Watching fireflies has become a major attraction for the district of Kuala Selangor where draws large number of tourists from all over the world. In fact, it has been listed as a “must-see” agenda in numerous international tour guides. Every night there is a stream of electric driven motor boat that ferry sight-seeing tourists up along the Selangor River silently to listen to the spectacular symphonic harmony of these fireflies while viewing their luminous flashes of light that is truly a magnificent sight to the eyes of the beholder.

As you sail silently on a boat along the riverbanks of the mangrove swamps, you can hear the jungle animals settling down for the night. And then, suddenly the trees come alive with lights flickering on the branches, just like the Christmas trees. Fireflies that have made their homes in the swamps emit these lights. As they fly unerringly from tree to tree before alighting on a branch, the fireflies seem to be orchestrating a special light show for you. It is a show not to be missed.

The toneless, powerful boat, which delivered the passenger to the heart of the river, roared in the flimsy voice, for fear that she would wake up the deeply asleep night and those fireflies were enjoying a sightseeing trip in the silence. As the boat passed a stretch of winding onto the surface of the water, she agitated the tiny spindrift as if a light dimple. It is an experience to be cruising on a boat along the river in the night to capture the beauty of this natural wonder. The best time to watch is 1 – 4 hours after sunset. Our fleet of modern fiberglass boats are electrically powered, ensuring absolutely no noise and air pollution.
