— What You Can Expect —

Start your day by taking a speedboat about 20 minutes up river, where the vessel’s engines are switched off to avoid scaring off the eagles. Your boatman will throw bait—in the form of chicken skin—into the river for the eagles to snap up.

Moments later, watch as around 30 to 40 eagles surround the area, swooping in fast towards the river with great precision for the food.

Add an unforgettable sight to your Malaysia holiday when you embark on the firefly cruise afterwards. For maximum visibility, the best time to experience Kuala Selangor’s fireflies is slightly after 8:00 pm on a clear, moonless night. Any later than that, and the fireflies may have found a mate, causing them to stop flashing.

See these tiny insects congregate on berembang trees (Sonneratia caseolaris), a type of mangrove tree that grows naturally in the brackish waters along Selangor River’s banks. The best way to enjoy this wondrous spectacle of nature is by traveling along the river in a traditional sampan or an electrically-powered fiberglass boat that helps reduce air, water, and noise pollution and protect the fireflies’ natural habitat.

End the your day of adventure by seeing amazing bioluminescent displays after sunset. See the Blue Tears, blue-green algae, illuminate the waters where the river meets the sea.

Spend a wonderful day witnessing the marvels of nature in Kuala Selangor!
