Kuala Selangor Fireflies & Blue Tears Tour from Kuala Lumpur - Including Melawati Hill

Leave Kuala Lumpur
for an evening in Kuala Selangor

From your hotel or a designated pickup point in central Kuala Lumpur, travel about 1 hour to Kuala Selangor in an air-conditioned vehicle. An English-speaking driver accompanies you as you visit a temple, a hill and a firefly park from evening into the night.

Explore Sri Shakti Dhevasthanam Temple

Sri Shakti Dhevasthanam in Bukit Rotan is a South Indian temple known for its striking architecture and 51 statues of the goddess Shakti carved into its granite walls. Listen to the explanations, take photos and look around at your own pace. If you choose the eagle feeding option, an eagle feeding experience is added to the tour.

See coastal views and historic ruins at Melawati Hill

Melawati Hill is a historic hill with the Altingsburg Lighthouse and old Dutch fort ruins. Learn about the area's history while taking in open coastal views, and meet the silvered leaf monkeys that live on the hill.

Watch fireflies and blue tears from a boat

At night, head to Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park and glide along the river by boat. Watch countless fireflies lighting up the mangrove trees, and depending on weather and water conditions, you may also see the blue tears phenomenon that makes the river glow blue. After the tour, drive about 1 hour back to Kuala Lumpur.

※ Fireflies and blue tears are natural phenomena and sightings are not guaranteed; they depend on tides, time and weather.
※ The main hall of Sri Shakti Dhevasthanam is closed for restoration, so photos can only be taken from outside.
