I’ve known the existence of the Iwahig Firefly Watching in Puerto Princesa City (PPC), Palawan ever since my first visit here last October of 2010. But it was only this May 2013 that I was able to personally experience it. Thanks to Catherine Iblan of SeekingFelicity.com for inviting me to join her and her fun group. 🙂

After an afternoon at the beach we got back at our lodge in the city proper around 7PM. In truth I was really hungry by then but luckily they all agreed that we should first do the Iwahig Firefly Watching before doing dinner as we fear we may not be able to reach them before their closing.

Firefly Watching in Magdiwang, Sibuyan Island, Romblon

November 29, 2012 by Josiah 2 Comments

After a tiring day hiking to Dalipi River then to DENR Substation in Brgy. Tampayan and a tricycle ride to explore the Lambingan Falls of Magdiwang, Sibuyan Island in the province of Romblon we were back at the Sanctuary Garden Resort resting and waiting for the night to pass.

Dinner then Halo-halo session and it was time for us to leave again to visit the Firefly Watching of Magdiwang River Cruise Association.

After a 10 minute ride on the multicab service of Sanctuary Garden Resort we were on the registration area for the Firefly Watching.

We registered and paid the 10 Pesos per person entrance fee and the 200 Pesos per person paddle boat tour for the firefly watching.

Next we were walking on dark ruins where even the light bulbs were not able to provide enough lumination for us to see the whole place. According to our guides it was a Spanish fortress before. I wish we had time to go back and see it in daylight as I wanted to see the trees that were growing on the side of the walls.

We then reached the beach and small boats were waiting for us. The boats were really small that only the boatman and a single guest can only fit in.

Cheaper Way to Tour Puerto Princesa, Palawan

December 7, 2011 by Josiah

You might just be turned-off when you see the standard prices offered by different travel agencies in Puerto Princesa, Palawan.

Standard Rates for Travel Agencies from the City Tourism Office of Puerto Princesa

(per pax) Standard Rates for Travel Agencies from the City Tourism Office of Puerto Princesa

Let’s say that you’re going to do the City Tour (P600/pax), Honday Bay (P1,100/pax) and Iwahig Firefly Watching (P1,100/pax) that would cost you P2,800! But don’t get turned-off yet to Puerto Princesa, there’s still a chance to go cheaper and the answer is travel with friends and ride Tourism Accredited Tricycles.
