Reviews
the fireflies so good however next time i will suggest the driver needs to communicate because the pick up time is 5:30 to 6pm. we prepared early then the driver picked us at 7:30pm. Well recommended once you arrive to the place.
The Iwahig Firefly watching was a unique experience. It's difficult to take photos of the fireflies since it was dark. While on the boat, one scout firefly went to us and we were able to hold it a bit. The dinner after the tour was great as well.
One of the highlights in my stay in Puerto Princesa, Palawan! I had a great time watching fireflies in their habitat. The tour was very informative and the tour guide was also very witty. Stargazing was a bonus! Definitely recommended!
The experience was honestly so great something new and memorable to try. I really enjoyed it. The food was surprisingly good, and we got to see so many fireflies during the boat tour, which made it extra special. They recommend doing the tour first (it takes about 45 minutes) before heading to dinner, which worked out perfectly. Just a tip: don’t forget to bring bug spray since the waiting and dining area is alfresco. The hotel pick-up and drop-off were super convenient too. One small thing I noticed was that I had to email them to confirm my booking instead of them reaching out first but they did respond quickly, so it wasn’t a big issue. Overall, it’s such a great experience if you’re looking for something unique to do in Puerto Princesa ✨
The buffet offers a limited selection of dishes. The firefly tour is truly remarkable, featuring an abundance of fireflies, and the weather conditions are favorable.
My mom enjoyed the dinner buffet included in the tour. The guide was also patient with us taking pics of the fireflies and the bioluminiscent planktons. Scary and beautiful ride.
The pick up was a few minutes late but we were in communication the whole time, so no hassle on our end. After the tour, the organizer even helped us book a hostel! Great customer service.
For me I Highly recommended this tour, transportation is on time, tour guide very entertaining and knows his job well , the food is very good, One thing I don’t like is very far from the citu center maybe 30 min drive, But overall it’s worth you pay for.
The IWAHIG FIREFLY ADVENTURE is so amazing. The fireflies are like Christmas lights. We really have a great time and a wonderful experience watching the fireflies at night. The dinner buffet foods were so delicious 👍👍👍
The driver arrived on time, and we started dinner upon arrival. The buffet dishes were delicious and the experience was fantastic 👍. Afterwards, we took a small boat to row and enjoy the fireflies. The beauty before our eyes was extremely shocking, and the camera could not capture even one ten-thousandth of its stunning beauty. The tour guide's explanation was professional and meticulous, the atmosphere of the tour was relaxed and pleasant, and the service of all the staff throughout the process was warm and thoughtful. Overall, the experience was super satisfactory!
