Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Bukit Melawati, Kuala Selangor Malaysia

Upon arriving Kuala Selangor, head to Kota Melawati (formerly known as Fort Altingsburg) located on Bukit Melawati, a hill at the mouth of the Selangor River. Explore the ruins of this old fort and see cannons and other artifacts from the early 1900s that overlook the expansive wetlands at the base of the hill.

Here, you’ll also see the Royal Mausoleum -- a royal burial ground containing the graves of the first three Sultans of Selangor -- as well as the legendary 100 staircase, which was created as a means to climb up Selangor Hill but is also a fabled execution block.


Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Kuala Selangor Nature Park (Taman Alam Kuala Selangor), Jalan mkampong indiya sungai terap Klang, Selangor, Kuala Selangor 45000 Malaysia

Head to Kuala Selangor Nature Park at the foot of Bukit Melawati, where your guide will help point out migratory birds. If you’re lucky, you may spot silvered-leaf monkeys and rare species of bird and butterflies native to this region.

Duration: 45 minutes

Stop At: Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park, Batang Berjuntal, Kuala Selangor Malaysia

At dusk, proceed to a nearby fishing village for a seafood dinner.
After dinner, take a short drive to Kampung Kuantan to board a typical Malaysian wooden row boat. Relax and enjoy the lush scenery as your skilled oarsmen row upstream through mangroves. As you enter the darkness of the night, you’ll witness one of nature’s most incredible phenomena – tiny twinkling lights of thousands of fireflies swarming among the trees. This is truly a magical sight!

Your boat ride will last between 30-45 minutes, and you’ll be driven back to your hotel afterward with an amazing story to tell.

Duration: 2 hours

Was brilliant. Loved the monkeys, such a great experience. Fireflies were impressive. Beautiful spot for dinner.

Well organised trip by Laurence. He included history and cultural information. We stopped to feed the monkeys which was a lovely experience. Gentle creatures but well fed, looked like they were recovering fromChristmas dinner. We were also given the opportunity to go on a short boat trip to see fishing eagles feeding (extra cost) which was well worth it as we saw dozens of wild eagles feeding. Dinner followed which was average and adequate then On the first boats to see the fireflies. They were fascinating if a little sparse as we had no rain that day. They are apparently most plentiful following rain. On the return trip to Kuala Lumpur our guide added a stop at a Hindu Temple which really made the whole experience magical. A great trip. Good value and experience. Ask for Laurence.

Firstly, we had an excellent driver who was really friendly and knowledgeable about many things. We really enjoyed travelling with him. All parts of the trip were fabulous from walking along the mango swamps to seeing the fireflies. The boatman placed a firefly in my wife's hand and she was delighted. We really could not recommend this trip more, or this driver, or this company. From the pick up to the drop off, it was fabulous.

The driver was on time to collect us at the hotel. The drive from KL to the Fireflies is very long at least one hour, it was a bit boring as we were on the motorway. The dinner was interesting. The Fireflies were beautiful.

Hi Guys, On the end of our amazing afternoon feeding the Monkey's our tour guide brought us to see the Eagles being fed which was well worth the side tour. We ventured to our seafood meal which was pretty ordinary, to say the least. We then ventured over to the boat that was taking us to see the fireflies. I have taken this tour prior which I felt gave people a closer opportunity to see these amazing insects. We headed out in speedboats which got us to our destination faster BUT there you see them, there you don't. It was a great experience but they need to focus on Quality, not quantity.
