Details
The Kampung Kuantan Firefly Park adventure began in the 1970s when a local entrepreneur foresaw the commercial potential of this magical event. The project was later entrusted to the Kuala Selangor District Council, who has continued its development to accommodate the increasing number of tourists.
Here, visitors get to enjoy a ride on a sampan (traditional, non-motorized wooden boat) along the great bends and curves of Selangor River to witness up-close the fireflies’ mesmerizing displays.
Travelling on a sampan enables you to get closer to the action and at the same time, helps reduce air, water and noise pollution, all of which may adversely affect the insects’ natural habitat.
Due to high demand especially during the holiday season, visitors are advised to make bookings in advance to avoid disappointment.

For maximum visibility, the best time to experience Kuala Selangor’s fireflies is slightly after 8.00pm on a clear, moonless night. Any later than that, and the fireflies may have found a mate, causing them to stop flashing.
What to bring – Sport shoes or shoes with rubber soles are recommended when visiting Kampung Kuantan. Also remember to pack plenty of mosquito repellent. Flash photography is strictly prohibited as this may disrupt and confuse the fireflies, who communicate by emitting lights from their abdomen.
