Tour Highlight

Proceed to Kuala Selangor town in the quiet hamlet of Kampung Kuantan, one of the largest firefly colonies in the world. On arrival at Kuala Selangor, visit “Kota Melawati”, a historic hill that features the remains of a late 18th-century fortress. Formerly known as “Fort Altingsburg”, its top hill provides a scenic view of the Selangor coastline as its backdrop, and Straits of Malacca can be seen on a clear day. Apart from being a historical site, Melawati Hill is also home to the silver-leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques.

Next, proceed to Kampung Kuantan – the highlight of the tour. Row upstream in a small unmotorised boat (tongkang) in the quiet darkness to witness the blinking trees. This scintillating display of fireflies portrays an image of a flashing Christmas tree. The synchronized, rhythmic flashing is produced by the thousands of fireflies found in the mangrove swamp of Kampung Kuantan. The skilled local oarsmen make this experience a memorable and unforgettable one.
