Cherating, Pahang
Cherating is Malaysia's best-known beach destination on the East Coast. Besides having a beautiful beach, it's also home the Cherating River and its wonderful firefly population. Here, you can go on a Cherating firefly river cruise where you'll see the fireflies blink like stars in the sky and even have some fly up close to your boat.
You'll also get to learn all about the local fireflies (Pteroptyx bearni) which flash unsynchronised to each other, giving you a magical experience up close that’ll change your perspective of the natural world in new and exciting ways.
Besides the Cherating firefly cruise at night, there's also a daytime mangrove river cruise where you can discover the flora and fauna of the Cherating river.
