1.Puerto Princesa: Firefly Watching Bay Cruise with Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 175 reviews · 4 hours · from $34Book this one

Puerto Princesa firefly bay cruise with dinner and hotel pickup, mangrove fireflies, and bioluminescent plankton in 4 hours.

“Well organised. Comfortable mini-van pickup. When departing Bay Walk enormous flocks of giant fruit bats flew over us which was amazing. A full moon shone on us and we sailed across the bay. We were in the first group who joined a smaller boat for the mangrove trip and watched the tiny fireflies in the trees like tiny fairy lights. It was amazing. Just like magic one flew over to our boat and landed on it. Then we returned to our main boat and enjoyed a delicious buffet meal, whilst the second group went out to the mangrove. Great evening out. Could do with a little music on our return…”

“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!”

Puerto Princesa: Iwahig Firefly Watching & River Cruise - The 3 to 4 hour rhythm: pickup, short sightseeing, cruise, dinner

11.Puerto Princesa: Iwahig Firefly Watching & River Cruise

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 21 reviews · 3 hours · from $38

Night boat cruise on Iwahig River for mangrove fireflies in Puerto Princesa, plus optional buffet dinner, guided staff.

“Seeing the fireflies was amazing, and the boat guide was great - knowledgeable, funny and really good at spotting fireflies. Travelling down the river in the dark with only fireflies showing up was an amazing experience. However, the transport was a mess. There was already a large pickup window which was missed, without any notification from the organiser. There didn't seem to be great records of who was going, leading to confusion. On arrival, it was again unclear what was happening and where to go. There is little to do at the dock apart from the boat tour. Still a worthwhile trip!”

See hundreds of fireflies on Puerto Princesa’s jungle river at Kitu-KiTo D'Makarios, with dinner and pickup included.

“The fireflies were interesting but after about 5 minutes, I had seen enough. Some of the other guests were really amazed so I just might be easily bored 😁 The food was good and there was plenty of it. I have no complaints, it just wasn't a thrilling tour.”
