Activities

Kuala Selangor offers fun activities for the whole family to enjoy. You can take the children to Taman Alam, which is the nature park, to enjoy a day of bird watching and jungle trekking. Bukit Melawati offers some historical sights and play time with the gentle silver leaf monkeys along with a picturesque view of the coast. Then there's a 9-hole golf course in Kampung Kuantan for those who must have a game on their holiday. Other activities include fishing, fruit hunting and experiencing life in a traditional Malay village.

Among the most popular hobbies among locals in Kuala Selangor or even from the cities is fishing. Fishing takes some part of your mind away from the stress of work and family, while giving you some time to relax. All along the coast from Kuala Selangor are ample fishing spots by the riverside. Anglers can hope to catch great game fish such as 'Siakap', sting rays and even large river prawns or crayfish.

Kampung Sireh is a traditional and agricultural Malay village located near Sekinchan Town. Over here, this charming village offers a home stay programme for interested visitors and tourists who want to experience the pastoral life of a 'kampung', the local name for a Malay village. In this pleasant countryside, guests will be treated with cultural hospitality and feted with local cuisine while exploring the lifestyles of the people in this village.

They can expect to take part in the daily activities of the villagers, such as fishing, planting or harvesting paddy in the rice fields, cooking, feeding the chickens, milking cows and much more. Besides Kampung Sireh, there are also other villages further away that offer the same experience, namely Tanjung Sepat, Batu Laut and Kampung Kundang.

Known as the rice bowl of Selangor State, Sekinchan is a small rustic town that brims with paddy fields. It is also famous for its abundant orchards and sale of tropical fruits such as 'Jambu Air', a small but delicious pear shaped fruit with a pinkish tone; mangosteens, the ever popular purple ball of delight; mangoes, yellow and rich with sweetness; and other exotic fruits of local origin like dragon fruit, sweet corn and coconuts.

Those who love hunting tasty fruits should drive up to this town that's 30 km away from Kuala Selangor for some shopping. Once there, visitors are greeted by vast expenses of paddy in various states of growth. Many fruit traders have set up their stalls along the main road, where you can park your car and proceed to bargain for the best prices.
