It was good, but I suggest to pick a date when the moon is out...

Pick-up time is given and they arrived exactly as given, as a solo tourist, the crowd number was good (which is 8) which is also the exact number of people the boat can accomodate... The moonlight was so good but as explained by the tour guide, I think it would be better if its darker or when the moon is not so bright for us to see more of the fireflies... The length of visit was not too short but not too long that it gets boring, the food for dinner was delicious and was nicely cooked... Overall, it was worth it but I would like to try again when there is no moonlight so I can witness the best of it...

Amazing experience

A great trip, very eco-conscious and knowing that the proceeds go towards the local indigenous community was nice. Dinner was delicious and the tour guide Maricel was very friendly and accomodating. Highly recommend corazon tours.

Highly recommend!

We had a wonderful experience on our firefly tour in Puerto Princesa. From the moment we booked, the company was incredibly easy to get in contact with and very responsive, answering all of our questions promptly, which made everything feel stress-free. The experience itself was magical and the food at the buffet was delicious. The price was very worth the experience we had. Our driver, Mark, was friendly and made the ride comfortable, and our guide, B Boy, truly made the tour special. He shared so much interesting information about the Philippines while keeping things light and fun with true Filipino humor. He was knowledgeable, engaging, and a joy to spend the evening with. We would have absolutely loved to do more tours with B Boy and highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Puerto Princesa.

Lovely night out

Great guide, lots of local information. Not far from PPS and the food was fantastic. Enjoyed the quiet river and there were some fireflies. Well worth the value.

Particular night excursion

Particular night excursion on the Nagsaguipi river to admire the many fireflies that populate the mangroves of the river. Tours generally start shortly after sunset, and take place in an unspoilt area, away from light pollution. You get on a small traditional rowing boat with 8 seats. Conducting and rowing is the task of the accompanying sailor and this is also to minimize noise and not disturb the natural environment. At times groups of fireflies appear flying over mangrove trees. I thought I was seeing more from what I had read, maybe the weather or the weather conditions weren't ideal. You cannot use the flash to take photos (understandable) also because, in this case, it is ineffective, so “no photos”. Recommended use of an insect repellent, as the area is wet and rich in mosquitoes. After the excursion, you return to the center where you can dine at self-service, decent food quality, reduced choice
