I went to Coron as a solo traveler and booked a Firefly Tour @ Kings Fisher Park, and the tour inclusions are Kayaking at the Mangroves area the experience is like you were in a movie Anaconda 😅😂😂😂 and when its get dark you will see the fireflies on a certain mangrove trees, then a bioluminescence when you dip your hand into the water, and the last one star gazing.. Imagine the bioluminescence, fireflies and the stars altogether while kayaking, its magical.. ❤🤍💚
Very nice experience seeing the fireflies. Really friendly rangers with explanations on the reserve and the fireflies. We were unfortunately a little too early to see the plankton but the fireflies we there and the atmosphere was great. If you are lucky on a night with no clouds, the stars are also amazing.
Couple of tips: to see the fireflies, come after sunset. Ideally after 7-7:30pm. We arrived just too early at 6pm. Take bug repellant and apply it BEFORE entering the reserve. You can rent a bike in town for 6 hours for 500 and get there easily in about 25 minutes. Free parking. Entrance fee is 300 per person and 500 if you rent a kayak.

Nice little park to enjoy multiples fireflies. Also the phosphorescent plancton is nice. Don't except something crazy but you still see lights in the water. A bit expensive because it is 500 php to do the fireflies + plancton.
A dirt bumpy road on the side of the highway leads you to one of the most amazing places in Coron. We decided to travel at night to see the plankton and fireflies.
Upon arrival we were greeted by friendly staff. Omar our guide brought us out in kayaks to see the mangroves where fireflies danced. We were also able to see illumination of the plankton as we splashed our hands in the water. It was pitch black but very calm waters, a peaceful environment and a totally cool, underrated place experience. We are so glad we found this hidden gem! The workers were so nice, informative and humble.
500 pesos per person entrance fee. Our guide was nice enough to give us OFF lotion, but bring your own bug spray if you can!
PS, take a van or tricycle from the city is you’re not comfortable riding a scooter.
They did say they were looking to improve the road leading to the park!

Ticket was 500p and tricycle from center was 600p. There are many fireflies which you can see pretty up close. But the planctons were amazing. They create little sparks when you shake the water. Choose a day which has less moonlight :)
Beautiful place. Most people go there after the sunset to see the fireflies and luminiscent plancton, but you can also get there before sunset to walk through the platforms along the mangroves. If you're lucky you can spot some kingfishers and jellyfish. There are no hiking paths, just the platforms but it's 100% worth it. You can take a tour from Coron for like 1200php but also rent a bike and DIY and it'll be 500php per person which includes a kayak and guide plus the bike rental. The place is protected for conservation and I heard that they will soon start offering birdwatching boat rides along the river. The guides were amazing and knew a lot. Just beware of the bumpy and muddy road after the exit from the concrete road, but it's like 300m and very doable.
Definitely worth a visit! We rented a scooter to drive there. Entrance without kayak Tour is 300 PHP per person. Come at around 6 to witness the sunset and fireflies slowly appearing. Stay until 7/8 to see the most beautiful sky!!! (Worth checking if it’s going to be cloudy or not).
Big thanks to the very friendly local man who showed us around. 🫶🏼

The place is mesmerizing especially if there are less to no tourist. It is a very peaceful place for you to unwind and just be with nature. Unfortunately, we weren’t able to see the fireflies and bioluminescent planktons as we were unable to secure a ticket in coron town. But overall experience is great. The sunset view is also to watch for. :)
