Silver-Leafed Monkeys - and long-tailed macaques are the main draw to the Melawati Hill. The significant difference between the silver-leafed babies as compared to the adults is that these babies have golden fur while the adults have dull grey colours. These monkeys are a delight; they are gentle and playful. The long-tailed macaques, on the other hand, are generally a little more mischievous and if you turn your back for a second - you'd never know what they might do. A gentle reminder to exercise precautions with these lovely and wild animals, which can be quite erratic at times despite having so much human interaction.

Conducted on a traditional wooden rowboat touring along the river in Kampung Kuantan to see fireflies is a truly enchanting experience set in a beautiful and serene environment. As the sun sets, you'll glide quietly through the calm waters, surrounded by lush mangroves and the soft sounds of nature. The darkness gives way to the spectacular twinkling of thousands of fireflies, creating a magical light show that illuminates the trees and reflects on the water.
The tranquil setting and close proximity to nature make this tour a unique and memorable adventure, perfect for couples or families looking to connect with nature and witness one of Malaysia’s best natural wonders.

Fireflies - are also called “Lightning Bugs” and they belong to the nocturnal luminous beetle family Lampyridae. Within quiet and serene surroundings, these fireflies live very happily in the “Berembang” trees and shine like fire in the night to attract a mate. Come on down and enjoy the “Malaysian Version of Xmas”!
