Kayak Bohol’s Abatan River through mangroves, spot synchronous fireflies, enjoy local food, and support community-led conservation.
“Amazing amazing amazing!!! It was an unforgettable experience kayaking down the Abatan River, learning about the different mangrove species and how vital they are to the ecosystem, local community and natural disaster prevention/mitigation, as well as the threats they face. It was also a once in a lifetime experience kayaking to see the fireflies at night which is more sustainable and less invasive to fireflies than the motorboat firefly tours and learning about them and the challenges they faced. Kuya MacMac was so knowledgeable, helpful and so friendly and I appreciate that KayakAsia is doing so much for conservation and the local communities. They also sell gorgeous upcycled items handsew...”
Kayak Coron Island at sunset through quiet lagoons, mangroves, coral reefs, and secret coves with a skilled local guide.
“Our tour guide was professional and pleasant. We appreciated the recommendations and kayaking tutorial. We’ve all kayaked before but his instructions were helpful, especially during the evening hours. We never felt rushed, the tea, coffee, and snacks were delicious and was the fuel we needed for our journey back. We enjoyed our experience immensely and would recommend this tour to anyone looking for a less crowded adventure under the moon light!!”

“Kompletter Reinfall. Die Agentur vor Ort kann man weder finden, noch kennt sie jemand. Wir haben ewig gesucht, um dann festzustellen es gibt keine Agentur. Der angebliche Guide kam dann auch 30 minuten zu spät. Es wurde alles storniert und wir bekamen unser Geld zurück. Das gleiche fotoshootin kostet vor Ort 2€.”
