Description

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.

Itinerary

Admission included360 min

Our Kuala Selangor Firefly en-route Batu Caves Temple & Malawati Hill Day Tour is uniquely and carefully designed to be a perfect excursion for tourist especially for those visiting the city for first time with an expectation to experience the countryside and nature within a day. Our experienced chauffeur/guide will meet and greet you at the agreed time and location (Evening tour: 14:00Hrs). Enjoy and travel in comfort with air-conditioned vehicle. Tour starts with approximate 20-minutes’ drive to Batu Caves Temple from the city center. Batu Caves is an iconic and popular tourist attraction located just 13km north of Kuala Lumpur, site of a Hindu temple and shrine. Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines. Its main attraction is the statue of Lord Murugan standing at 42.7 m (140 ft) high, the world's tallest statue of Murugan. The main temple was located inside the cave and to reach it, visitors must climb a steep flight of 272 steps. Proceed to next destination with approximate 1 hour drive to reach Melawati Hill. Melawati Hill is a beautiful area with numerous attractions. The hill is also an important historical site that offers interesting insights into Selangor’s fascinating history. One of the main attractions of Bukit Melawati is the presence of silvered leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques, which are provisioned by tourists. The silvered leaf monkeys at Bukit Malawati are habituated to humans and sometimes willingly touch and climb on visitors approaching for food. Attractions also include a tram ride, a royal mausoleum and a museum. Continue your journey to Pasir Penambang Seafood Restaurant. Sit down for a delicious served dinner; enjoy your meal with wonderful sunset views over the Selangor River. Vegetarian and chicken options are available in addition to the seafood specialties. By 19:45Hrs, proceed to firefly Park jetty to board the boat. 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. The experience is surreal to say the least; it simply has to be seen to be believed. Transfer back to Kuala Lumpur.

Admission included20 min

Sri Shakti Temple is the only temple in the world where manifestations of all 51 Shaktis are installed. Consciously interspersed within this space are 96 carved pillars that depict the 96 universal principles of Hinduism.

Admission not included60 min

A ride on the tram will bring you straight to the top, where you get panoramic views of the surrounding hills and the sea. One thing you’ll immediately notice are the silver leaf monkeys that are found in abundance here (warning: Don’t feed them!). After you have taken all your photos, make your way to the nearby lighthouse. Although it’s over a century old, the lighthouse is still in use today to guide ships that cross the Straits of Malacca.

The fireflies are beautiful

The seafood dinner was delicious and filling. There were lots of fireflies and it was beautiful. Feeding the silver monkeys was fun.

Great trip. Fireflies just ok

The visit was great. For my daughter it was the best part of the trip. However the best parts were not the fireflies. Batu caves are amazing, interacting with the silverleaf monkeys and the food were amazing. The fireflies did not seem much more that what you would see in rural Maryland.

Not so good experience

I was expecting a group Tour, but it was a private Tour. The tabaco smell in the car for me is a no-no. I was also expecting a Guide, but it was more of a Driver. Good Driver, polite, but with no knowledge about the Tour and a less than basic English… we were lost in translation during six hours.

Tour guide wonderful; monkeys not so much

Tour guide Helmi was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him. Only downside: I got scratched by an aggressive macaque at the Batu Caves and had to visit the ER the following morning for a rabies shot! Watch out for the crazy monkeys!

only worth approx £30 each not £75 that we paid

we were take to the Batu caves where the driver couldnt park so we had to get out & walk, then try & find him later, also he said we only had 40 minutes at the caves so were very rushed, we could have done with 90 minutes there, then later in the day we had almost 2 hours to have dinner ( which was a very poor standard)

Operator response

Thank You very much for your precious time taken to give us this review kindly please take note that the batu caves temple in this tour is just an enroute which means its just a 30 mins photo stop before heading to a state called kuala selangor which is approximately 70+ kilometers might be 4 to 5 hours if its heavily traffic. if our driver was early then it means its clear on term of traffic on that particular day.And in term of food we take our guests to the local kuala selangor seafood quisine provided restaurant.Please understand that all our previous guests were had the same facilities.We appriciate ur time taken for this review.pls revert the details of the vehicle,date u've travelled,driver details through messanger for us to look forward,Thanks

Best tour ever.

This is the BEST TOUR!!! The Batu Caves are spectacular, we also saw temples, made friends with hundreds of monkeys, had a delicious Thai dinner, went on a boat ride to see the fireflies, and impromptu added 2 additional trips to feed the eagles and see the bioluminescent bay. I couldn't have asked for a better day.

Batu caves and firefly dinner is highly recommended

The Batu caves are worth the 272 steps up, what a wonderful experience! The firefly dinner and tour was something different and recommend. Our guide Shah was the stand out, he made us very comfortable and was friendly and professional.

An enchanting day

On a long layover at Kuala Lumpur airport, it was an incredible delight to spend the day with my driver Sha who took me to see some of the most amazing sites. Sha was kind, warm, funny, and an incredible companion for the day. I highly recommend this tour. Ask for Sha.

I am very butthurt that I was forced to pay for a second person even though I was a single.

I am very butthurt that I was forced to pay for two even though I was a single. I have canceled the others and will deal with vendors directly on site from now on.
