The 15 Best Kuala Selangor Firefly Tours

43 tours  ·  from $35 a head

Boats leave after dusk and the trees only light up on a dry, still night. These 15 differ on the boat (electric or paddle), whether seafood dinner is included, and whether Sky Mirror or the Bukit Melawati monkeys fill the afternoon before.

“The fireflies were amazing but the blue tears did not appear although the captain tried hard. Unfortunately for me i do not like meals that are served on a lazy susan where it is a free for all so i ended up having to purchase my own meal. Also water on the table was hot. Tour guide was informative”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 150 reviews · from $60

Review of Kuala Selangor’s firefly cruise from Kuala Lumpur, with monkeys, temples, seafood, timing advice, safety tips, and honest value guidance.

“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…”

This was a great day out for pictures with the monkeys on your shoulders and the fireflies. The boat ride into the firefly mangroves was peaceful and exciting.

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 91 reviews · from $88

See Kuala Selangor’s fireflies, royal tombs, mangroves, monkeys, and seafood dinner on an 8-hour evening tour from Kuala Lumpur.

“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.”

So we were back in disappointed ☹️”
