Just outside Kuala Selangor town is the quiet hamlet of
Kampung Kuantan, this site being one of the largest firefly
colonies in the world. The magical display of lights is
in fact a mating ritual, as male fireflies light up to signal
their desire for mates - and willing females attract the
males with flashes of their own. The nocturnal tours are
extremely popular, where visitors will be taken on a boatride
along the Selangor River where the fireflies inhibit the
branches of the "berembang" trees along the river bank.
Boats can be hired at the jetty and handicraft complex.
Lifejackets are provided, and the skilled local oars men
make this experience a memorable and unforgettable one.
Accommodation can be easily obtained, complete with all
the necessary amenities.
