Kayak Bohol's Abatan River mangrove tunnels, watch synchronous fireflies at twilight, then enjoy home cooked Filipino dinner with a conservation focus.

“Kayaking the Abatan River mangroves was an amazing experience. We loved weaving through the small channels—it was so much fun and really beautiful. Our guide, Vince, topped it all off. He was very knowledgeable and made us feel completely safe the whole time. Our kids (7 and 10) had a fantastic time kayaking and paddling too. The fireflies were beautiful to watch as they twinkled in the night. Amazing food too! Such a great family-friendly adventure—we highly recommend it!”
