Book different Tour
Nothing like the photos. Something you can see in the summer anywhere. A lot of wasted time as well. Boat ride was only like 20 minutes but most enjoyable part. Not worth it, book a different tour. Everyone was nice though.

Your comments are valuable to us, and we will use them to make necessary improvements. We're glad to hear that everyone involved was nice and courteous, even though the experience didn't fully meet your expectations.

Nice day out
Harry, the driver was very friendly. There was a bit of confusion with the itinirary initially, he didn't know the caves and a few other things were included until I read out the itinerary to him. As I was only one person he was accommodating. He even offered to return an item I left in his car, but never did, but kept sending me messages. A lot more pricey than advertised though, it was a special of AU$82 when I booked but final price came out to be double that. Kept going back to check if the currency was right (and not US$) but it seemed to be. The boat ride to see the fireflies was just that, a boat ride. Unfortunately there was no information given while on the boat, regarding the fireflies and why so many are in that particular area, or if there is a season for them, nothing. So that was a bit disappointing and like all things, nothing like what is advertised.
Response from the operator: Thank you for posting a review and we’re sorry to hear that your experience was not of the quality you expected. Thank you for letting us know know about this. Your feedback helps us get better. We are looking into this issue and hope to resolve it promptly and accurately. Regards.

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $34 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Kuala Lumpur usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Kuala Lumpur is not rushed.
Is Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Kuala Lumpur, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Kuala Lumpur can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Kuala Lumpur and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kuala Lumpur to Kuala Selangor Magical Fireflies Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Kuala Lumpur within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Kuala Lumpur?
+
On Outty we rank every Kuala Lumpur experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sambal Streets Kuala Lumpur Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Private Half-Day Batu Caves and Cutural Tour in Kuala Lumpur. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Kuala Lumpur?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Kuala Lumpur?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
