There's not much to see nearby, so ensure that you are really keen to see it. The tours don't start until the sun is fully down, so it may even start at 8pm even when they say 7pm. Do put on insect repellent, lots of it. Don't bother taking photos as it's too dark anyway. Just enjoy the ride and be mesmerized about the butt lighting up !

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.
