An amazing experience. I expected to be able to touch the and all but being able to see the trees littered with them was good enough! The first few trees of were disappointing, but as we reached the end, the guides let us take a few more pictures and observe a little more. guide was super knowledgeable and proficient with English. TO NOTE: WEAR LONGSLEEVES and JEANS if you want to avoid mosquitoes! We did a 6:30 pm firefly tour. It was a windy evening so the were not as intense, but still a delight to see the trees filled with stars. If you can, I recommend purchasing tickets mid-day as they run day of sales only and first come first served. I stopped by and bought tickets at noon for 6:30 and we did not have to at all for a private boat. Very bad for first try in Abatan, several guides and argue for super long waiting more then 1 hour; staff not follow sequence for boarding, angry guide call the police man to stop an correct what they doing. Only 5 boats total available in one time and limit staffs, need to more than an hour for the if weekend or holiday. due to they sell every private for even only 2 person, actually can suitable for 10 px or more , but they prefer let longer to earn more. Suggest either book advance or come late then 8pm, have chance less waiting. While waiting, missing instructions, no staff’s explanation how long need to wait, when would it start, no number and sign show the sequence, everyone just out door together with mosquitoes. Staff attitude really rude and cannot answer question, they don’t sure how long need to wait, when the next will back, will only tell you they don’t know , not in charge here , pls ask my manager. If you don’t like you can go to other company. Need rearrange the for limit private use, once have many customers at holiday or weekend, should limit sell the private or merge the travel group to save time. Need to clean the boarding sequence not until police man come. Need re-training the staffs, how to reply correctly and provide accurate informations. need to learn listen when suggestions and complaints instead of just call the phone and walk away. Or ask go to other company. Firefly watching boat. Nice Reading the other reviews. I have to see that we were hesitant. But all in all, process took no more than 10mn from arrival to board. We choose the kayak, which was great, you get a guide per kayak and they even paddle for you. Got great explanations, amazing show, even spotted few bioluminescent plankton. All in all, for the cost, I think it was 850php per person, it was 100% worth it. I read some reviews before joining the buffet lunch. I'm sorry about the disappointments of some, but our expereince was really great. There was enough food and they kept refilling the buffet table and can't complain about any of the food ~ all delish! ~ from appetizers to main courses, to desserts, and soups (I went for the bulalo soup like 5 or 6x, lol!). Staff was great and not pushy for tips (as other people have mentioned). The singer was very good. We were really entertained during the whole ride. It was so fun at the stop where the young performers were. They deserve tips! Loved the over-all 😍 Absolutely amazing experience. I've done this before in the 90s when you walk down to the riverbank and it was literally a bamboo raft pushed by a small motor boat. Now it's a whole coordinated spectacle with good food, competent staff and outstanding performance by the local children. Do give a tip to the kids and staff, they work hard it! We opted for Kayak ourselves and it was turly amazing experience. Our guide helped through kayak as it was our first time.He was really patient with us. Seeing was just an amazing feeling.lucky me,A firefly sat on my finger🥰 The are beautiful. No camera shots can give them justice. You must see them with your own eyes to appreciate them fully It was a great to see the in the mangroves of Abatan River. These insects can only be seen away from the population. They make the whole tree light up like a Christmas tree in the dark! Very nice 1h by along the river up to where the river meet the sea. Views are nice, we actually enjoyed it more than Loboc river because it's more quiet and less touristic. Guide was very nice and explaining a lot.
