Watching the fireflies from the boat was very nice. However, the overall evening experience was disappointing. The two of us were added to a group of 7 others (9 in total) and we've been brought to a buffet restaurant in the city centre of Puerto Princesa to have dinner. This is not what was advertised and we had not been informed of the change. We regretted we did not go for dinner by ourselves for better value for money and experience. Also, the first place did not have any vegetarian food available (despite the fact that I sent multiple reminders to the organisers) so the group had to move to another location for the vegans and vegetarians of the group to eat. The car ride is a bit long, about 45 min each way for only 35 min on the boat. To conclude, I would advise you to reach the Fireflies place by yourself (worth it! And great to support the conservation of the area) and maybe take the opportunity to discover the North of Puerto Princesa by yourself instead of this group tour which does not add any value to your evening experience.
