About this experience

Your tour will start with you being picked up at your hotel by one of our English speaking local guides. After a one hour drive you'll arrive at Melawati hill where you'll spend some time in the presence of wild monkeys and soak in some history (see a colonial-era lighthouse, a few leftover cannons, a royal mausoleum, a fort, and a small museum devoted to Selangor state history), all from the top of a hill overlooking the ocean! You'll then be taken to a local fisherman's village where you can enjoy some delicious seafood!

The real fun begins after dinner when you take a river boat trip to see millions of glowing fireflies!
