From booking via Facebook to being warmly greeted, to the fabulous gentle boat trip, everything was excellent. An abundance of fireflies. Some trees were so full of them, to a British Expat it reminded me of a winter wonderland. So many twinkling lights in the trees.
The boat captain even knows where the monitor lizard sleeps and pointed it out.
I cannot recommend highly enough how much you should see this attraction and support the family that offers it.

A boat ride and a tour to observe fireflies along the river. Fireflies aren't flying everywhere like in the movies, but you can still see a beautiful scene.
There is also a restaurant nearby, so dinner is easy.
However, I rented a car so it was easy to access, but I don't know if it is accessible because it is far from JB.

Amazing experience. The boat brought us up Sungei Johor, it was beautiful and tranquil. When we saw the fireflies on the trees along the river, it was worth the trip. They looked like flickering lights on the trees and a few of them flew towards us. The trip took about 40mins, adult RM$20, child RM$12. Best to visit between 8pm - 10pm.

The whole experience was so different and very calming. You get to experience the darkness and stillness of night which we usually miss out in our daily lives full of hustle bustle. When the boat enters the calm waters and in the silence you see so many fireflies flickering, it is an amazing sight. They ask you to not use flash or phone light. The driver patiently stops and lets you enjoy the sight. Trip takes around 40 minutes and costs RM 20 per person (they only accept cash). If you are going on a non peak day, it would be better to call in advance and book or else they might not have staff available for boat ride. It is great activity for kids as well, as you get to see the magical flies up close. Best to visit after 8. They also have a small store next to ticket counter, where you can buy some local handmade stuff.

Whole experience was fantastic! From transport pick up --> meet & greet by staffs upon arrival at firefly park --> keeping us occupied with the love lock and helped with photographs taking before the cruise as we reached early --> wrapped up with Sky Lantern!
Cruise tickets can be reserved and transportation can be arranged in advance [if needed] through whatsapp or Facebook messenger.
Car driver's service was good and journey was smooth and pleasant. Driver was very patient and shared places of interest with us. He even sent us to our dinner place after the firefly cruise, and willing to wait for us before sending us back to hotel.
Staffs at firefly park were great - friendly staffs and warm welcome from them. Helped with photo taking too.
Overall, very happy and satisfied with my maiden firefly cruise =)

Ask your Resort in Desaru to organize this trip for you, and you won't be disappointed. It was quite an experience to start at 8 pm from the hotel (in our case- Lotus Desaru Beach Resort), take a 45 min drive in a mini-bus and reach this place on a highway..
This is a ferry ride that lasts about 40 mins, where they take you into a very dark area with trees on either side, and all trees glowing with millions of fireflies! This place glows in pin drop silence, an experience you would not want to miss!!

This is something that I was really looking for, for the 7 kids that were on this trip with us. Out of gadget, relaxing, mesmerizing and an unforgettable learning journey. We chose the 7:30PM trip as advised. Be early as you get on the boat following a first come first serve numbering system. Although the admin was single handedly mend by just 1 person, we managed to all get on the boat on time. The kids (plus the mothers) were amazed by twinkling fireflies. The breeze was so fresh and we managed to see thousands of fireflies within our 45mins journey. We ended the trip with wishing lanterns. WonderFUN wrap! PS: Just an advice to give the boat a fresh coat of paint as it is looking very tired. :)

I have never seen so many fireflies..There were pretty small but everywhere.
The boatman was nice to stop by the trees that have more fireflies than others and caught a few for us to have closer look at them but they all flew away pretty quickly....
I did feel uneasy when the boatman kept checking on the engine though...
We took a Grab from Komtar and even though we hit the rush hours, it didn’t feel that far.
Thumb up for nature lovers...

hi - may i get the contact of the lady you whatsapped to reserve the tickets? did you have to pay upfront or on the spot? thanks in advance!!

Hi ruixing,
I whatsapped a lady named Michelle at 60-17-4607775. I had a couple of other questions to ask, and just made reservations at the same time, b’coz I read somewhere (think it was the FB pg) that you could do that. But maybe not necessary, we still bought and paid for our tickets upon arrival. Maybe they just want to know roughly how many people to expect on their boats. Enjoy ur trip!

Hello all...! I’m thinking of driving my kids to visit the KT firefly park. Never been there and unsure if the road leading in is a proper paved road or track? Is it safe? Is it far from the main road? Bit concerned in case we get a flat tyre or something.... Appreciate any information, thank you!
Written March 16, 2019
It’s fine. Just 100m off main road. Good roads. Well sign posted. Perfectly safe.
