Kota Tinggi Firefly Park
A night boat trip through mangroves along the Johor River, where thousands of fireflies flash in unison in the trees.
On both banks of the Johor River outside Kota Tinggi town, mangroves grow densely. At night, large numbers of fireflies gather on the mangrove trees and flash in unison, like strings of Christmas lights. The Firefly Park offers night boat trips of about 30 to 45 minutes (about RM40 to 50 per person), usually departing after 19:30. The number of fireflies drops on rainy days or during a full moon. Flash photography is prohibited. It is about one hour's drive from Johor Bahru and is often combined with Kota Tinggi Waterfalls and a seafood dinner as a day trip.
