• 3Bad communications and misleading advertisement.

  The pickup experience was terrible. Sent a query the night before to confirm exact pickup time from hotel with no response. Then rang up in the morning a few hours before tour starts and was finally informed to be 1:20pm. We were all ready before then and waited and waited until the time has passed by and I had to ring up again to see what was happening. I was then told the driver will arrive by 1:50pm. 1:50pm came and went and I had to keep sending messages and made unsuccessful phone calls. At 2:23pm, I told the lady that the tour is now delayed by so much, it was probably not much of a point to go anymore. She kept insisting the driver was on his way. Well, he did arrive at 2:35pm and there were 3 more pickups after us before we headed down to Bongawan. That was nearly 3pm by then and we were geographically still about 5mins walk from our hotel. Once everyone was on board, the guide then apologised for the delay, saying that the driver had a puncture and was delayed in having to change the tyre. That would have been a horrendously long time to change the tyre (maybe it was all 4 tyres!!) and besides that not once were we informed about the reason for the delay except "the driver is on the way and we're expediting". The expected tour start was 1pm and this was now 2hrs later. We can only assume that the daytime activities had to be shortened with less time on the boat and possibly checking out the same short stretch of the river a few times instead of a longer stretch, interspersed with dinner and time on the beach. The mirror image of the boat in the advertisement for this tour is a complete furphy. We didn't see anything like that and the guide didn't even seem to know about that image when I showed it to him. At dinner, it was most unhygienic and a concern to see cats allowed to jump onto tables and eating the scraps off the table. It was a real turn-off.

• 5Malaysian Jungle Cruise +++

  Such a fun time! Our guide, Kel, was so nice and very informative. Our tour included hotel pick up and drop off, a snack upon arrival, a boat ride to see monkeys and more, an authentic Malaysian buffet dinner, a trip to the beach for sky mirror pics and a beautiful sunset and ended with fireflies. Our group was able to see two kinds of monkeys as well as crocodiles and monitor lizards - we felt soooo lucky. Plus, the firefly experience felt very special. (I was a little freaked out by the fireflies, but also in awe of them.) - This was a very fun outing. Do bring bug spray/mosquito repellent and consider wearing long pants and long sleeve tops.
