male with his long nose and white tail. The tour was respectful to nature, and avoiding mosquito repellent helped us enjoy the fireflies too. Despite the long travel, it was absolutely worth it. Thanks our guide Dudy for his insights and professionalism! By the way, I hope not to see young crocodiles with their mouths tied on future visits — I’d much rather see them freely in their natural river habitat.
Although the journey was bumpy and long (2.5 hours one way), we saw dozens of wild proboscis monkeys, long-tailed macaques, crocodiles, beautiful sunsets and evening glow, and starry sky and fireflies at night! The tour guide Dudy is very talkative and humorous, I highly recommend this trip!
The tour guide Victor was kind and friendly. We took a special car to pick us up directly at the hotel. Although the journey took about 2.5 hours, we were able to see several groups of proboscis monkeys and feel the atmosphere of a rainforest jungle adventure. Although it was stormy and we couldn't see the sunset, the romantic and dreamy atmosphere of the fireflies at night was really beautiful!
We took a bumpy bus ride for over two hours to Weston. We originally thought we'd just be seeing the coast, but we ended up going quite far. However, our tour guide was very dedicated and responsible, always smiling and with a great attitude. There were five people in our group, and we had bilingual explanations the whole way. We even got to touch a small crocodile. The afternoon tea and dinner were both delicious. If it were just about seeing monkeys, this trip would have been quite boring, but thankfully the fireflies at night were very beautiful, and the sunset was spectacular. It was worth the long trip, and it was a very wonderful experience overall. The only regret is not bringing a camera to take pictures of the monkeys and the swarms of fireflies at night. We could only see them with our own eyes; the photos didn't turn out well. Thanks to our tour guide.
I originally thought it was a carpooling with many people, but it suddenly became a two-person carpooling that day. I was very flattered. The tour guide was very nice and would remind us what we should pay attention to. We saw proboscis monkeys and fireflies, and the sunset was also very beautiful. Highly recommended!
It was a very enjoyable trip, big thanks to our guide, Sue Yee and driver, Max. Sue Yee gave very good explanations about the tour, and the food prepared by the locals was very good! Although Weston Wetlands is a distance away from the city, about 2-2.5 hours away, it was well worth it! Less crowd compared to other locations, we spotted a lot of monkeys (proboscis, silver-faced, long-tailed), birds and crocodiles. Firefly trip in the evening was very beautiful! Highly recommended!
The tour guide Victor is very responsible and attentive. He cares about the customers' feelings throughout the whole process and will provide some corresponding explanations. We will help you find the best spot to watch proboscis monkeys and fireflies. It is a pity that Malaysia’s tourism infrastructure is still a bit old.
Proboscis monkeys, long-tailed monkeys, and night monkeys were all seen! Dinner was ok and we even had crabs! The most shocking thing is the romance of fireflies twinkling like Christmas lights🥺🥺🥺
