Leave Kuala Lumpur around 3:30pm with an English-speaking driver-guide for Bukit Melawati, Sri Shakti Temple, a fishing village, and a quiet evening boat ride among Kuala Selangor’s fireflies. Guides such as Rajan and Bala are praised for adding useful local detail, but the quality of commentary can vary.

“The fireflies were extremely over hyped. It was a long boat 'race' with lots of others getting to the river bank sites. The firefly lights were in the trees amongst the leaves, and were small and not too dense. About ten minutes searching and looking and that was it.

You got no information about the places that you visited. I had to google them when I am back home.”
