We loved the monkeys! For 10 ringgit you can get a bag of food, and the monkeys will hop up on your shoulder (sometimes multiple! 😂) for the food. They are very gentle however. This was our favourite part of the trip. The seafood lunch is fantastic, and really fresh. Only slight disappointment for us was the fireflies and blue tears part. The fireflies are flashing in some bushes, which I don’t know what I expected…”
