“allora, di per sé è un'attività molto bella in quanto ti permetti a vedere degli animali come le lucciole che sono ormai introvabili al giorno d'oggi in altre parti del mondo, per il costo però l'attività è stata troppo veloce. Se dovessi recensire do un sette su 10”

“My mangrove tour experience at Kayakasia in Maribojoc was nothing shy of fantastic! 🥰🌴 Raymark was a gracious, welcoming host who met me upon arrival, oriented me to the tour schedule and eco conservation mission of these wonderfully talented and resourceful folks. Vince was a knowledgeable, generous, and thoughtful kayak instructor/tour guide who enlightened me about the life cycle of the mangrove…the daytime mangrove tour was very informative and stunning to behold up close! The nighttime firefly watching tour was nothing short of spectacular and magical… and a much needed therapeutic escape from the urban pace of my trip that started in Cebu City. Finally, the creative and conservation ta...”

3.Firefly Watching River Cruise (Nature-Dependent)

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 24 reviews · 4 hours · from $19Best value

Review of Bohol’s Loboc River firefly cruise, with hotel transfers, quiet nature, honest tips on crowds, weather, and value.

“The tour group were communicative right up until the time I was due to take the tour on the Monday. I'd been advised my pick up time was 5.30pm but no one showed.

The guide was OK and took photos for guests with their phone. Other…”

“The reason I gave only a 4 is because this CRPH tour company is not good with communicating at all. I tried to contact 3 days prior to ask for confirmation of where the pick up will be- and no response. They contacted me the day of the tour and the driver was 1 hour lateRead more”
