Fireflies Experience
An unforgettable experience, a visit to Kampung Kuatan - one of the largest firefly colony in the world!
Depart Kuala Lumpur and head off to Kuala Selangor town in the quiet hamlet of Kampung Kuantan, home to firefly colonies.
On arrival at Kuala Selangor, visit “Kota Melawati” formerly known as “Fort Altingsburg”, the execution block, royal mausoleum and colonial buildings.
A bird sanctuary park at the foot of Bukit Melawati is an ideal place for bird watchers to watch migratory birds. You can also see around silvered leaf monkeys and butterflies.
Once in Kampung Kuantan, the highlight of the tour, row upstream in a small un-motorised 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.
