Magical Kuala Selangor: Fireflies & Bioluminescent Tears

The Sri Shakti Temple was delightful and memorable. Feeding the silver leafed monkeys was a highlight, the animals are very gentle and friendly, we could feed them bananas and green beans, available from a local stall. Plenty of time for it. A lovely experience. Lunch was available from a Thai Restaurant on the riverside. For vegetarians the in Tofu fried mixed vegetables was nice. The river tour on the Selangor river was a relaxing experience, fireflies and blue tears were amazing. We were well looked after, swimvests were handed ahead of getting on the boat. Our friendly guide looked well after us and knew the area well. Glad I went.

Really enjoyed it! Thank you very much! Price wise was worth it. As it was a private tour. The tour guide was super friendly and introduced us to the places

Really good tour guide who pointed out little local points of interest. Adequate time at temple and fort to have a look, take pictures and interact with monkey's. Had food at the Thai restaurant on the waterfront, cheap even with a couple of beers. Blue algae is very visible but unfortunately the fireflies are hard to capture a good picture off. Just enjoy the sights. Traffic from KL centre is a bit of a chore on week nights.

This was a 6 hour trip but we spent 5 minutes watching the fireflies and 5 minutes with the bioluminescence. We were dropped off over an hour before the experience and told we should pay for another time to fill the time. Fireflies were amazing, but the tour was not worth the price and time

I’m still thinking how the water lights when you move it with a net! They call it Blue Tears. It’s a unique experience that you don’t get in other places. Afterwards, the seafood dinner was super tasty and cheap. The tour guide Guna was great and very helpful.

This trip was incredible - the temple was beautiful, great views at the fort despite a downpour of rain, the monkeys were a highlight of the trip, then watching eagles, fireflies and the blue tears. It only got better. It really felt like a magical experience. Our driver was brilliant.

Many things in one trip. Driver good. Sad though that you don’t get any explanation or information on the boat trips about the eagles, fireflies etc - just viewing without any commentary so is beautiful but you don’t learn anything.

Watching hundreds of fireflies flicker in the mangroves and glimpsing the glowing Blue Tears was truly unforgettable. The optional eagle-watching was a great bonus, and the separate stop at the Hindu temple and the monkey place made the journey more enjoyable and helped time pass quickly. Our guide was friendly and informative, making the whole experience smooth and memorable.

Don’t set your expectations too high but it’s still a great experience and we don’t regret to have booked it. Actually we have enjoyed the interactions with the monkeys and the visit at the temple more than the firefly and blue tears boat trip. And a special thanks to our driver LG who has given his best to explain us every details and guide us through the trip.

One of the best tours ever! LG was. Great guide and driver. He took excellent care of us. The silver leaf monkey kiss and the bioluminescent plankton was the best. And the recommended stop for dinner at a Thai restaurant was perfect.
