Crab Island Tour. A unique and adventures tour that starts with a drive to Port Klang previously known as Port Swettenham. The 30-minute ferry rides then take you by the Sea Mangrove Swamps to a fishing village known as Pulau Ketam (Crab Island). What makes Pulau Ketam fascinating is that a visit here, is like a journey back in time, where Chinese traditions, wooden homes and fishing are very much a part of life. Pulau Ketam is full of fishing village scenery. All buildings are built 3-5 feet from the swampland. During high tide, houses look like floating on the water giving a wonderful and romantic feeling.

They are positioned at the four corners, arising over 460 feet from the ground and one of the tallest minarets in the world.

The final place will be the Thean Hou Temple which was built-on 1989. Situated on a hillock, this magnificent Chinese Temple has golden roofed pagodas and strings of lanterns. Located inside are three majestic statues of deities, including the main deity Thean Hou. The ornate architecture and scenic surroundings lend a serene atmosphere to the temple. Within its grounds are status of the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac. In the basement area, shops sell a variety of items such as woodcarving and other decorative pieces.

Fireflies Tour, our last stop is to see fireflies by night at Kampung Pasir Penambang. It is a small agricultural village and is widely known for its large firefly colonies. While enjoying a pleasant boat ride in the Selangor River, it noted the fireflies consistently patronized the serenity of the mangrove areas.

Firefly is a type of insect from the beetle family. The 'Pteroptye tener' species are the largest species found in Kampung Kuantan. The fireflies here are unique because of its tail that produces light. The light flash by each insect is at an accurate interval of 3 seconds. Imagine watching thousands of fireflies flashing their light at an accurate rhythm. The fireflies are 6 cm in length. The male fireflies flash out brighter lights than the female counterparts. This is because the male must attract the female fireflies during the mating season. The lifespan of firefly is about 2-3 months.
