We hail from india and are quite familiar with fireflies. But this firefly garden is a novel idea showing natures way of decorating trees. The boats that take you for the trip are battery operated and don't harm the flies, which is againn a very thoughtful concept. Children and nature lovers will be delighted. Booking a taxi is the easier... More

A tour one of the longboats is R10 each, max 4per boat. The trip goes for 20mins, you could dobit twice if you wanted. We would have been cranky if we'd spent USD100 on a round trip from KL as its a quiet, small trip, not too far from KL. If you are happy driving, consider doing it yourself. It's... More

It is alright except I am not sure about the safety features because you are travelling in a boat and it is pitch dark. I was told that there are crocodiles in the water..scary More

My family hired a rental car and drove from KL to Kuala Selangor. It was drizzling when we arrived at Kampung Kuantan but each of the row boats supplied umbrellas so this wasn't a problem. The boat costs 40 ringgit each and holds a max of 4 people. The fireflies themselves congregate around specific trees and look like Christmas LED... More

Our cousins from Australia/UK came down to Malaysia last week and we thought that Fireflies at Kampung Kuantan would be a good outing, even for locals like us. After checking the reviews (with a bit of fear of not seeing the fireflies), we arrived at Kampung Kuantan around 9.30 pm after the rain. With the moon shining, it was not... More

This was a very nice experience and the trip out was excellent. We had a very enthuastic guide who informed about the fire flies and made the whole grop feel very comfortable. We stayed out longer time then the other group so I think we were very lucky. The boat trip took a long time so I was almost thinking... More

It costs 200 ringitts per head for a trip from Kuala Lumpur to Selangor. We tranvelled during the first week of January. All the locals agree to the fact that the population of fire flies has significantly decreased. You still can expect to see about 50-100 at a point of time. You would be disappointed if you expect the entire... More

The best time to go is close to full moon when tides are higher. We were lucky and saw hundreds which made it worth the effort. More

It takes approximately 1.5 hours to drive from Kuala Lumpur to the Kampung Kuatan Firefly Park. The fireflies flash in the dark, so they must be seen at night. We arrived at the river just after dark, got into a rowing boat and a man rowed us along the Selangor River. Then we began to see the fireflies flashing. It... More

A silent electric boat glides smoothly across the Selangor River and as your eyes adjust to the darkness, these magnificent creatures suddenly appear out of the shadows. At first, we could only see a few, then it became hundreds, then there were thousands! Soon, we realised the trees across on the other bank were also blinking with fireflies. I was... More
