Excellent service and highly recommended! Very helpful and informative English speaking guide, in addition to an attentive and careful boatman. Safe and comfortable ride on a catamaran. Never knew Teluk Intan had such substantial eco wonders. At one point, felt like I was in a National Geographic documentary....so many birds up close on an island untouched by humans and development. The guide even produced pictures of each bird type with clear explanations. Watching the birds returning to roost in various formations in the sky was pretty amazing. And they even provided a marine grade auto focus binocluars so that you can see the birds really clearly (so worthwhile!). We were also lucky enough to catch the sunset and the boatman took special effort to turn around so that we could see the full sunset even though we were heading back in the opposite direction. The guide also explained the history of Teluk Intan to us as we cruised along the river. Great experience! And if I were to return to this area again, would definitely go with this guide/company again for an eye-opening experience in an unassuming small town.

Possibly the largest river cruise operator in Teluk Intan, Marvels has a fleet of large and small boats to cater for different group sizes. We were fortunate to get the boss’ daughter as our captain and guide (unfortunately I didn’t get her name). She was very knowledgeable and provided many nuggets of information about the birds and also about the river and Teluk Intan. It was a most enjoyable cruise and well worth the money for a 1 hour trip. We took the extended cruise for Firefly watching. This was in a different boat with a Chinese speaking captain. He was very knowledgeable and knew where to find the trees with the most fireflies. But I found the sound of the boat motor and the camera lights by some of the passengers marred the experience. But overall it was still a worthwhile experience. I would recommend both the Pulau Bangau cruise and the Firefly Watching cruise to those visiting Teluk Intan. It’s a very unique experience and not to be missed.

Amazing and very informative boat tour to Pulau Bangau where we saw many species of birds during their flights home before sunset. The boat was very clean and spacious. We got the whole boat to ourselves, like a private boat tour. We paid RM30 per person for the sunset tour. We were able to move around the boat freely to take pictures. Boat operator is very friendly and provide a lot of information about the birds and species. A few of us continued with the fireflies boat tour, an additional RM15 per person only, promo price with the sunset tour. We did see some fireflies on the trees but not like the whole area with fireflies because they only congregate on certain trees. We wished to be able to see more. The toilets are clean, if anyone needs to go before riding the boat tour. Please go and support the tourism in Teluk Intan. Highly recommend this tour.

I spent yesterday evening with Firefly Marvels River Cruise and it was amazing. Thanks to the very helpful, friendly, informative and reliable tour guide and boat driver, I learned a lot about Teluk Intan, its beautiful nature and history. Pulau Bangau is such a hidden gem where you can rest your body and soul, watch many species both migratory and local birds. I was lucky enough to see a kingfisher here, among eagles, hundreds of egrets,… If you ask me will I comeback? It’s definitely a big YES. Highly recommend to have this experience with Firefly Marvels River Cruise!

Amazing experience. Took the 2 hour sunset cruise. It was partly cloudy which marred the picturesque sunset expectation. Witnessing tens of thousands birds of various species flying home was a sight to behold. Was fortunate to be able to see fireflies. The cruise would be perfect had the uncle boat handler could share more information during the cruise rather than chatting with his younger colleague regarding other clients’ complain of the latter driving the boat too fast.

There are few operators of river cruise in this area. Marvel's auntie Lim and her senior team are probably the best and most experienced ones to bring up the most highlights on said river. To describe our feelings about this birdwatching trip around the mangrove forest upstream of Perak River, it is simply awesome and impressive. It's still lingering in my mind of the magnificent scenery of flocks of egrets perching and resting in the trees.
