Kampung Kuantan Fireflies Park, Selangor


image

One of the state?s best-kept secrets, the fireflies colonies at Kampung Kuantan and Kampung Bukit Belimbing are a rare natural phenomena. These tiny insects live on berembang (Sonneratia caseolaris) trees that grow in the brackish waters. Enjoy a boat ride along the river to watch this enchanting display. Accommodation is available at Kampung Bukit Belimbing. Prior arrangements can be made through tour operators. 

Being an agricultural village located less than 10 kilometers from Kuala Selangor town, Kampung Kuantan is famous for none other than its fireflies! Some may not even know of the existence of fireflies and ask about these fireflies that we speak of. The fireflies, also known as kelip-kelip in the Malay language, is a rare sight as development has caught up to them, but fear not, as first-timers would still be mesmerized as the male fireflies flash their bulbs in unison to attract the female kind! Kampung Kuantan is well known for its Fireflies. Lots of the fireflies nest only available here. Moreover, there has been opinion that magical fireflies are only available at 2 places in the world and one of it is in Kampung Kuantan.

The adventure of the fireflies' area began in the early 1970 by a local businessman that saw the commercial potential of this miracle. Now, the adventure has been entrusted to the Kuala Selangor District Council and has expanded rapidly with the addition of 27 small boats that are provided for the visitors. A sampan could be rented and a boatman would be there to guide tourists through the river, bringing them to areas that have the most fireflies in order for them to have the best sight of this natural beauty.

It is prohibited for tourists to bring cameras with flashbulbs as it would disrupt the fireflies and their way of nature. So, tourists are advised to bring a night vision camera if they wish to capture the moments. In additional to that, visitors that fell in love with the village life of Kampung Kuantan can book a chalet for the night and hear the sounds of nature such as crickets chirping away and feel the night breeze.
