What to expect

The fireflies of Puerto Princesa are famous for being a breathtaking spectacle. This tour will get you right up close to this amazing natural wonder. You'll be able to enjoy a delicious buffet dinner before you climb aboard a boat and set off on an underground river. As dusk falls and darkness settles, the light show of the fireflies begin. It is only in Southeast Asia where fireflies glow in unison; they are a repeating, glowing beat, as seen through the mangrove trees. The whole line of mangroves and trees will be lit with flashing fireflies, so distinct that it is said that in these parts of the world, fishermen use them as a form of guiding system to find their way in the darkness of the night. Don't miss the chance to see these breathtaking wonders when you head to Puerto Princesa!

We were picked up in our hotel which was in the town proper. The tour guide was very insightful about the place and shared his knowledge about fireflies. There were also a lot of fireflies than we expected.

The driver was polite and on time. the tour guide and the boat crew were so hospitable. The food was delicious and definitely a must try. The tour itself was enchanting. Being able to see the firefles in their natural habitat was therapeutic.

From Alex the driver to Paul the guide and the cook, everything was very pleasant and well organised (rare in PH). The guide was very knowledgeable about fireflies and stargazing which was perfect with such a clear sky. The trip on the little boat on the river in the dark was amazing. Many fireflies to spot and probably the best travel agency for nature trips (Wild Experience). Food was also very satisfying. A must!

The Firefly Watching Tour in Puerto Princesa was a mesmerizing experience that left me in awe of nature's beauty. Navigating the tranquil mangrove river under the starlit sky, the flickering fireflies created a magical atmosphere. The knowledgeable guide shared fascinating insights about these glowing insects, adding depth to the enchanting journey. A must-try for anyone seeking a unique and serene encounter with nature in Puerto Princesa.

Clean information, frendly guide and really good dinner!! Watching fireflies is luck of weather and timing I guess. You definately can see some firefles but there were only specific spots. I enjoyed watching the star though.

The whole itinerary is very relaxing, and the tour and the driver are also very nice~ It can be said that the whole cooperation and service are great! At first, I was hesitating whether to find a local hotel or a local travel agency (but in fact, I feel that it is not very safe, I am afraid of losing my bag or not buying other itineraries and being put on face), so after thinking about it, I decided to find a better itinerary than the hotel. It’s cheap, and in case something happens, we still have a place to book a package itinerary. Fortunately, there is a universal network and a powerful Internet, so that we can truly connect with the world and get awesome Service, pick up and drop off on time, even if there is a power outage at the place where we eat...Tour also turned on the flashlight function of the mobile phone very conscientiously, and raised his hand high to illuminate us from the beginning to the end. I am so touched~ Although the journey along the road is a bit long, but He is still telling jokes and constantly introducing himself from the beginning to the end. He is so conscientious and touched~ It is too high CP to have this kind of service and the price~

After comparing the prices, convenience and accuracy of local restaurants, I felt like we hadn’t seen each other late. In the future, we will order the local package itinerary we want from Klook. It has everything, it’s too powerful~ and it’s very convenient and accurate I will use a message or e-mail one day in advance to directly inform the pick-up time and itinerary to the hotel. It is completely clear at a glance. The car that comes to the pick-up is also comfortable and will not feel too crowded or hard. The whole The process and service are very good ~ there is no extra cost or hard sell, so satisfied! In the future, we will be more courageous to travel abroad freely, and make more flexible use of our travel itinerary

We had a great time. There were no issues with the hotel pickup and drop off. I like how we're able to stroll along the bay while waiting, because that's where the boat is. The experience itself was also relaxing (not to mention, the food was delicious!). The listing photos aren't accurate, though. I think they should update it so the right expectations are set. Other than that, it's all good.
