  • Here’s what’s in store for your full-day tour of Kuala Lumpur City, Batu Caves, and fireflies watching during a boat ride on a private tour.

    Getting started

    You'll be picked up from your hotel in an AC car and taken to Batu Caves.

    What to expect

    • Batu Caves: home to Malaysia’s most visited Hindu shrine, built in honor of Shiva’s son, Lord Murugan. The caves are known for their limestone rocks, which are over 400 million years old. The temple's crowning glory is the 140-foot-tall Murugan Statue, the largest statue of a deity in the world.

    • Istana Negara: This grand palace serves as the official residence of the King of Malaysia. Visitors can admire the imposing golden domes, majestic gates, and royal guards stationed at the entrance.

    • Next visit the National Mosque, a stunning symbol of Malaysia's Islamic heritage, and see the historic Kuala Lumpur Railway Station that dates back to 1886.

    • Stop by Merdeka Square, known as Independence Square, this is where Malaysia declared independence from British rule on August 31, 1957.

    • Take a pit stop at River of Life, a beautifully revitalized waterfront, perfect for a scenic walk along the river.

    • The journey continues to the KL Tower and then the Golden Triangle, the commercial heart of Kuala Lumpur. Stop at the iconic Petronas Twin Towers for more photo opportunities.

    • Firefly watching: Sail down Kuala Selangor and witness the idyllic Malay village and savor an authentic seafood dinner before heading to the firefly site. As night falls, be prepared to be mesmerized by the largest colony of fireflies in the world, glistening amidst the mangrove forest's night sky.

    Wrapping up

    After an enriching exploration of Malaysia's best attractions, relax as you’re driven back to your hotel.
