We visited the firefly park as part of a tour with MM Adventure Travel. It is more than an hour's drive from KL at Kuala Selangor.
It was a magical experience - the fireflies were like living Christmas trees! The night we were there a thunderstorm was threatening so extra atmosphere from the Lightning all around, the silence of us in the electrically powered boat and then the chanting in the distance of the Call To Prayer from a nearby mosque. The 'resort' is not at all glamorous but we were safe and it was an experience we will never forget. Best done in small groups.

You can see many fireflies. They are living in the brushes alone the river side. There are many small boats send you to very close to them. The whole trip is about half hour, and 50RM per boat, which allow 4 adults sit in. Go there in a dark night without moon will make you experience memorable.
