It was a memorable experience and we had a great time. Great guides and nice foods too. We saw lots of proboscis monkeys and the firefly experience was wonderful. Highly recommend this experience!

Boat operators knew their stuff! Eagle vision spotting the monkeys in the trees! The mangroves looked like a Christmas tree lights display once the fireflies came out!

Long bus journey to Kawa Kawa. First stop at Aura Raudhah village beach & restaurant for tea break, we were slightly early, the snacks were not ready so we had some time to wonder at the beach area. The deco was quite nice with many swings and hammocks for pictures. However bathroom was really run down. We were told by the tour agency there was high tea, but the actual snack was just 2 miserable types of small donuts and coffee in an open air sheltered small eating area. The river cruise to see Proboscis monkeys were very disappointing and boring, saw only 2 macaque monkeys by the river bed, and 2 Proboscis monkeys high up on the tree but not clear. Dinner back at the same location, we got to see beautiful sunset at the beach before dinner started, it was simple servings of curry chicken, cabbage, egg with white rice and crackers. Then river cruise to see fireflies, it was very short duration only, we did see some but not a lot, and not many flew over to the boat. Overall we were not impressed with this tour.

I found the tour to be average. Did not see proposcis monkeys. You would think the tour operators of the river cruise would know where the proposcis monkeys usually stay. It was a waste just driving up and down the river. The sunset was beautiful. The fireflies were amazing.

Meet nice local people and enjoy the local food. The breezy river cruise is rejuvenating while enjoying the breathtaking sunset and observing the living creatures along the river - the proboscis monkey and fireflies are amazing. Highly recommended to those who love nature.
