About this experience
Kuala Selangor Firefly en-route Batu Caves Temple & Malawati Hill Day Tour is an exciting excursion to one of the biggest firefly colonies in the world. Fireflies locally-known as ‘kelip kelip’, perhaps Kuala Selangor’s biggest attraction. Admire the beautiful display of nature in awed silence, with the swishing sound of the water gently lapping against the sides of the boat breaking the silence. The experience is surreal to say the least; it simply has to be seen to be believed. As an added value, Kuala Selangor Firefly Tour includes en-route stop at Batu Caves Temple and Malawati Hill.

Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park
Our Kuala Selangor Firefly en-route Batu Caves Temple & Malawati Hill Day Tour is uniquely and carefully designed to be a perfect excursion for tourist especially for those visiting the city for first time with an expectation to experience the countryside and nature within a day. Our experienced chauffeur/guide will meet and greet you at the agreed time and location (Evening tour: 14:00Hrs). Enjoy and travel in comfort with air-conditioned vehicle. Tour starts with approximate 20-minutes’ drive to Batu Caves Temple from the city center. Batu Caves is an iconic and popular tourist attraction located just 13km north of Kuala Lumpur, site of a Hindu temple and shrine. Batu Caves has three main caves featuring temples and Hindu shrines. Its main attraction is the statue of Lord Murugan standing at 42.7 m (140 ft) high, the world's tallest statue of Murugan. The main temple was located inside the cave and to reach it, visitors must climb a steep flight of 272 steps. Proceed to next destination with approximate 1 hour drive to reach Melawati Hill. Melawati Hill is a beautiful area with numerous attractions. The hill is also an important historical site that offers interesting insights into Selangor’s fascinating history. One of the main attractions of Bukit Melawati is the presence of silvered leaf monkeys and long-tailed macaques, which are provisioned by tourists. The silvered leaf monkeys at Bukit Malawati are habituated to humans and sometimes willingly touch and climb on visitors approaching for food. Attractions also include a tram ride, a royal mausoleum and a museum. Continue your journey to Pasir Penambang Seafood Restaurant. Sit down for a delicious served dinner; enjoy your meal with wonderful sunset views over the Selangor River. Vegetarian and chicken options are available in addition to the seafood specialties. By 19:45Hrs, proceed to firefly Park jetty to board the boat. The trees along the riverbanks which can only see the silhouettes of in the dark on both sides are filled with thousands upon thousands of twinkling fireflies like stars in the night. When they say that these fireflies make the trees look like Christmas trees, they aren’t kidding; why, at this moment it feels as if Christmas has come early!, Admire the beautiful display of nature in awed silence, with the swishing sound of the water gently lapping against the sides of the boat breaking the silence. The experience is surreal to say the least; it simply has to be seen to be believed. Transfer back to Kuala Lumpur.

Great trip. Fireflies just ok
The visit was great. For my daughter it was the best part of the trip. However the best parts were not the fireflies. Batu caves are amazing, interacting with the silverleaf monkeys and the food were amazing. The fireflies did not seem much more that what you would see in rural Maryland.
Response from the operator: Thank You very much for taking the precious time to give us this wonderful review.

Not so good experience
I was expecting a group Tour, but it was a private Tour. The tabaco smell in the car for me is a no-no. I was also expecting a Guide, but it was more of a Driver. Good Driver, polite, but with no knowledge about the Tour and a less than basic English… we were lost in translation during six hours.
Response from the operator: Hi, Dear Sir/Madam We thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We takes all feedback seriously and trying to provide the best experiences to our customers. We are saddened to hear that your expectations were not met. We will use this feedback in an effort to improve our experience. Kind Regards,

Tour guide wonderful; monkeys not so much
Tour guide Helmi was fantastic. I thoroughly enjoyed spending the day with him. Only downside: I got scratched by an aggressive macaque at the Batu Caves and had to visit the ER the following morning for a rabies shot! Watch out for the crazy monkeys!
Response from the operator: Thank You very much for your precious time taken to give us this wonderful review.

only worth approx £30 each not £75 that we paid
we were take to the Batu caves where the driver couldnt park so we had to get out & walk, then try & find him later, also he said we only had 40 minutes at the caves so were very rushed, we could have done with 90 minutes there, then later in the day we had almost 2 hours to have dinner ( which was a very poor standard)
Response from the operator: Thank You very much for your precious time taken to give us this review kindly please take note that the batu caves temple in this tour is just an enroute which means its just a 30 mins photo stop before heading to a state called kuala selangor which is approximately 70+ kilometers might be 4 to 5 hours if its heavily traffic. if our driver was early then it means its clear on term of traffic on that particular day.And in term of food we take our guests to the local kuala selangor seafood quisine provided restaurant.Please understand that all our previous guests were had the same facilities.We appriciate ur time taken for this review.pls revert the details of the vehicle,date u've travelled,driver details through messanger for us to look forward,Thanks

Why this scores 50
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kuala Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Kuala Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $199 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 Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 28 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 Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner?
+
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 Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kuala Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner?
+
Around 10 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kuala Selangor Fireflies - Batu Caves Temple- Malawati Hill DayTour With Dinner 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.
