Best Time to Join
The tour runs daily from 18:45 to 21:00, and starting around 19:00 is ideal, especially on weekends.
Starting a bit earlier gives you a better chance to see more fireflies before the evening gets busy with other boats and visitors.
A little tip: if it rains heavily but stops before 18:00, the fireflies often come out in even larger numbers, making the experience even more magical.
