Bukit Malawati & Firefly Resort


Yesterday, I took a tour to Bukit Malawati to see the Firefly park. It was RM 180 per person. I book it from the backpacker Malaysia, or Red Palm.
I was asked to come to their location, in Tengkat Tong Shin road, and luckily, the taxi driver knows the way around it and luckily I also stayed in Swiss Garden before so I knew the area. It was a house with no sign of tour at all. So I arrive there at around 4.15 pm, and 15 minutes later, as scheduled, the tour driver arrives. We first pick up other guests, which stays at My Hotel, just behind the Red Palm house.
It was only 3 of us, so it feels like a private tour. We rode on a nice car, I think it feels like a Innova Toyota car. The other 2 guests, I know the name from one of them, is Grace. They are couple and come from Shanghai.
The tour driver are very friendly and apparently is very smart, knows almost about everything. He is also Chinese but speaks very good English. He's from Reggae Tours and Travel. Office is very near to Masjid Jamek LRT station.
We left KL at 4.30 pm, and reach Kuala Selangor at about 5 pm. We went to Bukit Malawati first, seeing the view and the monkeys. I'm a bit afraid to the monkeys actually, but hey, I'm here, so why not just ignore them and take pictures. From the Bukit Malawati, you can see the view down to the sea. It was cloudy.
And there are a lot of monkeys. According to the driver, the brown monkey is the bad one, and the black monkey is the calmer one. You look at this monkey, he was actually coughing, choking because of food. It was funny.
And this is the black one.
We didnt spend very long time there seeing the monkeys. Right after that, we went to the Firefly Park Resort, have seafood dinner and ride the boat to see the firefly.
We wait quite long to be seated to the seafood dinner. While waiting, the guide took a number for the boat ride. It was 7.30 pm when the dinner was served, and about 8 pm when we went to the dock. At the dock, we dont wait long, because there was 5 vacant seat and we can be inserted in the group.
It was raining and the firefly didnt fly, it was dark and apparently, I couldnt take picture. You could imagine a christmas tree, that's how it looks like.
