We had a wonderful time watching the fireflies at iwahig! The experience was made even more memorable thanks to the excellent service from Corazon Travel & Tours, everything was well-organized, and the tour was truly enjoyable from start to finish, special shoutout to our tour guide, sir/ma’am Kyle, for making the trip both informative and entertaining, we learned so much while having a great time throughout the tour. Thank you for the amazing experience! Highly recommended, and great job, Corazon Travel & Tours!
Booking through their official IG account was quick and seamless. We availed the full package (transport, dinner, and tour), and everything ran smoothly — from punctual pick-up to a hassle-free journey throughout. The buffet was simple with limited choices, but the Filipino dishes served were flavorful and satisfying. The highlight of the experience was definitely the tour itself. Our guide, Raymart, shared fascinating insights about fireflies and the Palawan ecosystem, which made the experience even more meaningful. We were also lucky to witness bioluminescent plankton, and the clear night sky revealed a stunning view of constellations above us. Truly a magical experience and highly recommended.
Great tour organised by this operator. Reliable pick-up at our hotel in Puerto Princesa, much information provided in the van and on-site. We really enjoyed the tour in thé mangroves!
It was a magical experience to see the fireflies, it is definitely worth doing it, the driver was really good and the drive as well. Even the fish dinner was a delicacy. Thank you so much!
A little disappointed we expected a wow!!!! Christmas tree style but hey, we did we saw fireflies in Puerto princesa Count 1400 php x person meal included (chicken, shrimp, pork, vegetables, vegetables and watermelon plus a bottle of water ) rv at 6 pm at the hotel return 9:30 pm. A van takes you to take the boat to the port then cross and when you are in the mangrove change boat to have a closer to nature. The guide will wave his red light, you will look at the trees and see the fireflies
I was picked up at the hotel and driven to Iwahig. Travel time was so 30-45 min. First there was a delicious dinner where I was served beach crabs for the first time. This was followed by an entertaining tour of the mangroves with fascinating experiences through thousands of fireflies in the trees. There were only three of us in the boat and we were paddled through the mangroves at night and moonlight. Another highlight were the algae in the water, which lit up with every touch, for example with the paddle or the hand. The two boaters were friendly and tried to bring us closer to these experiences.
Vielen Dank für deine tolle Bewertung! Es freut uns sehr, dass du die Iwahig-Besichtigung so genossen hast und die einzigartigen Erlebnisse, wie die Strandkrabben und die Glühwürmchen-Tour, so beeindruckend fanden. Es ist wirklich etwas Besonderes, durch die Mangroven zu paddeln und die Algen im Wasser leuchten zu sehen. Wir freuen uns, dass die Bootsführer dir dabei so gut zur Seite standen. Wir hoffen, dich bald wieder bei einer unserer Touren begrüßen zu dürfen! 😊
Gorgeous place, competent and extremely kind staff, fancy dinner and walking under the moonlight and seeing thousands of fireflies beside the river was really heavenly. The whole place is new and very clean. Very welcoming
