Could not do the fireflies tour, multiple delays and it was late! There was no refund as well, overall poor experience. Very tough to get hold of tour operators, they never respond via the trip advisor app.

We had a very short 2 day stop over in Kuala Lumpur on our way home from Japan and only arranged the one tour whilst we were here, and I am glad it was this one. Communication leading up to the day was excellent, and our guide, Rayhan Naidu, made the entire experience excellent. From the moment he picked us up he was friendly and informative. He took us to the mind blowing Baku caves, and to feed the troupes of monkeys around Kuala Selangor which was amazing. We had a great seafood meal (and I'm not a fan of seafood at all) and finished off with the firefly boat tour. I wasn't expecting much from the boat tour given the time of year, but it ended up being more then I expected. Overall, we were very happy with the tour and the service provided throughout.

We went to see the Firefly colony in Selangor with Aani Tour. The guide, Fauzi, was very polite and answered all the questions we had. We were a small group - just 4 people in total. We got to see a Hindu temple, feed and interact with silver-tail monkeys at Koti Melawati and then had a nice dinner at seafood restaurant next to the boat pier. The boat ride to see the fireflies is nice. The fireflies themselves are mostly hidden in the bushes along the shore, so don't expect something grand and majestic - but it's an interesting lights show. For an additional RM 50 we upgraded our tour to see the Blue Tears plankton as well, fluorescent blue in the river. All in all, it's a nice, calm trip. There aren't any huge highlights or crazy views, but the sum of it all was a very positive experience.
