Palawan Puerto Princesa Iwahig River Shared Firefly Watching Tour with Dinner & Transfers
Description
Summary
Description
Watch fireflies dance above the idyllic Iwahig River in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, through this tour. This firefly tour in Puerto Princesa is perfect for those looking for a leisurely night out immersed in the city's diverse landscape. The river cruise also comes with the service of a guide, a set dinner, a visit to the Puerto Princesa Baywalk Park, and hotel pick-up and drop-off within the city proper. For a more memorable experience, you may also upgrade your tour to a private one.
Your guide will fetch you from your accommodation at 5:30 PM so you can arrive at the port before the sun completely sets. When you get to the port, you and your guide will get in a small row boat operated by a local boatman. You will then start slowly cruising across the water as the sun sets, casting the area in warm orange hues before eventually transitioning into evening. When the sun finally dips behind the horizon, keep your eyes peeled as you cruise near the mangroves that line the river.
Remember to turn off your camera's flash beforehand to avoid scaring away the fireflies. Listen to your guide as you try and find a good spot to watch these insects dance above the calm waters. Along with watching the fireflies light up the evening air around you, you may also get to see glowing plankton slowly illuminate the river's surface. To get a better look at them, focus on the edges of your boat that glide through the river as the plankton glow more when the water is gently disturbed.
While on the river cruise, you'll be treated to a complimentary set dinner. Enjoy a unique dining experience as your dinner is served aboard the boat. After the cruise, you will drop by the Puerto Princesa Baywalk Park for a night stroll next to the sea before heading back to your hotel.
