Firefly Watching

Tour Loay, Central Visayas, Philippines

What to expect

Firefly watching in Loay, Bohol, is a magical experience that showcases the natural beauty of the region's night-time ecosystems. The tour is typically conducted along the Loay or Abatan River, offering a serene and enchanting evening as you glide along the river in a boat, illuminated only by the soft glow of fireflies. The fireflies light up the trees along the riverbanks, creating a mesmerizing display that resembles a twinkling, natural light show. This activity is safe, especially when done during the dry season, and life vests are provided. It's a great experience for families to enjoy together, and the best time to go is from November to January when the mangroves are in bloom
