2) Mesmerising Fireflies
A trip to Kuala Selangor without stopping by at Kampung Kuantan to watch fireflies
will not be complete. The village is situated about 56 km from Kuala Lumpur. It is one
of the most well-known firefly-watching spots in Selangor. You can ride on the
traditional sampan accommodating maximum four people to see the lightning bugs!

Besides, replanting Berembang trees would help supporting the efforts to conserve
fireflies’ habitats so that our future generations stand a chance to admire these
beauties. Apart from that, Bukit Belimbing which is also located in Kuala Selangor is
another firefly paradise along the Selangor River. It is an enchanting experience to
ride a boat during the evening and witness the beauty of the fireflies. It is very
important to create awareness on conserving Berembang trees for the fireflies to
breed and to help maintain the cleanliness of the river.
