“Cool experience w/ Corazon Travel & Tours for our Firefly Watching Bay Cruise with Dinner. Direct pick up from hotel; we had nice experience with wonderful guide/ driver: Kuyas Ed & Mark. Great initiative by Kuya Mark to place 2x Firefly inside a bottle for our close viewing, and then releasing them. Dinner was decent; as expected from creative arrangements by the locals.
