“This tour was misrepresented to us and we were very disappointed.Do not expect them to take you to the official popular tarsier sanctuary. You go to the Tarsier Conservation Area instead which is essentially a zoo with planted tarsiers on trees and no real conservation focus.I am vegan so very unhappy with this and couldn’t buy nice official merch - just cheap tat. Other parts include stopping at a church that was closed at that time in the morning, then stopping to take photos of the man made forest on the road because they don’t want to pay the official entrance fee for you. The river cruise was loud music…”
