Every year in March a festival is held in honor of their ancestors where the villagers ask for better fortunes, good health and protection from evil. A village tour has been specially arranged with a Mah Meri Village Guide.

SEAFOOD DINNER After a frolicking time with the monkeys, adjourn to a riverside cafe for a sumptuous seafood dinner with complimentary 1 BIG bottle of beer for each guest.
MESMERIZING FIREFLIES  Catch a boat to watch fireflies in all their glory. Fireflies are lightning Bugs that shine brightly at night to attract a suitable partner. They feed, rest and make love daily – a mating ritual.  Their synchronous flash is produced by a bio chemical reaction  in their light organs situated on their bottoms. A sight to behold ! The boat ride into the nite is also exhilarating. Silence to prevail !.
