About this experience

Kuala Selangor Firefly en-route Batu Caves Temple & Malawati Hill Day Tour is an exciting excursion to one of the biggest firefly colonies in the world. Fireflies locally-known as ‘kelip kelip’, perhaps Kuala Selangor’s biggest attraction. Admire the beautiful display of nature in awed silence, with the swishing sound of the water gently lapping against the sides of the boat breaking the silence. The experience is surreal to say the least; it simply has to be seen to be believed. As an added value, Kuala Selangor Firefly Tour includes en-route stop at Batu Caves Temple and Malawati Hill.

The trees along the riverbanks which can only see the silhouettes of in the dark on both sides are filled with thousands upon thousands of twinkling fireflies like stars in the night. When they say that these fireflies make the trees look like Christmas trees, they aren’t kidding; why, at this moment it feels as if Christmas has come early!, Admire the beautiful display of nature in awed silence, with the swishing sound of the water gently lapping against the sides of the boat breaking the silence.
