First we went to the Batu Caves. Really glad we did this as part of a trip and not on our own as you only need about an hour there. Then we did the Eagle feeding, Fireflies and the Blue Tears all in one boat trip. Followed by an excellent dinner.

Really worth driving if you are nature enthusiasts. Jungles are nice, meeting locals were also interesting, funny boat ride and ok dinner.

Both driver (Vasu) and guide (dont remember his mame) were amazing. Very attentive, great sense of humor and proffesional.
