Cherating Firefly Tours: Pengalaman Unik Menyaksikan Kelip-Kelip di Sungai Cherating
Cherating, sebuah perkampungan pantai yang terletak di Pahang, Malaysia, menawarkan pengalaman unik menyaksikan kelip-kelip di sepanjang Sungai Cherating. Aktiviti ini membolehkan pengunjung menikmati keindahan alam semula jadi pada waktu malam sambil menyusuri sungai yang tenang.
Apa yang Menarik?
Keunikan Kelip-Kelip: Kelip-kelip di Cherating terkenal dengan kemampuan mereka untuk berkelip secara serentak, mencipta pemandangan seperti pokok Krismas yang hidup. Cahaya bioluminesen yang dipancarkan oleh serangga ini memberikan suasana magis dan romantis.
Pemandu Pelancong Berpengalaman: Pemandu pelancong tempatan yang berpengetahuan luas akan berkongsi maklumat mengenai ekosistem kelip-kelip, kepentingan pemeliharaan hutan paya bakau, dan kehidupan liar lain yang mendiami kawasan tersebut.
Maklumat Tambahan
Tempahan: Disarankan untuk membuat tempahan awal, terutama pada musim puncak, bagi memastikan ketersediaan tempat.
Pakaian: Pakai pakaian yang selesa dan gunakan penghalau serangga untuk mengelakkan gigitan nyamuk.
Etika: Elakkan menggunakan lampu suluh atau peralatan fotografi dengan lampu kilat, kerana cahaya terang boleh mengganggu kelip-kelip dan mengurangkan pengalaman keseluruhan.
Kesimpulan
Menyaksikan kelip-kelip di Cherating adalah pengalaman yang tidak boleh dilepaskan bagi pencinta alam dan mereka yang mencari aktiviti malam yang unik. Ia bukan sahaja menawarkan pemandangan yang menakjubkan tetapi juga memberikan kesedaran tentang kepentingan pemeliharaan alam sekitar.
Poorly managed by the appointed booking agent. Our booking was not available despite paying full amount. Fortunately we called the number available at the counter upon arrival. Sadly the agent also asked us to pay adult rate for the turtle release and at the location we found out it's half the price for kids. Hope the sanctuary management take action against the booking agent. Anyway kudos to the sanctuary management to accommodate us and the visit to the attractions was good. However we hope Mr. Hafiz could train the other guides to be good as him.Our boat rider doesn't explain anything and don't even move nearer to the trees. Kids started to complain as they were watching Mr. Hafiz doing a good job in another boat. We wished we could ride with him.
Wonderful experience. Mr Hafiz is so passionate with the firefly and he doing his magic to attract firefly with his flashlight.
We are quite lucky to sit on Mr Hafiz’s boat, firefly fly around like magical and we manage to catch for few times :)
Our experience was ok as we got in the boat with Hafiz as the guide. Expected to see more fireflies. The other boat was not so lucky as their guide did basically nothing. We heard a lady complaining loudly later at the counter about having to wait for Hafiz and his flashlights. Two boats with only one tour guide with the needed flashlights is a bad idea. Also, we were told air pollution is a problem but the boats used diesel powered engines, contributing to the air pollution...and sound pollution to a perfectly peaceful and beautiful night.
Terrible experience. Booked a turtle watch session at 9pm only to later find out :
1) Cherating Fireflies Sanctuary is not the main guide
2) The watch session is located at another location
3) The main guide is not responsive when asked about the watch location
4) NO where on Cherating Fireflies Sanctuary’s booking website mentioned that this activity start time is NOT DEFINITE. So you can be waiting all night for mama turtles. It wont be a problem as long as IT IS CLEARLY STATED on their website.
5) NO proper guide was given regarding what to wear. Apparently white apparel is not advisable due to the turtle’s light sensitivity
Please Cherating Firefly Sanctuary, state these important details on your website. RM 80 is not a little amount and are important information especially for first timers. Don’t exploit tourists.
Also for those taking part, please ABIDE by the briefing rules. DO NOT TURN ON YOUR PHONE FLASH LIGHT, or you’ll scare the turtles.
