Escape from the hustle and bustle of Kuala Lumpur as you drive to the rural town of Kuala Selangor. The pleasant journey winds through old rubber and palm oil plantations, passing shanty-looking towns and several Malay villages. Kuala Selangor is renowned for its historic past and natural heritage of Mangrove forest and bird sanctuary, but it is the firefly phenomena for which the town is known best. Fireflies can only be seen in two locations around the world - the other being along the Amazon River in Brazil – and the site along the Selangor River is particularly special because it is easily accessible.
On arrival, there is the chance to walk the jungle trails, and learn about the Mangrove trees and native birds before enjoying dinner at a local restaurant. Then it’s time for the main event. Take a short sampan boat ride upstream to an area of river covered by thick mangroves on both sides. Here you can witness nature at its best as millions of fireflies flash their ‘lights’, a wonderful phenomena resembling rows of brightly lit Christmas trees. According to locals, the best time to see the fireflies is during the new moon, about one to four hours after sunset.
