Bamboo Bicycle Tour in twilight: watch dancing Fireflies in Bangkok





Description
This Bike & Dine Tour is a unique outdoor experience you will remember for a long time. First, you will be taken on a relaxed, awesome bamboo bicycle adventure, riding on quiet backstreet paths. As the afternoon ends, night birds and insects will already play their symphony of jungle sounds. At twilight, we return to have a delicious Thai dinner at a romantic outdoor restaurant, beautifully located on the river banks. Enjoy the excellent food while watching the river and the blinking lights of Bangkok across the water. We can easily spend a few hours here. However, after you have digested your dinner a boat will be waiting for our river cruise. We know a special place where we may witness fascinating fireflies abundantly lighting up the sky. I never get enough of seeing these nightly creatures and like to share this experience with you. We have fireflies year-round. However, when it is very windy, they might be harder to spot. Nevertheless, your tour will be unforgettable.

A lovely experience with lovely people - And and King were caring, thoughtful and fun as our guides. The "exhilarating" cycle on elevated pathways led to a fish feeding frenzy, an outstanding homemade local dinner on the river bank and a sparkly experience with the fireflies on the river. The surreal experience of cycling through dense jungle in the middle of Bangkok is well worth it.
Many thanks to Aod and his lovely wife who guided us. The bike tour was nice and Aod took some picture and send them later via WhatsApp. That way we could fully enjoy the tour. Diner was great and sering the fireflies was amazing. Warm regards for Aod and his wife
What a fantastic experience! The bike tour with Fireflies is without a doubt the highlight of our trip so far. Guide Aod and his wife have pampered us incredibly from start to finish and created a warm, personal atmosphere. The bike ride through Bang Krachao, the green lung near Bangkok, was surprisingly beautiful and a wonderful change from the bustle of the city. Along the way we enjoyed beautiful places and ended the evening with a delicious dinner at sunset. As icing on the cake, we saw the fireflies light up in the dark – a magical experience. Just as we were returning by boat, a gigantic thunderstorm erupted. The return through the pouring rain gave the adventure an extra dose of excitement and only made this unforgettable evening more memorable.
We did not go in knowing what to expect and ended up having a great time. The highlight was the firefly's, but unexpected was all the food and local drink along the way.
Sugar was an exceptional guide. He was very knowledgeable, fun and truly thought of every detail to make the trip so enjoyable. He carefully adjusted each bike for comfort and was flexible with the different skill levels of the riders. At the first stop, he bought us a coconut drink and picked up some fish food for our next stop to feed the fish in the lake. He kept us on target for timing without making us feel rushed and shared many stories and cultural stories. He was incredibly prepared bringing out hand sanitizer and bug spray for us The meal was delicious. Some of the best chicken coconut soup I’ve had all trip and the boat ride to the fireflies was magical. I can’t recommend this tour and our guide Sugar enough. You won’t regret it
My wife and I just got back from the Twilight Firefly Bangkok Bicycle Trip, and it was honestly one of the highlights of our time in Bangkok. The experience starts with a boat ride to a lush green island just across the city, but it feels like stepping into an entirely different world — peaceful, slow-paced, and full of nature. The cycling route takes you through beautiful greenery and a lovely nature reserve, with plenty of fun little breaks along the way. We stopped for delicious sticky rice and mango, fed fishes for some “good karma,” and soaked in the charm of island life. A huge shoutout to our fantastic guide, Mr. Sugar, whose energy, warmth, and knowledge made the experience extra special. He and his colleague kept the evening fun, engaging, and relaxed throughout. The ride ended with a lovely home-cooked dinner by the river, which was the perfect way to wind down. But the real magic came after dinner — we hopped onto a long-tail boat and cruised through the river in the dark while fireflies lit up the trees around us. Absolutely beautiful and something we’ll remember for a long time. Highly recommended if you want to experience a completely different side of Bangkok!
A wonderful evening of cycling,delicious meal and magical time on the water looking at fireflies. The hosts were woniteaching us about their culture
Fantastic trip. Highly recommended!
Woah what a fantastic experience!! I signed up to this for the fireflies but there was so much more to it that I really enjoyed! We crossed the river by private boat, collected bikes, then enjoyed a fun ride along raised paths through beautiful jungle and gardens. We were given samples of beautiful fruit, herbs and flowers growing in the garden which was a lovely touch! Riding through the park was also fun, as was feeding the fish and visiting an observation deck. Riding on the island feels safe and comfortable, and the bikes are in great condition. Dinner was fantastic, some of the best food Ive had in Thailand and plenty of it! Then going out on the water to see the fireflies was magical - we were lucky enough to have perfect weather for seeing them. Thank you for making this experience so fun, interesting and informative, I would absolutely do this again!
This was a fantastic excursion! We were provided private transport from Bangkok to the island via boat and were then greeted with our bikes and taken into the jungle. Our hosts took time to show us edible plants and gardening, the giant catfish in the park, and a bird observatory tower with a fun photoshoot. We were then treated to a home cooked meal on a private terrace overlooking the river before heading out to see fireflies make trees look like Christmas decorations! It was great to combine an active bike ride with education about the island. I think my favorite part was feeling like I was so far from Bangkok when I was just across the river. I recommend this tour to anyone!
