You will travel down the river and the leader will shine his torch towards the trees and with that 100’s of fireflies will slowly fly towards the boat.

The leader will also share with you all about the behavior of fireflies, watching the little lights glide across the water to the boat is almost mystical.

Magical! - Hafiz is very passionate about fireflies and it shows in the pre-boat talk he gave. The talk was short, entertaining and informative. We didn’t really know what to expect on the boat ride, but when we saw the fireflies in the trees like Christmas lights, we were excited. Then Hafiz did his magic and they flew towards the boat like embers in the night. It was magical! We even manage to have a few land on our hands, clothing and faces. So surreal. I highly recommend this experience when in the area. You shouldn’t miss it! Also don’t put on any insect repellent before the trip, as surprise, surprise, fireflies are insects and you definitely wouldn’t want to repel these fantastic creatures. Note: don’t take any pictures using your phone as it will distract the fireflies and give you or the other passengers temporary night blindness as the surroundings are so dark. Just enjoy the experience.

Magical experience with fireflies in the mangrove - We did the first tour with Hafiz in 2012, and we found it a fantastic experience for everyone visiting Cherating. Watching the behavior of the fireflies and learning about their uniqueness in the hundreds / thousands of species is really great. Hafiz has come a very long way but his passion and involvement continues to be the same. Really committed to preserve the environment and ecology of the mangrove while providing an educational point to the visitors. Don’t miss it!

Magical Experience - An amazing and magical experience! Hafiz really knows his stuff when it comes to fireflies, and somehow manages to lure the fireflies from their trees towards you with a flashlight. They will land on your hand or perhaps on your head sometimes, it truly is a fantastic experience and there's nothing quite like it! Though if you bring kids, be sure to tell them to be nice to the fireflies. Was on a boat with children and they kept trying to roughly catch the fireflies, which is rather cruel! Otherwise a beautiful experience and absolutely magical.

Good experience & bad traffic - Phone number is wrong. Pined location is not accurate. Hard to find taxi. Not easy for foreigners. But the firefly activity itself was great.

Few fireflies/exhaust fumes - A little disappointed because in the end there were not many fireflies. The weather was stormy and that may have played a role. We are aware that it is nature and its imponderables. What really ruined the experience was the boat exhaust. We were divided into 6 boats, navigation is done at low speed following each other. We breathed the exhaust fumes for almost an hour. Considering the activity, electric motors would be perfectly suited.
