Your first stop in Kuala Selangor would be at Bukit Melawati. This diminutive summit was formerly a formidable stronghold constructed to protect the nation. The Altingburg Lighthouse remains the primary point of interest, offering a magnificent view of the Straits of Malacca. Additionally, you will have the opportunity to encounter the distinct Silver Leaf Monkeys. The infant primates are first born with a golden hue, which gradually transitions to the same black shade as the mature individuals. Our driver-guide will direct you to selected feeding sites, where you can engage with these lively creatures. Upon concluding your excursion to Melawati Hill, you will be indulged in a delectable seafood set dinner accompanied by Chinese tea.
After you’ve enjoyed your seafood dinner, you will be brought to Kuala Selangor Firefly Park to witness the fireflies. The boats are outfitted with silent electric motors in order to prevent any disruption to the fireflies. The tour guides tourists through the mangrove forest, providing them with the opportunity to observe the stunning spectacle of fireflies lighting up the trees, resembling sparkling Christmas lights. Subsequently, you will advance to the Blue Tears encounter. Blue tears, or bioluminescent plankton, are a natural occurrence in which specific forms of phytoplankton generate a blue glow when they are agitated.

After the captivating boat ride witnessing fireflies and blue tears, you get back into your vehicle to return back to your hotel in Kuala Lumpur, where our driver-guide will bid you farewell, marking the conclusion of your amazing Elephant Sanctuary & Fireflies Combo Tour.
