Watch thousands of fireflies, enjoy dinner, and cruise Puerto Princesa’s Sicsican River on a relaxed four-hour evening tour.
“Great great tour! Very well organised and didn’t feel touristy at all. We were pretty much the only boat there until the very end and felt super private.

Review of Manila’s cultural dance dinner at Barbara’s, with Filipino buffet, hotel pickup, traditional music, colorful costumes, value, and practical tips.
“The cultural dance show is worth visiting, colorful and well prepared though, the image photo on the internet is not identical with Barbara's restaurant. I would rate the prepared Dinner Buffet rather average, also once I saw the low price which I compared with our price asked from the organizer. The pick-up from the Hotel and drop-off was also very fine.”

Review of Puerto Princesa’s Balayong Park night tour with dinner, fountain show, hotel transfers, and optional spa massage.
“The best part was massage. overall the trip was not well planned and organized. it was advertised that we will see a show but we did not see fountain show as the first stop was restaurant for buffet dinner as advertised and restaurant was closed so we went to city hall and baker hill. Then we saw fountains but not a show. The dinner was not a buffet as we were not given choices to select and buffet means you can get more than one round.
