Tour info
Why take this tour?
Fireflies are lighting bugs and found in mangrove swamps. Kuala Selangor a fishing village has the largest colony of fireflies in the world. The fascinating fact about them is their synchronous flash is produced by a biochemical reaction in their light organs situated on their bottoms.
