The city itself is not on the water, so every boat day means leaving it: the Putrajaya lake, the Selangor estuary after dark, the mangroves at Klang. The 15 below are priced and clear about how much of the day is the drive.

“I would give this ZERO stars if I could. Please read #3. 1. When deciding on if this tour is worth your time and money, consider that the actual firefly sighting is about 15 minutes during this SIX HOUR TOUR. 2. The other time is filled with some excursions not described by the vendor. They encourage you to stop at a Hindu temple that supposedly opens at 5. After waiting for 20-30 minutes, the driver says that maybe they will open at 5:30. We politely but firmly asked to leave, as we didn’t want to wait around to see when they would open. 3. Instead of offering to see Malawati…”

“Its quite a long day out from Kuala Lumpur for about 20 minutes on the water looking at the fireflies. The fireflies light show is really worth seeing but the rest of the trip is quite forgettable. The lighthouse stop feels a bit like a tourist trap. Tour would be improved by leaving later in the day and allowing longer on the water with the fireflies.”
