Me and my friends booked the Firefly tour yesterday. Thanks Irman, a friendly staff from Club Med Cherating who arranged the tour for us. Overall, the tour is still worth a visit for first timer to experience the magical night. But, I was so disappointed to see the organizer who did not put his mask on during the briefing session. A sensitive time like this with the covid19 cases is piling up, everybody should play their part, protect themself and the ppl around! So, Pls put your mask on!

We booked a nite fire fly tour with Hafiz and was pleasantly suprised by his ability to call the fireflies to come perform for him. It was an interesting experience, and although the number of fireflies are not as much as Kampung Kuantan in Kuala Selangor, there were places where there were a fair bit of them. To see them twinkling like little stars, and moving to land on the person infront of you, is quite an experience. Coupled with the stars above, and the shiloutte of the trees against the night sky, and the still of night broken only by the purr of the boat engine is quite an experience. For RM45 per person for an hour is quite worth the while considering Hafiz is quite knowledgeable in this field, and have taken a 5 year.course to learn to communicate with fireflies. Good to educate children about the fireflies too.

I am a regular Tripadvisor contributor and don't think the review coverage here is really helping people make easy choices. I hope other reviewers can add more details about different providers and tips. I have done this activity a couple of times and my observations of trying to use a smaller operator this time, NBA Sports (in front of Casa Del Mar resort) are: Pros: - this is a must do trip if you can afford it, great fun - the islands are really worth seeing and you cover all a boat trip would - sometimes you are the only jetski with smaller providers and have more flexibility - despite the other bad reviews our jetski did not breakdown at all - 4 hour tour at MYR800 for two on a 1200cc jetski - reasonable photos and video taken by driver sent free within 2 hours of finishing Cons - booking online in advance is not necessary and overpriced. If you have a few days on Cenang Beach just lock in a trip on your first day. Someone correct me if they were there during a busy time and could not get a tour. - there are loads of jetski operators on the beach not many of whom instil any confidence and even when their equipment looks good what you get on the day is a different story. Our jetski was old, broken mirrors, ill fitting torn beach shoes - our tour guide seemed to have been just someone they found on the day. I suspect the beach stalls just secure bookings take a commission then pass the booking on to the jetski owner who finds a driver. You are left waiting around a lot. - driver had poor english but you do not need much guide talk for the sites, it is mostly visual. He also preferred to hangout with other drivers at each stop with no intent to entertain the customer. Unfortunately, the other bad reviews when you are spending a lot of money, do scare people into just using the main couple of higher priced companies. Even one of those, Seeman, demonstrates a terrible customer attitude when you read how they respond to complaints. I avoided them for this reason. Providers do not appear to negotiate much on price but will 'add' islands onto your trip, 'upgrade' you to a bigger machine, have an english speaking guide. I don't believe any of this comes through because they may pass you off to another company to fulfil the trip. When you get your receipt have them write down all of these promises but I guess the trips are all the same despite the extras. Whoever you choose, it is a really good trip but yes the drivers go fast and the sea gets very turbulent at times so it can be a bumpy ride. If you are the only jetski maybe skip the lake stop, it is boring and not the best use of half an hour.
