The Kuala Selangor Fireflies Tour is a half-day trip that takes you on a magical journey to witness millions of fireflies lighting up the night sky. It's a truly unique experience that you won't find anywhere else in the region close to Kuala Lumpur.
Your first stop is at Bukit Melawati, a hill that rises above Kuala Selangor and is home to the historic Fort Altingsburg and a lighthouse. From the top of the hill, you'll enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding countryside, the Strait of Malacca, and the nearby mangrove forests. The hill is surrounded by tall trees that are a haven for local birds, silver leaf monkeys, and long-tailed macaques, so keep an eye out for them during your visit. After visiting Bukit Melawati, you'll head to a nearby fishing village for a typical seafood dinner. You'll have a chance to taste some of the freshest and most delicious seafood dishes that Malaysia has to offer.
After dinner, it's time to head to Kampung Kuantan, the starting point for your fireflies boat trip. You'll board a traditional wooden boat that will be rowed along the Selangor River, which is surrounded by mangrove forests. As the boat glides through the calm waters, you'll be amazed by the sight of millions of fireflies lighting up the trees like twinkling electric lights on a Christmas tree. It's a truly breathtaking sight that you'll remember for a lifetime. The tour ends at around 20:30, and you'll be transferred back to your hotel in Kuala Lumpur. This is a tour that you don't want to miss, so book your spot today and experience the wonder of nature in all its glory.
