  A very well-organised, fantastic tour. Though the journey to Kuala Selangor is long, it was broken up very well by a bathroom break (take your own toilet tissue!), a trip to a stunning Hindu temple in a rural area, and Bukit Melawati, filled with adorable silver leaf monkeys. Each section of the tour gave us enough time to enjoy ourselves, and our guide, LG, made sure everything ran smoothly, gave us information about the places we were visiting, and all the necessary etiquette and safety information too. The temple was well-worth a visit, an incredible feat of artistry, and we even got to see a prayer session. The monkeys were fantastic, really sweet and gentle and they looked clean (got no flea bites so I'd say that's a win!!) Just make sure to stand a bit away if you don't want them to climb on you, as my boyfriend was up close filming me with a monkey and he got an unexpected friend on his shoulder! The Malacca Strait is also visible from Bukit Melawati and is a stunning view of one of the most important shipping lanes in the world. Finally, though we didn't go to a restaurant in the fishing village, there are plenty to choose from. It's primarily inhabited by Chinese people and thus Chinese cuisine, and there is one Thai restaurant too. They have seafood and chicken in the village. The fireflies are included in the price but it's RM 50 per person extra for the blue tears. We didn't go for the blue tears but the fireflies were stunning. I recommend going on a still, calm night or the boat ride might get a bit exciting. You travel up the river 3km in a motorboat (life jackets are given) and then drift right next to the mangrove bushes to see hundreds of blinking lights amongst them. We went on a moonless night which is why we saw so many, also be aware that they have mating seasons so go at a time of year when this will be happening. Otherwise you may not get to see that much. The boat driver catches some in a net and lets them fly around in the boat, and even puts them on people's hands. He more... Wiped one on my hand, and it died as a result. I wish he didn't take them from the bushes like this and just left them alone, there's no need for us to interfere with their lives. This was kind of a one-off bit of luck, but we also got to see a fantastic Chinese parade go through the village celebrating their temple turning 100 years old, thank you LG for letting us stay a bit longer to see it! Lastly, it's worth being aware that whilst the minivan has seatbelts, they were jammed and not usable. Hopefully these will be unjammed promptly for the safety of future tourists.

  This was a great time! We got to see monkeys up close and the fireflies were very visible. Although the dinner is not included in the price, we still stopped at the seafood village near the water and had about an hour to buy dinner at our own expense (definitely recommend the Chinese seafood place!). I Wouldn’t recommend the blue plankton as they weren’t visible at all and definitely wouldn’t recommend if you have back problems as the boat ride can be very bumpy. But overall great tour! 10/10

  This was such a good activity in Kuala Lumpur. It was nice to get out of the city and see some nature. The highlight was seeing all of the monkeys, by the fireflies and boat ride were of course wonderful, as well. The fishing village was also really neat. Highly recommend while in Kuala Lumpur

  The tour was well organized and comfortable. LG, the guide/driver was fantastic and highly recommend him. The tour itself is okay. The firefly was not as exciting as we thought. But the monkey park as fun. Good interaction with the monkeys. We did an addin ‘Blue Tears’ package at the last minute and that was worth the price. Overall recommend the tour.
