and the Blue Tears in Kuala Selangor

Travel out of the city to Kuala Selangor in an air-conditioned vehicle. An English-speaking guide accompanies you, and an English audio guide is available if you wish. The tour lasts about 8 hours, covering history, wildlife encounters, a fishing village dinner and a firefly boat ride.

Explore Kota Melawati fort and meet silvered leaf monkeys

Your first stop is the historic fort of Kota Melawati. See the old execution block, royal mausoleums and colonial-era buildings while hearing stories about the area. On weekdays the visit is a walking tour; on weekends it is done by tram.

You will also meet the silvered leaf monkeys and macaques that call this area home, and you can feed them up close.

Have a seafood dinner in a traditional fishing village

During the tour, you stop at a traditional fishing village for a seafood dinner. A set dinner is included; drinks must be ordered separately.

Look for fireflies and the Blue Tears by boat

Around dusk, board a boat and glide along the riverbank to see fireflies glowing throughout the mangroves. The boat ticket is included.

At night, search for the Blue Tears, a bioluminescent phenomenon that makes the water glow blue. Local legend says they are the tears of the Sea Dragon King.

※ Fireflies and the Blue Tears are natural phenomena, so sightings are not guaranteed. The Blue Tears depend on water quality, phytoplankton density, weather and light pollution.
※ The order of activities may change depending on weather and local conditions.
