We really enjoyed meeting Hafiz and his fireflies. We were a small group of 2 boats. We set out at around 8pm after an information session on the fireflies breeding and mating cycles and that they are non-synchronized fireflies. We enjoyed watching Hafiz summon the fireflies to us with his magic torch and hand motions :) We had them land... More

I visited the hafiz firefly trip on the mangrove river and I was blown away by it. you set off from the hut on cherating strip in a group of boats (this one was 6 in total). the boats take you way up river into the pitch black whre there is no light pollution. Hafiz, with his magic wand then... More

It's true that Hafiz is getting too commercialized - my tour itself consists of 6 boats all at once. As a nature lover I can't help but wonder how his daily tour would not disrupts firefly's mating cycle. If you're local and there are many western tourists on the same firefly tour, do not expect to get on the same... More

the boat was good and the man who took us new a lot about the things we see and was very intresting to hear him tell us about thing no good for very small children

I like the trip to see fireflies, my childrenloved it very much....the information's was superb. It was one the good moment in our family trip...the children has plenty to say to their friends in school.

It was an astounding moment with Mr.Hafiz. We gained knowledge as we saw many magnificent treasure in the nature tour with him. A place not to be missed by anyone when they pay a visit to Cherating! No doubt, the firefly tour was the magical moment as he had the communication skills to communicate with the insect and bring it... More

Hafiz and his crew are certainly passionate about fireflies and had developed a way to communicate with them. When he flashed his lights in a specific way, the fireflies cames and flew all around us, we felt like we was in an Avatar movie! A must do when visiting Cherating
