Iwahig Firefly Watching Mangrove and Wildlife Park

We have booked our Tour with Budgetariang Lakwatsa and we had a great experience. I'd say book your tour ahead of time so pick up and drop off to Baywalk Park will be accommodated.

Not sure why this place got such a low review. Our experience was magical. The tour also includes a Dinner Buffet and it did not disappoint.

Our tour guide "Dodong" or as he calls himself "handsome" was so friendly and very knowledgeable. He shared some interesting facts about Fireflies while throwing jokes from time to time.

I looked for pictures on Facebook to see if it was worth it to include in our tour packages. I did not see any fireflies on the pictures so I wasn't sure what to expect. When we got there, there were really fireflies! Turns out, their light is just not that visible in the pictures.

I'd do it all over again in a heartbeat..

NOTE that there are two areas for Firefly Watching - Iwahig and Kitu-Kito.

Save your money.

The fireflies are at some trees and react with res light. There are around 8 of those trees in the 10 minutes part of the river where you can see them. Not with the money. I've seen more flyig around in other places and don't expect them to fly around. They are just still on the trees.

Booked the tour with Maple Travel and Tours. The package includes being picked up from your hotel accommodation/prefered pick up point. Tour starts from the Puerto Princesa City Baywalk during dusk. The boat ride is around 20 minutes but you will not be bored since they have a very lively tour guide that gives a very informational details about Puerto Princesa, Baywalk and the fireflies. Then you will be transferred to another boat to tour the mangroves where the fireflies can be found. It pays to be able to take photos and videos to document the activity especially when your phone is able to take HD photos and videos. The experience with the fireflies is one worth remembering. The tour guide makes you interact with the fireflies which makes the activity very enjoyable and memorable. Before going back to the Baywalk, the guests will be sharing a sumptuous dinner prepared by the staff. The food was good and tummy-filling. Overall the tour was reasonable for its price.

Firefly mangrove river boat tour in night is a unique experience. Tour operator picked us up from the hotel in Puerto Princesa, Palawan to riverside. The tour included a delicious dinner also. Watching jungle full of fireflies is awesome. The boatman explained all the things about fireflies in mangrove and explained how to protect them. No light is allowed in the jungle. Only boatman cum guide has a torch light. Complete darkness is required to keep fireflies at ease. it looked like the trees are decorated with lights for Christmas. It is mesmerizing to watch the fireflies- a memorable experience.

Lovely little expeience if you are in Palawan. Peacful on the water and when the guide splashes the bugs they light up and whizz around which is good to see.

Very Pleasent tour staff, they did everything for us to have fun, very good food prepared for the tour in the middle of the sea. Fireflies was nice

CLOSED' but a nice place to chill, relax and reminisce with friends / partners or even on a SOLO MISSION 🥰
