This 6- to 8-hour evening boat tour departs from Kuala Lumpur with hotel pickup within a 5km radius of KLCC. Travel by air-conditioned vehicle to Kuala Selangor, stopping at Sungai Buloh and the Sri Shakti Temple for photos. Around 5pm, reach Bukit Melawati, where visitors can walk or take a tram to see the fort ruins and lighthouse overlooking the Strait of Malacca. After passing Kuala Selangor Nature Park, the tour continues to the D’Tour Jetty to begin the main event: a 15- to 20-minute electric boat ride along the Selangor River to observe millions of fireflies lighting up the branches of mangrove trees. This natural display is best seen shortly after 8pm on a clear, moonless night. If D’Tour Jetty is unavailable, the nearby Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park jetty serves as an alternative. After the firefly cruise, the driver returns guests to their hotels in Kuala Lumpur, arriving around 9:30 to 10pm. The tour includes entrance fees, the boat ride, an English-speaking driver, and air-conditioned transport. Gratuities, dinner, and a tram ride are not included.
