Rain did not stop me and it was great!
Even though it was pouring at pick up time at my hotel, I am glad that I did the tour. The destination was so far out of town that it cleared. Onthe way we stopped tosee Silver leaf .o keys by the lighthouse and the 7 Sisters Temple. The water is beautiful and the boat ride exhilarating to the Island to see the fireflies. Then on to see the luminescent Blue Tears in the water. My guide waspositive, pleasant and talkative which I appreciated greatly. He also helped me take photos of myself along the way. Great time.

Our driver Faizi picked us up right on time for a very enjoyable afternoon and evening. Our first stop was the stunning Hindu Temple Sri Shakti, followed by a tram ride up Melawatil Hill to see the Lighthouse and many tame monkeys being fed by the tourists. Disappointed by the amount of trash thrown on the ground by said tourists. On to the Kinaree Thai Restaurant for a delicious and abundant seafood dinner. Finally the boat ride to see the fireflies sparkle in the dark. The best part was our driver Faizi who was so knowledgeable and very entertaining.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kuala Selangor Fireflies Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Kuala Selangor Fireflies Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride cost?
+
Prices start at $70 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 Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride 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 Selangor Fireflies Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride?
+
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 Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride 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 Selangor Fireflies Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride?
+
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 Selangor Fireflies Tour with Scenic Views & Boat Ride 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.
