#Firefly bubble trouble 2 driver#

An action packed 4 hours, with 2 hours of driving. We returned to the hotel around 10pm, after the 1 hour drive back from Kuala Selangor. This boat ride also lasted around 20 minutes. Afterwards, the boat sped up quickly and we all watched as the wake of the boat glowed and flashed brightly with the algae - a spectacular sight. Again photos weren't really possibly, but just seeing it with your own eyes was amazing. This made the algae light up and glow blue, flashing brightly at times! It really was such an amazing sight to see. We were all given little fishing nets on poles, which we used to agitate the water. This was possibly the highlight of the evening! The boat drove up the river a short distance and then slowed right down. We then stayed on the boat for the second part of the boat trip - to see the bio-luminescence. We drove slowly up one side of the river, and then back down the other side. We were unable to take any photos on our camera as they are so quick moving.

The fireflies were in the trees on the riverbanks, hundreds and thousands of them! Looking more like fairy lights twinkling in the branches then anything.

After a while we slowed down and the driver took us right up to the river bank. We then set off down the river at a brisk pace. There was no wait, possibly May had prebooked for us. We boarded a long boat with motor with several other tourists and were given life jackets. Then onto the highlights of the evening - the fireflies and then the bio-luminescence. Although May knew I couldn't eat seafood we still went to a seafood restaurant as located right next door the boat dock where we took our boat trip, but she was able to order a marmite style chicken I could eat with plain rice off the menu, which was quite tasty. A relaxed dinner by the river was detailed on our itinerary before the firefly experience by boat. We stopped for a soft drink (included) before driving onto the river. Some hilarious ones too as they jumped on our shoulders! lol Feeding the monkeys was an experience! be prepared for them to climb all over you as you start to feed them! we got some amazing photos. The monkeys liked the green leaves and bananas, but sweet potato seemed to be the favourite! the peanuts they would only eat after everything else had already been eaten. Locals are there with bags of locally grown vegetables for you to purchase at 10MYR per bag to feed the monkeys, which we highly recommend. Unlike the long-tailed macaques (gray fur) that can be quite aggressive and mischievous, the silver leaf monkeys (black fur) are actually really friendly and the babies, covered in orange fur, are super cute. Melawati Hill (Monkey Hill) is home to the silver leaf monkeys (black fur) who roam around this lighthouse viewpoint. We drove straight up and parked at the top of the hill. We then continued onto monkey feeding at Bukit Malawati. No photos allowed from inside the temple which is such a shame as it is really detailed and beautiful, although we took several from outside. The temple was lovely to see and May was able to share a lot of interesting information. We visited this Rotan Hindu Temple for 30 minutes or so, as enroute. May picked us up from our hotel at 4pm, then a 1 hour drive to Bukit Sri Shakti. We booked a private tour direct with May from Jalan with M.K. We managed to see it glow dimly, was not able to take any photos though, we had a great time and it was educational too. If it's concentrated, we may see a bright and vivid blue light over the water surface when the boat or anything disturb it.

It rained in the morning, so the guide told us we weren't seeing many. You can only see with your naked eyes, unique experience. We saw blue light, it's the bioluminescent algae.

We were asked to move the net around in the water. This time we were given a tiny net attached to a long pole.

We saw so many fireflies mating in the bushes at night, they were like Christmas lights, lit up the trees in the dark by the river. Please do remember to apply your mosquito repellent beforehand, they do sell it on the boat too. We gathered back at the jetty around 7pm, boarded the boat and headed out again. He dropped us back at jetty and we went for dinner. Everyone put on their life jackets and we headed out on a boat to see the captain feed the eagles in the evening. We just need to collect tickets once at the counter and get ready at the jetty around 5pm. My tour provider was D Tours Kuala Selangor.
