Kuala Selangor Fireflies, Selangor

Kuala Selangor Fireflies is a local tourist attraction in Selangor. The two places where you can view the fireflies are Kampung Kuantan (GPS: 3.36212, 101.30158) and Kampung Bukit Belimbing (GPS: 3.38638, 101.27857), both riverine villages beside Sungai Selangor in the Kuala Selangor district.

Nocturnal boat rides, usually conducted at dusk, take visitors into the meandering river to view the fireflies, or kelip-kelip in Malay.

You can book your boat ride directly at the entrance of the Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park. The best time to reach the park is by around 6:30 pm, to be ready for the ride by 7:30 pm.

The best times to go are dry moonless nights. Wet weather tend to reduce the number of fireflies. Having said that, the firefly density of Kuala Selangor has dwindled, due in part of overall development as well as to chemical contamination of the mangrove.

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While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware.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.
