What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Visitors often praise the thrilling spectacle of eagles swooping to catch food from the river, calling it a unique and memorable experience. However, some note that the number of eagles can be less than expected, and finding the correct departure point can be challenging due to unclear directions.
"There were not as many eagles as expected. The captain poured chicken skins into the river to attract eagles from the mangroves on both sides to grab food from the river. If you look closely, you can see that the eagles grabbed the chicken skins with their claws, and when they flew up, they lowered their heads and ate the chicken skins from their claws into their mouths. It was a very special experience."

"Can't search for a place, can't get it from Google, can't get it from Waze. And don't give directions on the road. So it makes it difficult for people who want to go, looking for it and can't find it"

Frequently Asked Questions
🚇 🗺️ Getting There
Getting to the jetty can be challenging as directions are not always clear. It's best to use specific GPS coordinates or ask locals for directions to the departure point. Many visitors travel from Kuala Lumpur by car or taxi.
Unfortunately, finding the exact location can be difficult. Reviews suggest that clear directions are often lacking, so pre-planning your route with GPS is highly recommended.
For visitors coming from Kuala Lumpur, driving or taking a taxi is common. The journey takes approximately 1-1.5 hours depending on traffic.
Public transport options are limited and can be complex. It's generally easier and more convenient to arrange private transport or join a tour that includes transportation.
The boat ride itself is a scenic journey through the mangrove areas of the Selangor River, offering a glimpse of the local ecosystem before the eagle feeding begins.
🎫 🎫 Tickets & Entry
Pricing can vary depending on the tour operator. It's advisable to check with local tour providers or book in advance to get the most accurate pricing information.
Booking in advance is recommended, especially during peak seasons or weekends, to secure your spot and ensure availability.
Typically, a tour includes the boat ride, the eagle feeding experience, and sometimes a guide. Some packages might also include other activities like firefly watching.
The feeding usually happens during specific times of the day, often in the morning or late afternoon, to coincide with the eagles' feeding patterns. Confirm with your tour operator.
While some operators might offer tickets at the jetty, it's safer to book ahead to avoid disappointment, especially if you're traveling during busy periods.
📸 📸 Photography
Use a camera with a good zoom lens to capture the eagles as they swoop down. Fast shutter speeds are essential to freeze the action.
It can be challenging due to the speed of the eagles and the movement of the boat. Patience and practice are key.
A high ISO, fast shutter speed (e.g., 1/1000s or faster), and a wide aperture will help capture sharp images in varying light conditions.
Yes, you can use your phone, but a good zoom feature will be beneficial. Be prepared for quick shots as the eagles appear suddenly.
Generally, there are no specific restrictions, but be mindful of other passengers and avoid obstructing views.
