Description

One of the state’s best-kept secrets, the fireflies colonies at Kampung Kuantan and Kampung Bukit Belimbing are a rare natural phenomena. These tiny insects live on berembang (Sonneratia caseolaris) trees that grow in the brackish waters. The fireflies all are found on the mangrove tree species called berembang. Fireflies are also known 'Lightning Bugs' and they shine brightly at the night to attract a suitable partner. Apparently, they are able to shine during the day too but humans then cannot see it. They are only seen at night in and along the 'Berembang' trees along the Selangor River. Enjoy a seafood dinner and boat ride along the river to watch this enchanting display. (Free Boat-ride)

Kuala Selangor is a small coastal village northwest of Kuala Lumpur. On this river you can spot the famous fireflies (Kelip-Kelip in Bahasa Melayu) during evenings/nights. The fireflies all are found on the mangrove tree species called berembang. It is said that this is one of the biggest firefly colonies in the world. Fireflies are also known 'Lightning Bugs' and they shine brightly at the night to attract a suitable partner. Apparently, they are able to shine during the day too but humans then cannot see it. They are only seen at night in and along the 'Berembang' trees along the Selangor River. There are a couple of nice restaurants where they mainly serve fresh seafood. Restoran Kuala Selangor is where we enjoyed a very nice local meal at Pasir Penambang.

Firefly visit and seafood donner

Enjoyed visit to Indian Temple, Monkey.Park and boat trip to see fireflies. Very disappointed with seafood dinner. Food mediocre and we were just dropped off at venue without any information as to what we were entitled to because on arrival at the restaurant we were just presented with menus so could have unintentionally chosen food that we were not entitled to and being charged for such food. This was because our driver did not speak English so gave us no information of what food was included in our tour package.
