At-A-Glance

This firefly park is a multi-generational business that offers a riverboat ride in the evenings to view thousands of luminous fireflies! The staff is really friendly even though it got busy during the peak hours, and their boat captains were really experienced – peering into the darkness and pointing out the wildlife which is invisible to the naked eye!

Main Highlights

🎄 Firefly Magic: Takes a while for our eyes to get adjusted to the darkness, but soon enough – the river glistened with the fireflies all around us, just like Christmas lightings. The guide was able to steer us close enough to have some of these fireflies landing on our palms

🔦 Knowledgeable Guides: The boat captain was a knowledgeable guide who were able to point us to different creatures hiding in different spots – not just the fireflies, but monkeys and monitor lizards too!

🛥️ Boat Ride: Our little Beans were equally excited to jump onto a “river cruise” – as that was the only way we were able to get close to the fireflies in the river

Best time to visit is 7.30pm but that’s when it is usually most crowded, so do make reservations before heading down!
