Blue Tears Tour
This was such a great experience!!! We had a great time and I would highly recommend. Dinesh was a great guide and extremely engaging!!!
via Tripadvisor
Nice tour with a professional guide
We enjoyed the tour, although we couldn't see the blue tears well due to the nature.This was solved by scoping in the water, so we do saw a little bit of the blue tears. It would be nice if all tour members sit together for dinner. A way to get to know eachother. Our driver and guide Dinesh was very professional and explained the highlights very well.

Excellent trip! Well worth the money and time out of the city
This was a brilliant afternoon and evening. Each part was great. Meeting the monkeys was brilliant. Dinner was delicious in a gorgeous restaurant, sunset and we saw huge monitor lizards. The fireflies were beautiful and we saw the blue tears glowing. Alvin was a great guide, fun and relaxed. It was good to end at the Petronas towers at night too. Lovely!

Great experience
My first evening in KL yesterday was nothing short of magical, and it was all thanks to our incredible guide, Dinesh! The fireflies and the glowing blue tears were interesting to witness in person. However, the absolute highlight of the trip was feeding the monkeys—an unforgettable experience that Dinesh made so seamless and fun. His enthusiastic energy, local knowledge, and attentiveness made the entire evening perfect. I highly recommend this tour and Dinesh to anyone visiting!

Monkeys, fireflies & blue tears
This was a great tour, a real highlight of our time in Malaysia. The monkeys are very sweet & much friendlier than the ones at Batu caves. It was very interesting to see the fireflies but the highlight would have to be the phytoplankton. We didn’t have high hopes to see them but they were very clear. Our driver, Vijay, was lovely. Would recommend this tour for anyone coming to Malaysia.

Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Kuala Lumpur.
How much does Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $71 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 Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 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 Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 24 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 Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood 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 Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood Dinner?
+
Around 8 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 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Shared Fireflies Tour with Blue Tears and Seafood 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 Genting Highland & Batu Cave Guided Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour), Kuala Lumpur Grand Full Day Guided Tour with 25 Attractions (SIC), Kuala Lumpur Suburbs Batu Caves Half-Day Tour (SIC/Shared Tour). 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.

Not included: Personal Expenses; Travel Insurance; Gratuities; and Hotel drop off. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
