Description

Enjoy a peaceful evening with a firefly-watching cruise along one of the serene rivers in Puerto Princesa City on Palawan Island.

Puerto Princesa City, located on the globally acclaimed Palawan Island, is famous for its natural wonders and unspoiled beaches.

This firefly-watching tour offers a different side of the city, focusing on its quiet rivers and the mangroves that line them. 

This night tour includes the services of a friendly driver guide and a dedicated cruise guide, a delicious dinner, and comfortable transfers from and to your hotel in Puerto Princesa City.

If you are looking for a more exclusive experience, you can upgrade this to a private tour.

Your driver will meet you at your hotel, where you’ll begin your trip to the stunning Iwahig River. Set within the lush landscapes of Puerto Princesa City, this river is known for its calm waters and dense mangrove forests that line the banks. 

The idyllic Iwahig River is home to a variety of wildlife, but at night, the fireflies become the main attraction, lighting up the trees in a stunning display.

After being brought to the dock, you’ll board your boat with your cruise guide and slowly glide through the calm waters, surrounded by mangroves. As you move along the river, fireflies will begin to light up the trees, creating a sparkling display that feels like nature’s very own light show.

Your guide will expertly navigate the boat to the areas where the fireflies are most abundant, allowing you to see these fascinating creatures up close. The boat will pause so you can fully enjoy the magical glow of the fireflies. 

To make the most of this special moment, we suggest bringing a camera with night mode, which will help you capture the fireflies perfectly.

As you make your way down the river, don’t forget to glance up at the night sky. With no city lights nearby, this part of Puerto Princesa City offers a clear view of the stars, adding an extra layer of wonder to your already unforgettable trip.

While drifting along the peaceful waters, you’ll be treated to a delightful set dinner served right on the boat. This unique dining experience allows you to savor local flavors while surrounded by nature’s beauty. 

After the firefly-watching tour, your driver will take you to the charming Puerto Princesa Baywalk Park for a leisurely night stroll along the shore. This will give you time to enjoy the gentle sea breeze and the sound of the waves. 

Once you've taken in the beautiful views, your driver will be ready to bring you back to your hotel, where you can unwind or explore more of Puerto Princesa City.

Don’t miss the chance to experience the enchanting glow of fireflies on a tranquil evening cruise in Puerto Princesa City. Secure your spot and check the availability now for a memorable time under the stars.
