Kota Tinggi Firefly Park

Kota Tinggi Firefly Park (13 September, 2016)




Kota Tinggi Firefly Park (GPS: 1.72591, 103.91191) is a place to take recreational cruises in Kota Tinggi, Johor. It is located by the banks of Sungai Johor, off Jalan Kota Tinggi (Federal Route 3). This place only comes alive towards the evening, when you can buy tickets to board the river cruise to view fireflies. As the mangrove area along the river is a protected area, the fireflies have been able to breed and thrive without being harmed by development.

The jetty to take the rivercruise is in an open area. There is a seafood restaurant next to it called Wan Jia Xiang Restaurant. When I passed by the area on the way to Kota Tinggi town, the place was deserted, as I arrived there in the morning. To take the cruise, you have to go in the evening, when the fireflies come out.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
