Trip to Bukit Belimbing Firefly Park Resort, Kuala Selangor

Saturday night was a very interesting night for me, as it was my first time to witness the beautiful and amazing Firefly Park in Kuala Selangor.

We started off the journey at 4pm from PJ. It took us approximately 1 hour to reach Bukit Belimbing. You’d be able to see a lot of palm tree fields along the way. Just follow the Kuala Selangor road sign will do.

There are 2 firefly parks, one of them is at Bukit Belimbing, and the other one is at Kg Kuantan. And we’ve decided to go for the one in Bukit Belimbing, named as Firefly Park Resort.

Ticket Counter

You'll have to purchase the boat trip tickets from the Ticket Counter. The boat trip (which could fit in 15 persons per boat) took us to the swamp, and there was where the amazing journey started. But too bad that we were not allowed to take photo during the boat trip. sad....

Along the swamp, we could see thousands of fireflies stopping at the “berembang” trees and blinking at each other. The lights are small yet bright. Sometimes it looked almost like a Christmas tree, and sometimes it was just like the stars blinking in the sky ( and I started singing “Starry Starry night, paint your palette blue and grey ~~~” :P).

In the middle of the boat trip, we tried to ask for the permission to take photo on the fireflies, and the captain said can, but without flash.. I was so excited and took out the camera and took a snap on the natural Christmas trees. But.. my screen returned blank because of the darkness of the night.

So, I am sorry to not able to provide photos of the beautiful and amazing Firefly Park. No choice loo, you all need to go and witness yourselves.

The boat trip lasted not more than half and hour, but it was really value for money.

Some details of the park:

Boat Fare : RM 10 per person

Service Hours : 7.45pm – 10.30pm (everyday including public holidays)

Personal advise : Don’t fill your stomach at Firefly Park Seafood Restaurant. The food is ok but the service is really bad. When we had our seafood dinner there, the so called air-conditionered restaurant’s air –con was spoiled and the staffs never got us a fan or provide us with any other solutions. We were sweating all the while during dinner.
